Wild Slash

Removing Shock & Lightning

What makes you guys think getting rid of Shock and Lightning Strike will make "more interesting" two-mana Shocks and three-mana bolts see play? Even with an upside, three + mana for three damage isn't very good (with the exception of Prophetic Bolt and Fiery Temper, and Temper is only good in a dedicated Madness deck). Also, what exactly is not interesting about Atarka's Command, Skullcrack, Pillar of Flame or Wild Slash? They are/were by no means too powerful either.

Keeping control of the answers is about making the threats more interesting.
