Power creep is the gradual unbalancing of a game due to successive releases of new content.[1] The phenomenon may be caused by a number of different factors and, in extreme cases, can be damaging to the longevity of the game in which it takes place.
I'm definitely neutral about the card as it stands, but I agree with what everyone is saying about power creep. If it's as blatant as this, I don't see the reason they couldn't have just buffed Magma Rager.
So, what does this even mean. Ice ice baby? I don't get it. This looks like an Unbound Elemental kind of. What? Ugh. Ice Rager. Won't see play really (Crazed Alchemist... maybe?), but makes Magma Rager cry. This must mean that Blizzard is going in the direction of basic cards aren't as good as cards you get from packs.
Ok I'll be one of the guys to cry issues here... this is seriously a problem. Ice Rager is, no question, completely superior to Magma Rager. The power creep is a serious issue in TCG's and I'd hoped Blizzard would avoid it but apparently not. They must buff Magma Rager to a 5/2 because when pack cards become no question better than any card you can get without spending money the fairness of F2P games disappears. Make no mistake! I am a big spender in Hearthstone and I own almost every card, but it's not fair if just completely better cards that entirely replace previous cards are released in expansions/packs. There's no finesse, no conditions to this card... It's just a better Magma Rager. That's not ok.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLL
P O W E R C R E E P

wtf man
randomly constructed decks built with suggest-a-deck nerf... now if i pick booty bay bodyguard or magma rager i'm being doubly retarded

RIP magma rager
We hardly knew ye.
A much needed magma rager nerf.
You either die a pimp, or you live long enough to see yourself become the hoe
Is this a joke or is this a joke?
Obvious nerf. Warlocks can't use Mortal Coil on it.
Fire melts ice, yet Ice Rager power creeps on Magma Rager? What is the meaning of this nonsense?

Magma Rager is still usefull, because you can only have 2 Ice Ragers in your deck Kappa
I really don't like the blatant power creep cards. Even if I still don't see these cards being playable. Blizzard should be more creative than this.
I like this card. Would be nice to combo with Shadowflame.

Next expansion: Earth Rager 5/3 for 3
Expansion after that: Wind Rager 5/4 for 3
Expansion after that: Rager (art is someone raging at Hearthstone) 5/5 for 3
