Ran a few mech decks with Arcane Nullifier and have really gotten to love the card. I have started replacing Sludge Belcher with it in a couple non-mech control decks. The 2 attack is a bit of a draw back but not being able to be targeted by spells or hero powers is a really big deal. You can also get it off a turn ealier than Sludge Belcher and if you are comparing to Senjin Shieldmaster the spell immunity is more than worth -1 attack. The main plus is that it forces agro decks to trade their low health minions with it instead of just being able to use removal on it.
What are people's thoughts? I mean on the other hand you do get 4-7 worth of stats from Sludge Belcher.
The problem with Nulifier is it can still be silenced by owl. And its 2 attack is medicore against control it doesn't trade up very well in the mid-late game.

This card is why I tech'ed in owls in most of my aggro decks
Spell immunity is irrelevant: Hunters: silence Zoo: runs only implosion, which is superfluous in removing it Mech mage: Minions have too high hp and they won't fireball a 2/5

My legendary count excluding adventure legendaries, dupes and old murk eye: 40
Card is mediocre even with Powermace/Iron Sensei. On its own it is trash. You can not replace Sludge Belcher, only Shieldmaster may be close just because slime is really bad against grim patrons.
Part of the reason to play taunts is to get people to use removal on it so your actual big guys don't get hit by them. I think this guy is fairly easy to deal with due to the lower power and I would much rather run a Tazdingo over him.
2 attack doesn't really cut it against mech mage or zoolock minions. The card has gradually fallen out of favor, haven't seen it in a non-mech deck for a while.

I like it with Powermace in Shaman. Makes for a tricky to deal with minion.
