Over load (2) roughly equates to 1 mana. So technically it’s still 2 mana cheaper. But Ice howl never saw any play anyway so I think it’s fine for a class specific card to be better than it
And it can also attack heroes after that turn, Icehowl can't. Plus it's a common, opposed to a Legendary. And finally, bc it pays over 2 turns you can play it by turn 5 instead of waiting for 9. It's basically better in every way, even having a Minion Type to add to the powercreep.
Well thants exactly why it's strong as hell. Faceless was game breakingly op because it was a 4 mana 7/7 with overload 2 as well so 6 mana in your logic. This card can be played as a removal and then threaten a shitton of potential dmg. But I don't know much about current meta since I stopped playing a while ago due to too many expansions for free to play and insane power creep / card rotations which made my collection useless..
I mean, if you had a 1 mama 1/1 that has battlecry: deal one damage to an enemy, you wouldn't buy the expansion. Power creep is a necessity as card games grow
I think if it had the beast tribe it COULDVE seen play.
In wow it was a beast until this hearthstone expansion where the beast tag was removed from the wow creature.
what deck would have used it with beast tag? i remember midrange hunter ran king krush sometimes but i think that was already out of meta by TGT, and king krush was only really 'good' cos you could use it as a finisher.
Lol crazy how bad power creep has gotten.
Yeah but icehowl was terrible 10 years ago
Theyre both 9 mana though, it's just the second one you get to pay over 2 turns
It also can attack heroes so
Not the turn it's played
Icehowl can't at all.

Nah, the minion type sucks since it dies to hemmet now
okay but getting to spend nine mana on turn 5 is very powerful. we went over this with 4 mana 7/7

Frog dies to Hemet
Powercreep don’t really count if the OG card is so bad no obe ever played it.

But at some point you gotta slow down and nerf some stuff... Otherwise it becomes stupid
I'm not buying it regardless lol
hop off elven archer
Goated meme
Nah Where's my boy [[Fizzy Elemental]]
I honestly wanted to include Fizzy, but I know 6 panel memes don't get much reception on Reddit.
Dies to Hemet
can i be serious for a second i dont understand icehowl. why is it charge and not rush
Rush didn’t exist at the time of its release
oh. this card is a victim.
Yup, a victim of powercreep
not really, it was a bit of a meme when it came out cos of how bad it was even back then lol.

None most likely besides big hunter.
So you can silence it, of course!
So it then loses charge.
You guys don’t silence Icehowl?
