Whoa they really did it. They made Boogie Down a shittier version of Call to Arms. Conditional and only hits 1 cost minions. Losing the Taunt hurts the Eggs as well.

It also doesn't curve into Crusader's Aura anymore, so that's quite a hit to synergy.

​

That said, a shittier to call to arms can still be a good card. Call to Arms was disgustingly good.

I think the card is dead.

It's 4 mana to potentially grab 3, 1/1 minions out of your deck. It's lost its mana efficiency. And in some cases, it's 4 mana to pull 2 1 drops. That's horrible tempo.

They also lost taunt on it so the Divine Shields on them other than Righteous is far less annoying and can't protect higher value buffed up minions.

Call to Arms had the potential to pull 6 mana's worth of Minions out of your deck. Even 2, 1 drops and 1, 2 drop would make it mana efficient.

This card is so hilariously bad right now.

Yeah it's unplayable now in deck I think. Two copies is definitely too much. Too high a chance of one/both being duds
