Unfortunately, being able to get hit by more tech cards is not an advantage.

Gear Grubber
Groundskeeper
Klaxxi Amber-Weaver
Mo'arg Drillfist
Onyxian Drake
Time-Lost Protodrake
 Cloak of Shadows
Cloak of Shadows

Even if already powercrept, this card was nerfed... Crazy, huh?

Even if the Heckler isn't the best, his insults still really hurt.

This kobold could not evolve away from being powercreeped.

Azure Explorer
Cosmic Anomaly
Guild Trader
 Gnomish Inventor

Her inventions are old-school.

Edwin, Defias Kingpin
Unchained Gladiator
 Grim Necromancer

Necromancy is grim work. That's why they've earned a buffet.

Buffet Biggun
 Infested Wolf
Infested Wolf

This flea-bitten mutt was overdue for being outperformed.

Even infamous combo pieces can get upgraded versions later down the line.

Germination
 Mortal Strike
Mortal Strike

Blizzard might have over-balanced this card too much to the point where it's worse than a basic card.

Fireball
 Oasis Snapjaw
Oasis Snapjaw

Sooner or later, every vanilla minion gets put out to pasture.

Maw and Paw
 Saronite Chain Gang

You could say this card doesn't scale well.

Wickerflame Burnbristle
Brass Elemental
Candleraiser
Cariel Roame
First Blade of Wrynn
Jitterbug
The Glass Knight
 Soul Split
Soul Split

As cool as the name and artwork are, it was printed as a worse version of an old mage spell and even got creeped in the set it was introduced in. Not every Demon Hunter card can be super strong.

Germination
Molten Reflection
 Spellbreaker
Spellbreaker

Spellbreaker feels spellbroken.

Royal Librarian
 Stand Against Darkness

No one stands against powercreep.

Azsharan Defector
Mok'Nathal Lion
Illidari Felblade
Warsong Outrider

Earth Revenant
Hippogryph
Hooded Acolyte

He should've stayed in bed.

Worgen Greaser
 Twilight Guardian
Twilight Guardian

Artifical dragon less good minion that actual cultists.

Crazed Worshipper
Hooded Acolyte
 Unsleeping Soul
Unsleeping Soul

I would also get insomnia, if during my release I was powercreeped from the get go. At least it's good for Silence Priest.

Azsharan Ritual
Germination
Molten Reflection
 Walk the Plank
Walk the Plank

Another reason why Rastakhan's Rumble felt off.

Assassinate
Cannibalize
Life Sentence
Siphon Soul
Twisted Tether

5-mana cards[edit | edit source]

Boomkin
 Arcanite Reaper
Arcanite Reaper

 Fiery War Axe's big brother was bound to be powercrept, too.

Bone Glaive
 Bloodworm
Bloodworm

Bloody hell, did anyone ever play this card?

Tenacious San'layn
 Bomb Lobber
Bomb Lobber

But what about his special deliveries?

Boomkin
 Bonfire Elemental
Bonfire Elemental

As unconventional as it is, it's still pretty decent in Elemental Mage decks.

Big Ol' Whelp
 Booty Bay Bodyguard
Booty Bay Bodyguard

This is straight up powercreep by design for being too weak.

Evil Heckler
Injured Marauder
Azsharan Sentinel
Drum Soloist
Flipper Friends
Priest of An'she
Protect the Innocent
Spirit Guide
White Eyes
 Captain Greenskin
Captain Greenskin

Yet another classic card getting outshined by later expansions.

Lady Ashvane
 Command the Illidari
Command the Illidari

Vengeance! Vengeance! Ven... We get it.

Flipper Friends
 Dalaran Crusader
Dalaran Crusader

Apparently, a faire attraction is stronger than the crusade.

Carousel Gryphon
 Emberscale Drake
Emberscale Drake

What to choose? Dragon scales or a giant shield?

Shieldmaiden
 Fen Creeper
Fen Creeper

Fen Creeper was already outdone by  Sen'jin Shieldmasta in usefulness, as he does the same job better for 1 mana less.

