After taking a 1/2 months break from the game due to:me slightly losing interest ,smash ultimate's existance and the university i came back a couple of weeks ago,saw the new cards and followed the reveals liking (or at least not disliking) basically all of them,I was really hyped,and then.....they had to print a card that destroyes armor,not even a set amount...all of it

As Someone that loves grindy,value games CW (well...odd warrior, i play wild since frost lich jaina and elemental shaman got moved) Is a favorite of mine and the card Is Just a huge middle finger to anything i stand for 

Now I'll be honest and say that i do get that some people don't enjoy this kind of games and maybe the mechanic in general BUT:

Firstly there are way less toxic ways to deal with It than Just invalidating an entire playstyle because you managed to draw a 5 mana 5/5 (Minions/spells that deal more damage to a Hero with armor are an idea,or even destroying half of it would have been...fine,not good but at least not stupid)

Secondly (more of a personal rant/saltyness) if you are going to do this AT THE VERY LEAST give us an odd card to (at least semi consistently) mess with combo/otk/infinite/mill decks that are way more toxic to deal with

At the end of the day I'm probably still going to play because I still enjoy the game (when my opponent isnt playing One of the aforementioned decks at least) and other decks but my Mood went from "woooooo new expantion with actually fun and strong cards" to "welp,i Guess i still have my Reno valuewock as a fun and pretty good deck"

 Or now you just can't stack armor like a retard every turn ? you can have 15-20 armor up and save cards to put more after the tech card is played ?

 L2P KID.

GOOOOOD this games need this kind of thing to shake the meta mid xpacks.

Always dust. you lose nothing crafting it later if stays good.

I don't think this will see play at all, not even in a aggro or midrange deck Revenge of the Wild saw no play at two mana and i doubt it'd see play in other classes for seven mana even with the 6/8 body

 maybe because its Hunter... and hunter dont fucking trade they  go face.

this same card would be BROKEN if it was for a warrior and mech.

ROGUE IS FINE THEY SAID

"At ranks 1-4, it has reached 30% of the field. While the legend meta early in the month is still in its diapers, it is telling when Lackey Rogue is nearing 35% of the field at higher levels of play. "

35% of all matchs are rogue... 

Sure why nerf broken cards if you can buff/print even more broken cards ?

let me start:

Let's compare: Arcane Intellect vs Raiding Party
Arcane Intellect is arguably one of the best card draw in the game.
yet it looks x trash compared with Raiding party. 

Raiding Party tutors 2 specific cards and that already makes it a supeiror Arcane Intellect.

can also combo to draw 3 cards and again tutors a weapon.

even if this card was 5 mana i would still think it's too good

The short answer: they probably did, but to create hype around Demon Hunter they made the cards too strong just so they kan nerf them later

I could see this being played as your top end in something like Zoo in the same way that Liam and Rexxar were used. It gives you juice/value in control games.

Or maybe in a control warlock, to convert all your useless cards at the end of the game. Or with Hakkar.

Mana wyrm being in every aggro mage in every meta ever was a real issue, Blizzard stated many times they want standard to always feel new and refreshing. 

I don't see that as a problem at all, as the rest of the decks has gone through some very significant changes. Also:

Go away money eater !

I just want my free pack .

Temporarily sacrifices board control to your opponent, but also gives you an opportunity to heal yourself. If you're playing against aggro, this could help you stabilize a bit longer, but of course it relies on you having a way to kill them immediately.

Edit: Buffed the health by 1 to balance it against the fact that you're giving your opponent two 1-drops, as opposed to Hungry Dragon, where you give them one and keep a similar statline.
