    Used Devolve against a Hexed (0/1) minion that got buffed by a Bonemare, turning into a 4/5 and, since you can't go below 0, the Hexed minion maintained its frog form and the buff... Dunno if bug or intended, but I think it should turn into another 0-cost minion, or at least lose the buffs, since all other mana cost minions lose their buffs...

    I've been playing this deck for a while and I've made these substitutions:
    Swipe for Starfall
    Golakka Crawler for Tar Creeper
    Feral Rage for Tar Creeper
    Also, I don't have 2 Ancient of War, so I'm using 1 of those and an Ironbark Protector for now.

    Even though it costs more, I find Starfall more flexible than Swipe:
    - If you need to clear the board, it's got 2 dmg instead of 1;
    - If you need to get rid of a strong minion, it's got 5 dmg instead of 4; and
    - If you use it with Fandral Staghelm, it's a 7 dmg on the main target + 2 dmg to the rest, basically a Swipe on steroids (the 9 mana cost of this combo in one turn can be achieved/mitigated by using Innervate)

    Golakka Crawler is great against pirate decks, but I find Tar Creeper a strong 3-cost taunt card for the purposes of Jade snowballing, hero dmg mitigation in the early-mid game and spell-targetting of Shadow Word: Pain, since the other cards this spell might be used on (Fandral Staghelm and Jade Behemoth) are way too valuable to be lost with a simple Shadow Word: Pain.

    As for the Feral Rage, I rarely used it with Fandral Staghelm and even though I still find it useful, I was already using Bite instead of it and found it more reliable in terms of hero dmg mitigation. Still, I traded Bite for Tar Creeper because of all the benefits I think this card provides to the deck.

    I'd appreciate some comments on those trades!
