You can't harass members who play Face Hunter, nor are they compelled to make preemptive apologies or justifications for playing it. They don't hack or crack their opponents' game, they simply play existing cards that form a specific deck. If you suck at countering Face Hunter, you should blame the designers, not the community.
No, it will seem play dropping from Piloted Shredder. And there's a pretty good card, since the deathrattle will actually proc compared to flame juggler.

When you evaluate cards you can't say it's good just because Piloted Shredder might drop it.
That means Shredder is good, not the card he drops.
i think this is gonna be play along side knife juggler, almost never do i ever want to play knife juggler on turn 2.... and this card can trade up for a 3 drop and deal 1 dmg to random enemy....
I would rather use this than flame juggler. Most of the time I would want a 3/2 than a 2/3 unless the effect is good. Plus, it's a beast. I think its a good card.
If a card is so low in power that it sees absolutely no play whatsoever then making a strictly better version of it isn't power creep because the initial card basically doesn't even exist.
"Power creep is the gradual unbalancing of a game due to successive releases of new content. 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."
The fact that Huge Toad is better than Bloodfen Raptor doesn't 'unbalance the game' since it's still not better than any existing 2-drop. Power creep refers to increase in power level of cards in the game as a whole. Not in individual instances of weak cards getting buffed. If Bloodfen Raptor was instead buffed to be Huge Toad, you wouldn't think 'oh power creep.' You would think, 'oh ok, they buffed a bad card... it's still underwhelming.'

I was more referring to the "power creep" over a specific card. It might not be the correct usage of the words, but at least now you understand what I mean. My biggest fear with this isn't that Huge Toad will become a game-breaker, because we all know that this card is mediocre at best. My fear is more that this will lead to them just raising the power level of new cards, making them objectively better than old cards, to compete with the the established meta cards such as Piloted Shredder. They already released Evil Heckler that's technically over-stated (nine stats + Taunt) and I'm worried that they'll continue to release cards that make old cards inferor. 5/5 Firewind Yeti next?
I came to believe that this is irrelevant because cards like these aren't used in constructed anyway, and adding variations like these or even power creeps seem to be just additions for arena. Considering how arena works, it's hardly even matters if you play a raptor vs this. I just increases the card pool and such.

Seems worse than Flamejuggler imo. The only thing better about this over flamejuggler is that it's a beast.
This sound like a shaman card a worst version of something that already exist.
Kind of a pointless card, unless.......feint death, and baron riverdare!!!! Nooooooo, still bad.
Not impressed, better than razorfen raptor though.. mostly an arena card.
This card isn't even viable for Deathrattle decks...
Rip Bloodfen raptor
worse then knife juggler. wont see play
i think this is gonna be play along side knife juggler, almost never do i ever want to play knife juggler on turn 2.... and this card can trade up for a 3 drop and deal 1 dmg to random enemy....
Mid-range Hunter may run one replacing Elekk but nowhere close to replacing Juggler.
Meta changes the moment you switch your deck.
Yeah, powercreep minion is lame. This stuff happens though. I'm not 100% sure what makes a huge toad explode and deal you damage though.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.

I bring life and BLAHHHHHH

I look at this card as a card that could be played in Sligh in Magic: the Gathering. Whether that translates into Hearthstone, I'm not sure.
