Or if you only need four or less damage to win on top of what's already on the board...then who cares what you morph, its gonna be lethal. Attack once with whatever, turn it into the boar and attack again, morph a legend or who gives a fuck what. Also, fuck yo taunts bitch, its as good as a poly or silence for only three but infinitely more versatile. Its poly/silence/a nuke/a friendly body all in one package. That card is going to be ebolaidscancer. Thanks more charge Blizz GG, everyone loves Huffer so skillz.

Polymorph:boar is so strong when I saw it in my brawl game yesterday I thought it was just something for the brawl, if its a real card its easily one of the top 5 cards from tgt.

AND its a spell...to trigger AntonioDias, Mana Wyrm or Flamewalker, and reduced to two by apprentice....one by two apprentices.

I think you guys are overestimating it. It's 4 damage for 3 mana that requires you to sacrifice a creature in play and doesn't ignore taunt. Maybe it would have a place in a full on aggro mage list, but tempo mage doesn't really run disposable creatures. Even shit that's supposed to die, like Mad Scientist, you still need that deathrattle.

I mean yeah, losing that creature isn't a big deal if the 4 damage is lethal, but frost bolt and fireball already do that job quite well.

The fact that its castable on enemy minions is what puts it over the top.

Its also a second attack from any existing minion. Get your value from an apprentice that turn then attack with it again at a mana reduction on the spell, giving it more damage on the body in the process.

Goes on an on about how unbalanced charge is.

Ignores the value of a spell that can provide it to your minions.

Its not going to be used on your own minions primarily. It'll still be a silence primarily, its the versatility of also giving you the option of another 4 damage that puts it over the top.

Except they gave it to a class that already has frostbolt and fireball, neither of which require a creature in play and both of which ignore taunt and work as removal without leaving a 4/2 body behind. I didn't ignore the value of anything.

Yeah but you aren't replacing frostbolt or fireball with this card, you'd be replacing Sheep.

People were comparing it's value to Sheep though, saying it was more versatile than Sheep.

It won't replace Frostbolt or Fireball, but it will probably very often replace Sheep.

You don't run sheep in aggro decks and control decks would rather have something they can clear with acolyte or a ping.

Depending on the deck you could look at replacing AI, mirror image or even secrets...there's certainly enough potentially promising new TGT 1-3 drops to consider replacing scientists with.

Its definitely geared toward a more aggressive style, but I guess I just imagine an aggro deck someday being viable in HS.

You don't replace scientists unless you cut secrets altogether. But yes, a full on face-mage aggro deck might run boar because they're more likely to have disposable creatures to use for it. I believe I already said that.

Except I'm not really convinced the fact that it doubles as a really shitty silence makes it better than arcane golem, which doesn't require a creature in play to use.

This isn't even remotely comparable to Arcane Golem for all the synergies and utility I've already listed. It even costs one less and lacks the very significant downside to AG. You seem hung up on the charging four attack aspect of it only.

I'm not hung up on anything, I acknowledged that it doubles as a shitty silence, it's the same cost as Arcane Golem, and you must not play any aggro or you'd know the extra mana crystal very rarely bites you in the ass.
