It’s just another in a long line of nonsensical cards that you can’t react to or play around.
Why nerf it?
It completely ruins Wild and does nothing to Standard

Revert the “Bugfix” with Finley and Plot Twist.
Lol why? See more discard lock or play the whole deck rogue.
It’s not going to get nerfed, it is literally a meme, from an episode of South Park. Be glad they didn’t go full meme and have it deal 30 dmg.
You couldn’t react to or play around the EIGHT boars that died?
Okay.
There is no card that destroys a weapon for 1 mana – you can’t react! The Boars Warlock does nothing and then in a single turn plays the boars, wipes the board, eats all your mana, and deals 15 damage. You couldn’t react
You smack the Warlock around until they can’t do the bloodbloom+bat mask combo, shouldn’t be hard as the deck is too focused on tutoring to be defensive
Well yes, once they get the weapon it’s too late.
That’s why I said you should react to the boars.
How if boars is played and clone & destroy in ONE TURN ???
Don’t react, be PROactive, continously go face, the drawback of these decks is they need to keep their resources to tech what they need to get the sword asap
If they were able to just hold back and do nothing until they had a perfect hand to play all the boars in one turn, then that was your mistake.
You have to put pressure on them. If you just let them sit there, of course they will eventually draw their combo and win.
Lol… by turn 6 or less the weapon can be done. Its six cost without bat and 3 cost if the bat is dead. I went to legend with boar lock. The counters are bad draw, taking the boar, adding cost to spells or minions or discard lock.
I have had players pull the boar from the hand dirty rat and that 6 cost trade cards.
It’s pretty stale at diamond 5 and up. Pirate priest, discard lock, use all the cards rogue, big minion cheat shaman. All games end at round six unless bad draws.
The player has no Quest, no board control, basically does nothing except draw cards, and then in a single turn plays everything from their hand and destroys the opponent without giving them any chance to react. THAT IS VERY BAD GAME DESIGN!!!
win/loss depends only on RND of which cards you draw 0 skill play
If they have no board control, then just kill them with your early minions.
What am I missing here?
What kind of minions do you even have on turns 3–4 for 4 mana? You can have a full board, but the Warlock just plays Boars and clones them for free without needing any mana, clears your board, and you instantly take 15 damage. And what are you supposed to do next turn with 1 mana? The problem is that Boars can be played this early — that’s what you’re missing…
People regularly complain on this forum about losing to aggro decks on turn 4 or 5.
Are you saying that’s not actually a thing, and those complainers are just making it up?
Again, you beat warlock down until they can’t use the bloodbloom+bat mask combo, it’s not hard
But they literally clear the board with that combo and you have 1 mana and -15 face
Y’all need to come to an agreement
