Blake Windrunner needs to run like the wind

No. Learn to play Puwen. He's simply a better choice for slower decks.

Well, Puwen doesn't help a lot when your opponent plays blake on turn 2.

The point is: Puwen is better vs shadow decks because he doesn't die by Brutalis and Snake, but Blake is better vs other human decks and it is far more useful if you have board control.
So I think both Puwen and Blake are good, just use them in different situations

Dirk doesn't need more hp, he has ambush. Just adding haste is better.

Yeah it's fine. Actually 2 or 3 hp doesn't change a lot for him as nobody plays Arcane Burst

Blake getting haste and having the same cost would be effing retarded.

That would make him a Special Delivery (which costs 4, mind you) that retains board presence once the damage has been dealt... Oh yeah, for HALF the resources of Special Delivery.

I just want to say, I am totally cool with players voicing ideas to change/improve the game, but sometimes I'm just astounded at how poorly thought out those suggestions are. I mean... meh, nevermind.

Blake is fine. You have an offensive option early on, compared to Puwen.
Going first means you can generally play your Blake without fear and crush the enemies Puwen, or force them to wait until they have the ability to regain advantage.

A 2/2 for 3 that had haste would be fine, imo. Even a 3/1 for 3, but not a 3/1 for 2. That's overkill, especially considering that the health is nearly irrelevant once you gain board control against most enemies. Anything with 3 or less hp is getting one shotted by most spells/abilities anyways.

View above post the only way you could have a human ally with haste that hits for 3 is if it costed 5 or has a downside (like you lose 2 hit points when it comes into play) otherwise its just simply better than special delivery unless your opponent is at 3 and has armor (which is way to specific a case for it to warrant use of special deliver if you hve an ally with haste that does the same damage)

All true, but special delivery sucks xD

For the most part true but it can be useful for decks that have limited DD (Warriors, Rogues, and Hunters) an ally that does 3 damage for 4 would make it completely worthless and if that ally costed 3 say good bye to smite and shield bash as well (and maybe even fireball).

Well, I didn't want to start any arguments here, BlanketEffect, but I just feel like Blake Windrunner should either be reverted to his previous state before the nuke at two hp, or he should get some special ability. And I'm not trying to insult any warriors/hunters here (I think priests and rogues have enough removal), but if you are going to have Special Delivery in your deck either: a) find better removal spells; or b) show some respect for your deck and go get a mage.
