    Good arena card. DOn't think Constructed is a place for this. It doesn't scale and it has no tribe. Crystallizer is just better because 1/3s at least make better targets for buffs.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Only upside i see for this card is when you get devolved in wild into a 2-2

    Does anyone know the artwork for this? I recognize it as TCG art, but I can't remember the card.

    A man is lying on the street, some punks chopped off his head

    I'm the only one who stops to see if he's dead.

    Hmm. Turns out he's dead.

    So 1 mana 2/2 is good, but perhaps now they are not good enough to really see play in constructed unless there is other benefits such as tribal synergy etc.

    Should be a very nice card in Arena though.

    4 statpoints for 1 Mana is a lot, but i don't know if the +1/-1 makes it better or worse than the usual 1-3.

    Premium 1 drop. It is lacking a tribe, but its still going to be a staple in decks that aren't concerned with that. It won't be the best 1 drop ever, but its a nice choice across the board.

    To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.

    I really don’t think constructed decks are gonna want this that much. Usually you’ll want to use a more threatening 1 drop instead

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    This can be a thing if Embiggen works well enough or this might make Embiggen work better. Both are acceptable.

    I think a 1 mana 2/2 just isn't good enough anymore without any other upside (tribe, effect,...). But maybe this finds a place in hyper aggressive decks

    Cute, but seems to be pack filler to me. As people mentioned, a 2/2 doesn't cut it anymore without any kind of effect or fitting a specific tribe, even for 1 mana. That said, this card might still fit some aggressive decks to fuel cards like Brazen Zealot. Enchanted Raven saw play in token Druid, and now we have a neutral variant.

    Enchanted Raven but for everyone. Do they want it, though; that is the question. No tribal synergy can be majorly off-putting for some classes.

    1 mana 2/2 is a strong play for any token/zoo deck, but not having any tribal tag might mean the opportunity cost of this is too high for aggro archetypes.

    it's a card I guess, zoo might want to run this, synergy with carpet but no more than that.. zoo always is good at the start of the expansion so we will see.

    I don't see this card as a staple since it has no tribal tag, or any text (like divine shield,deathrattle or reborn) the 1/1  alternate "2/2"s have

    1-mana 2/2 for every class seems very good, and yet there are still better options that are more specialized than this card.
    I can see this not seeing as much play in Wild, but might be quite strong in standard, and possibly Arena.

    I mean, if you are in need of a 1-drop. This guy is always here. 

    There isn't much to say about this card, it is pretty straight forward. It is just good, 2/2 for 1 is a good 1-drop. So this will see play in aggro/midrange decks.

    Aggressive decks want to play something on turn 1. Not always they do have enough things that they want to run at that cost, in those cases they can put this card as an early pressure.

    Is not super strong, but has his merit in my opinion

    Not bad, not really great either. It will probably see some play, but since there's no tribe, it won't be so great.

    Very solid 1-drop stats. Not sure it'll join the meta unless this makes a Magic Carpet zoolock build suddenly meta

    WHYYYYY?? Why has this set to be this strong? A 1 mana 2/2 without any downside is just not healthy.

    Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!

    Potentially acts like a pre-nerf Leper Gnome, letting aggro decks chip in damage right out the starting gate. However the lack of a tribal synergy means it might lose its shine compared to 1-cost Murlocs or Beasts or Mechs.

    Never underestimate an agressive 1 drop. The most meta-defining cards of all time have mostly been 1 drops, since those can decide the fate of a game before you have mana to hero power.

    Quote From Input

    It feels really weird to be saying that a 1-mana 2/2 isn't stacking up well enough to make it in constructed, but here we are.

    Well, we've had 1 mana 1/3 with strong upsides since the very beginning of Hearthstone. This has a similarly strong statline, but no extra effect, so I don't find it an outrageous indicator of power creep. Although power creep has happened this expansion, obviously.

    It was going to happen sooner or later, as a legendary it would have been to weak. Aggro will use it and maybe some other decks that lack 1 drops and can buff this card. 5 stars
