I appreciate the changes to this card and bringing it into the standard meta. If it would have been like this from the beginning, I bet it would have seen more play.

You both make a valid point. One perspective that I would offer is that a tool tip is relatively easy to create. Microsoft has been doing this in Excel for years and it uses so little code to put in copious amounts of them it's ridiculous. There are tool tips present now, and expanding on them seems relatively easy. For example the Flesheating Ghoul. If it were to be given the minion type "Purge" for example. The tool tip could be as simple as " (-) Holy, (+) Shadow".
Doing something like that, along with your Pokemon reference, does add a layer of intense complexity, but one that wouldn't be too hard to adapt. At a glance, a number of minions would be impacted, but for all intents and purposes you would still be left with a minion that would die easily to a Holy Smite but have a resilience to a Defile.
I would argue that having this type of thing implemented would help encourage players to not stockpile their decks with Grass type for fear that they run into a Fire type deck. It would basically force players to be more versatile.

I certainly hope that this card never goes away. It is honestly such a staple for Warlocks

Maybe some synergy with the new Ritual of Doom, but that's really it

Psyched that this stayed the same. Always a fun card to bust out

Great ability, stats good enough to not get nerf'd, the cost somewhat helps out the balance as well

I can see the potential for a combo, but not a lot of versatility

ONe of my favorite cards ever, not to mention the entry voice is hilarious

I think that the boost to health was weird simply because of it's ability. Like does 1 more health really make that big of a difference?

I cannot say more good things about the cost reduction on this card!
