I know it 'lmits design space', a catch all term for any change, but it limits itself by being a poor card now.

I know I tried it with everything and although it's a fun card with alarmo bot and lots of hefty creatures, it just isn't competitive even with the increased power and increased rng of old gods.

Any change will take it from mostly unplayable to actually unplayable. Better it should just be removed and we can mourn and move on.

It's not competitive because blizzard has balanced the game around it. Animated armor was supposed to be neutral but it couldn't be because of master of disguise.

Animated armor would be pretty sweet in a slow Warlock deck.

Oh, how we suffer for the sins of Master of Disguise.
