This might be a shitpost, but Bob is a seriously odd card to introduce right after they nerfed Reno and Reska because having your starship nulified felt pretty sad.
A quote from the Hearthstone Devs on release of patch 31.0.3 (my bold for emphasis)
"in deciding which cards to bring down in power, we looked at three major categories: 1) overly powerful cards/archetypes from older expansions; 2) cards that led to frustrating experiences, even if not overly powerful; and 3) cards that were overly hostile to new expansion cards and mechanics, like Starships."
Bob also enables perpertual board freezes in Rogue and mana regen shenanigans in Shaman (in combo with Murmur and Shudderblock). Both of these types of interactions have been nerfed in the past.
So yeah - 1 card manages to tick three different types of previously nerfed themes and he's neutral as well, so every class can play it!
Top design imo!
Just for clarity, i'm not saying Bob is OP, just that he's a preculiar card which seems to be at odds with several relatively recent statements about the direction of the game.
Bob is actually a very good card to run, along with MCT to help with board pressure. Its great to Steal the shitty Zilliax or Ceaseless expanse, additionally filling enemys hand with coins which can also cause him to burn a card.
Bob saved my ass many times, great card for all the trash in the meta currently.
Agreed. Bob also super playable in Reno decks in wild. Can buy you a turn against the crazy aggro decks and can help remove something, and 3 coins especially in the mid game is not for free. Plenty of times I’ve had to use Bob and opponent has played something bigger or wider.

Don't tell the others, but I'm rooting for you!
You... You wanna buy a funnel cake?

QQ MOAR
Gave up on standard a while back. There is no vision or clarity anymore. Bob is not even among the biggest offenders.
