tuskboar: this card isn't op team 5 just named it as "limiting design space" i'm not sure why but it assume they can't push make beasts great themes with it around because those themes + a cheap charge minion ends up being too strong
It limits design space for the same reason Master of Disguise did - because any time they design a card they have to keep in mind that there exists a 1-mana neutral Charge minion. Charge is an uninteractive mechanic, and 1 mana is cheap enough to slot into all sorts of combos. Just because there aren't Stonetusk Boar OTKs running around right now, that doesn't mean the card isn't still a problem. Hell, such decks not existing is evidence of the problem - Blizz are having to bend over backwards to ensure they can't possibly exist. It's got absolutely nothing to do with the card being a beast (although that certainly doesn't help when we specifically talk about hunter and druid).
The HS playerbase fear and hatred of OTK decks are misplaced
