This title is not accurate, though I can see how what I said would be easy to misunderstand. I didn't say it was likely. Just more likely than adding "minion" to Demonfuse.
The sentiment is that we shouldn't have to make all our cards that target a race more verbose because a hero of that race exists. Imagine we did make a Huffer hero (no chance) - now all the cards that target beasts are either confusing or need to add the word "minion".
As we continue to add more cards, this type of consistency gets more important, so you know how new cards work because you know how old cards work. The fact that Demonfuse reads like it should target Jaraxxus and Bestial Wrath reads like it could target a Huffer hero (again, not happening ;-) is not ideal.
That said, I appreciate all the feedback in this thread, and don't worry, no plans have been made for any changes just yet.
