I agree that 1-drops seem to need the extra stat to be worth a card, also because of the hero power.
But stats and mana do follow a linear pattern. There isn't a single 2 or more cost minion in the game to have more than the allowed number of stats without some sort of a drawback. And even among the 1-drops, most of them follow the rule of max 3 stats. If the base amount of stats for 1-drops was 4, I would understand. But right now only some 1-drops arbitrarily get 4 stats, and I was just wondering what the logic behind it might be.
I do agree that some 1-drops are more powerful than they should be, but If 1-drops were statted in the same way that other cards were, then they would see little to no play. Compare Voidwalker and Goldshire Footman.
Similarly, if high-cost cards were statted like lower-cost cards, then they would also see no play. Sure, a 2-mana (3/3) is great, but a 10-mana (11/11) would be garbage.
I don't comment on how good or bad a card is until the last card is revealed. Who knows. We may see a 1 mana battlecry "Trigger your minions end of turn effects" and a 1 mana hunter spell "Give your 1/1 minions charge".
I can confidently say that this Hunter spell will never happen.
I'm a huge fan of cards like Moroes and Reliquary Seeker, but this just seems far too slow and easy to deal with. Let's hope we get some additional synergy this expansion.

Stats and mana cost do not follow a linear pattern. 1-drops have to be stronger because cards themselves are resources.

This could be said about any card ever.

I feel like Mecha'Thun or even Mogu Cultist decks would be more consistent.

Gotta say that this is one one of the designs I rather like.

I've had success using him in Holy Wrath Paladin. It really takes people off guard seeing 3 extra copies of Shirvallah, the Tiger.

Obviously very powerful when the effect triggers, but mage is going to need a several more Dragon synergies before this card is worth considering.
