Just change the card text to "Battlecry : The next card you draw costs life instead of mana.". Problem solved.

I just want Blizzard to care about Wild. I feel like it'd be really good for the format if they introduced a card rotation or a banlist of cards. Something similar to what Standard has. I just want them to even CONSIDER Wild when they're making new cards. I just want the game to be fun again outside of Battlegrounds.

Why didn't they just get rid of the card immediately? I remember being a beta tester for this game. Blizzard actually seemed to care about the game back then. Testing mattered. Clearly things have gone way, way downhill since then.

When you have a steady supply dipshits who will piss away all their parents' earnings on animated pictures regardless of circumstance, it becomes pretty clear "testing" and "balance" is a lower priority.

 More than anything this just shows that Blizzard is totally unable to balance the cards they introduce or they are unwilling to do so because the game is still profitable from inertia.

Isn't it 15th of the month starting in an hour? That's Nozdormu day, I can't wait to play Nozdormu games in Ranked, with all the folks who'll celebrate it!

 It doesn't work

Is just a fail psicological Nozdormu Day while there's no passive legendary quest to incentivate add nozdormu on deck

Secret mage has plenty of counters, it also keeps toxic decks like this retardlock from totally taking over the meta.

 Because retardreno and retardodds are not taking over anyway? lol Why even ban something in wild, the format is stale and full of OP cards... I guess the Reno/Odd/Secret players have really really loud voices.

Why ban it when you have all the other players running Reno decks? Oh wait, I get it - it recks the Reno decks ROFL. Too bad, it was a great card to destroy pew pew priest.

Mercenaries mode is going to be a roguelike random dungeon crawler using a team instead of a deck. They will be releasing 50-60 mercenaries to COLLECT(no doubt buy most of them)

 Hahaha, if only it were that fair and reasonable. It's actually a gacha game where you pay cash for a random roll at a new mercenary, and the best ones have like a 0.01% chance of dropping.

I hope f2p people have the sense not to play it at all once they see what it actually is, or at least the sense not to complain about it. The whole reason Mercenaries was made is to cash in on the success of RAID: Shadow Legends, so there's no way Activision is going to create a business model that is any less predatory than that one.

One day, the card will be banned in Standard too. It's only a matter of time.

Well, obviously not, as they mentioned possible future standard nerfs in this very article.

Nerf != ban

Yep, and that format will replace the useless classic: each month only will be playable specific sets from previous years, changing each month

 EXACTLY!

Well, it won't replace Classic. Blizzard seems to like this idea of bringing back nostalgic feelings. 

But it sure will be a brand new thing, where you will be able to play from rotating sets of the last 4-5 years. But not before that. The reason is that Hearthstone changed. And many of the old sets appear to have problematic cards in what would be modern Hearthstone. That's why you see in Wild a couple of broken decks here and there.

A decidedly hit or miss card but when it hits....

Thanks, Blizz.

I've posted this again, but mark my words. This is the prelude to a new format in Hearthstone. One between Standard and Wild, where you will be able to play the sets from the last 4-5 years. Just wait and see.

 Old school Block Format or Extended like MtG? I like it. 

With or without this change Wild is beyond broken. The power creep killed this mode.

ok so we all agree this card is a problem,what's next?what about secret mage,a broken deck that makes any other deck seems shit tier,didn't they want to leave wild a broken mode?

blizz logic is really poor,choose one,wild is broken or fix wild.  or ban a card once in a while and hope anyone complain for a month or two.

Secret mage has plenty of counters, it also keeps toxic decks like this retardlock from totally taking over the meta.

Should Celestial alignment be banned next? 

It breaks the game the same way as Stealer of Souls: by allowing you to draw and play your whole deck in a turn due to druid's huge card draw arsenal in wild.

And now that Lady Anacondra exists, its even worse. We haven't beem seeing much of it due to SoS, but after the ban goes live I think it will be much more prevalent.
