Fire Snake

I'm not the largest fan of the change, if it really needed to be nerfed, I think making it 2 attack 1 hp would have been better.

Has it changed?

[Drexra]

I thought it changed from a 2/2 to a 1/2.

Edit: Just checked the beta status, and yep, it was reduced to 1 attack

Yeah, just found that. I thought Kyle was withholding judgement on this one for awhile

My love for this card will never go away, however, I thought it was fine as a 2/2. Everything can 1 shot it without fear of reprisal, though if we can't have that, a 2/1 would make more sense in my mind for a quick snake.

Yes, after playing now with the new Beta, I think 1/2 for cost 1 with no other abilities is underpowered. But if it is a 2/2, the cost to stat ratios for all Allies up the cost ladder need to be evaulated.

I'm writing a Blog on my thoughts now.

I think that 2/2 for 1 is more than fine. I'm assuming that all heroes will have more than 20 health to start with, and if so this card is worse than a lot of one drops in wow tcg( the heroes in wow tcg all have at least 25 health). must of the one drops in that game have 2 atk and some sort of other bonus. So I'm confident a 2/2 with no abilities is more than fair.

I will remain the defender of fire snake! With Blake being shown, I whole heartedly believe this card needs to be brought back to 2/2. Blake is significantly better for just 1 more resource, and that just seems kind of skewed in my eyes.

I agree, a 2/1 would be more appropriate.

My concern with 2 damage for only 1 mana is that you can have 4 of these in a 30 card deck, giving you good odds of quickly overwhelming the enemy. Pair that with an existing Portal, and in one turn you can go directly at the hero for 8 damage for only 4 mana...