Crazed Worshipper
Hooded Acolyte
Aldor Truthseeker
Alley Armorsmith
Azsharan Sentinel
Direhorn Hatchling
Faceless Lurker
Flipper Friends
Gold Road Grunt

At least this is still a good pick in the Arena.

Azsharan Sentinel
Ethereal Peddler
Flipper Friends
Lilypad Lurker
Scalelord
Temple Enforcer
 Power Word: Tentacles
Power Word: Tentacles

Good triumphs over evil, and this card is proof. Also evil's power level was really restricted by  Divine Spirit existing, it turns out.

Power Infusion
 Salty Dog
Salty Dog

Pirate decks would take a pirate, even if it was powercreeped. Although maybe not this one.

Stalagg
Waxadred
 Stormpike Commando
Stormpike Commando

The Stormpikes' HUUUUUGE GUNS have seen better days.

Burrowing Scorpid
Oil Rig Ambusher
Boomkin
 Stranglethorn Tiger
Stranglethorn Tiger

The beasts of Stranglethorn Vale aren't as much "strangle" as they are "thorn".

Lotus Assassin
 Sunreaver Warmage
Sunreaver Warmage

We will remember the Sunwell... but not this card.

Boomkin
 Vilebrood Skitterer
Vilebrood Skitterer

Even creepers are bound to powercreep.

 Boulderfist Ogre
Boulderfist Ogre

Even the king of vanilla minions is not immune.

Gloomstone Guardian
Armored Goon
Coldarra Drake
Kingpin Pud
Toyrantus
 Lord of the Arena
Lord of the Arena

Every vanilla or single keyword basic card is sooner or later doomed to powercreep.

Gloomstone Guardian
Flipper Friends
Barrens Scavenger
Death Beetle
Hammer of the Naaru
Hidden Oasis
Lightshower Elemental
Ornery Direhorn
Toyrantus

Kingpin Pud
Toyrantus

The student outshines the master.

Devout Pupil
 To My Side!
To My Side!

And why not Three My Side?

 Windfury Harpy
Windfury Harpy

Firstly they nerfed her look, then they decided to finish her with powercreep.

Gyrocopter

7-mana cards[edit | edit source]

 Amani War Bear

The weight of powercreep was just too much to bear.

Siamat
 Bog Creeper
Bog Creeper

At least Bog Creeper powercreeps  Fearsome Doomguard.

It wasn't really that good to begin with.

Ancient of War
Furious Ettin
Gahz'rilla
Goru the Mightree
Linecracker
Slithering Deathscale
 Core Hound
Core Hound

The worse choice for  Ancient of War, except it's even worse.

Ancient of War
Malorne
 Fearsome Doomguard
Fearsome Doomguard

Rather weak for its cost, it has been overshadowed by many new cards, just like other cards of its generation.

Gloomstone Guardian
Bog Creeper
Gahz'rilla
Winged Guardian
 Furious Ettin
Furious Ettin

Now they have even more reasons to be furious.

Ancient of War
Goru the Mightree
 Gladiator's Longbow
Gladiator's Longbow

This titanic weapon didn't stand a chance against the ultimate weapon: powercreep.

Aggramar, the Avenger
 Grotesque Dragonhawk
Grotesque Dragonhawk

This card never got its 5 minutes. Even in arena it was a sub-optimal pick.

Siamat
 War Golem
War Golem

This is another example of the basic set being to simple; it's outclassed even among Basic set.

The Lich King
Mo'arg Forgefiend
Ozruk
Sesselie of the Fae Court
Storm Giant
Taintheart Tormenter
Tirion Fordring
 Gift of the Wild
Gift of the Wild

If these were the guys defending Darnassus, it's no wonder that it got burned to the ground.

Mo'arg Forgefiend
Ozruk
Sesselie of the Fae Court

Taintheart Tormenter

You could say this card is monumentally slow.

Toyrantus
Fizzy Elemental
Thaddius, Monstrosity
