it's a bad card. owl is just better. one extra mana is worth the flexibility even in aggro decks. freeze is super popular so not being able to silence your own minions out of a freeze is a flaw. you also can't silence buffed minions in aggro mirrors or value minions against control. There are better ways to kill zilliax than this thing. yeah, the card is good in the dream scenario where you have exact lethal with this because it's 2 mana, but there are normal games that will happen all the time where this is a dead card or a 2 mana 2/1 where you lose tempo and lower your chance of winning that game. If it was a good card, people would play it.
If you want cheaper than owl, you're better off with earth shock or the poison murloc.. you aren't really interested in paying an extra mana for a 0 synergy 2/1.
I'm actually trying to create a videogame, but while I'm a coder I didn't studied as a game designer, I only used to write gamemodes and lore for a minecraft community :P
Well, I guess that counts. :)
Oh, and good luck with your first video game!!! :D

Until I craft Spiritsinger Umbra, would Baron Rivendare be a decent substitute? It's the same cost, and I would imagine stays out just as long once your opponent realizes what's coming.
In the Standard Meta, I auto-include that in my decks that are running aggro simply because taunts are what get in the way, and anything other than that, such as lifelink, I'm out damaging what they can do... so I like the use of that card.
I'm very curious about this, especially because if nothing goes wrong, I will probably graduate in college as a Video Game Designer/Developer next year. Considering people is here mostly to talk a lot about games (especially Hearthstone, of course... :P), their mechanics, the balance, etc., I was wondering how many of you visit this forum and dedicate your life to this wonderful career??? :D :D :D
Technically there are only two female mogu, the Twin Consorts who were the second to last boss in the Throne of Thunder.
It also doesn't make any sense for Mogu to be in Uldum or for them to summon a Titan Keeper considering that the Mogu abandoned the duties bestowed upon them by the titans and became evil warlords that took over pandaria. Lore-Wise Mogu Cultist is a complete screw up.
Props for the noticing that in this era of "lore-matching" character cards.
The only other thing the card art made me think it was a new concept drawing of WoW female trolls when I first saw it. "Did this troll get expensive pedicure claws in place of their bird-like feet?"
because why run a 2-mana silence that only hits some minions versus a 3-mana version that hits all.
There is no taunt worth silencing on curve at 2-mana.
Mana cost is really only relevant when it comes to tempo and with silence you usually don't use it for tempo but rather for a final push or to eliminate an enemy threat, both cases are usually not reliant on a specific mana cost unless you want to combo them with something particularly expensive
Ironbeak Owl was played in every single aggro deck to silence taunts at 2 mana I think owl would still be played as it was before why you guys now claim the mana cost of a silence card is irrelevant in an aggro deck? It doesn't work against edwin, or magnetic none taunt minions, but rogue is not a hard matchup for aggro decks.
a 2/1 for 2 is as understatted as a 4/3 for 4 it's 1 mana lower stat line you pay 1 for silence and 1 for the body.
About the last line I play mostly decks that rely on tempo the mana cost is relevant, with owl you can't Leeroy Jenkins + Inner Rage + Bloodsworn Mercenary as well as a similar combo with Grommash Hellscream the mana cost is relevant in said deck, and taunt is a huge speed bump or straight loss if played late game and you are holding those pieces. as well as the option to do other such finisher earlier.
once again, flexibility is the key here. There's no reason running a card that is a dead draw against certain decks for 1-mana less over just running flexible silence.
Also, yes, the mana cost is in fact irrelevant outside of a few niche cases (pretty much just the one you mentioned at the moment and Aggro Warrior doesn't even run Silence right now) and I can prove this by pointing to the fact that after Owl was nerfed, Spellbreaker became the silencer of choice because it wasn't important to have the cheapest silence but rather to have the most overall efficient...and a 4-mana 4/3 is better than a 3-mana 2/1.
If you're so adamant about Shieldbreaker being better then just run her in your aggro decks and then come back when you've lost enough games to minions you wanted to silence but couldn't and where the mana cost made no difference whatsoever.
Yeah it's been great because outside of the good rolls, midrange hunter obliterates warrior with Dire Frenzy, Tundra Rhino, and Timber Wolf. 9 times out of 10.
I'm curious if you think Dr. Boom is more broken or Conjurer's Calling, just and an example of what you think is overpowered in Hearthstone.
Still the chance of getting an Arcanite in opening hand instead of Defender is too bad for Quest purposes.
Your point about Patches is absolutely correct, but i dusted the card after the nerf, so... 😅
Why nobody plays shieldbreaker?

Aggro warrior is a very real deck. not tier 1 or super popular but it's legit. someone won a masters qualifier with it the other day.
That's a fair statement. Although with the N'Zoth's First Mate, Upgrade!s, King's Defenders, Fiery War Axe, and the Woodcutter's Axes, you have plenty of weapons. Maybe drop one of the redundant King's Defenders and go with something for the potential bigger hit... like Arcanite Reaper. Also, why aren't you running Patches the Pirate? With Ship's Cannon he's kind of an autoinclude

I think you're playing in a very different meta than I am.
Legend Murloc Paladin
Not a problem if your deck is empty thanks too Prismatic Lens, Tip the Scales, and Murloc Tastyfin.
Plus just playing it as a Murloc River Crocolisk is alright in this deck anyway.
