Ooooh nice buff to an old goodie that hasn't been seen since GvG, noice!
After the mana reduction on Assassinate on Siphon Soul,
this only makes sense.
Really happy with this buff! I always liked this card but could never justify playing him.
Its a small buff. But its still will not see any play. Part of the reason why BGH was a staple back then wasn't simply because it only costs 3, but also because Mountain Giants on 4 used to just end games. Now that that's no longer the case, BGH even at 4 is just not having any real targets to take down.
Return of the legend?
you underestimate how important removal will become now that the core set has eliminated a lot of flex cards. Druids can't really deal with big threats efficiently (even less than before) so this might just be necessary if there's a deck that runs big minions like that.
7 attack is a huge ask to be honest. Druid's game plan is switching to token tempo or just plain big minions + ramp, so I don't think they'd have any problems with big minions that aren't cheated out. Maybe if pain warlock takes the meta by storm, it might be a mandatory requirement but until then I'm not convinced.
Unless we start seeing a staple 7-8 attack minion that is nearly always guaranteed to be included into decks (Ragnaros the Firelord used to be that minion), BGH would have to sit on the sidelines.
BGH was staple at 3 mana because was worth stated for its cost and the meta decks used to use 7+ attack Minions like Ragnaros the Firelord, Dr. Boom or giants.
Nowadays with that Buff maybe some clases with lack of hard removals like druid or pally can use It when they are playing agro/token archetypes.
Improved, and I am hoping to see a reason to run him now
One of the first epics I pulled, glad to see he has the beast in his sight again.
Nice buff, still it might be awkward for some control decks to include him. Also maybe your opponent isn't playing a 7+ attack minion? If so your spending 4 mana on a 4/2.. Not the greatest stats without an effect. Let's hope there will be a reason to include him again!
