These nerfs are largely terrible. I am incredibly amused at how Blizzard continues to be at this.
Nah, a couple missteps aside, they did a pretty reasonable job IMO.
BGH costs 2 more - whoopdie do.
Nobody hates that card more than I do and I think that was more than appropriate. Instead of being a decent three drop that allowed you to play a bunch of other crap, it's a bad 5 drop that limits what you can play with it.
It's no longer going to be a consistent, game losing tempo swing.
Hunter's Mark is out of nowhere.
Not really. 0 mana spells shouldn't be the answer to giant taunts. This was on the lower end of the spectrum of what people wanted, but nobody should be surprised.
Blade Fury not hitting face is GREAT, but this should happen with EVERY AoE spell, especially Consecrate.
EDIT: Wow, they changed that too. What an abysmal nerf.
Master of Disguise is what we all expected.
Well, it's the worst card getting changed but we knew that it's ability had the potential to break the game if a card was introduced with the right ability.
Molten Giant is a little more than what I expected, but we'll see how it pans out. Mountain Giant will be more important than ever for Handlock.
It's exactly what I expected. Molten Giant being ~5 mana at 10 health instead of 0 is important. If they're playing a giant for free, they should be in danger of getting burned down with spells. No more Molten-Molten-Sunfury bullshit.
It's fair now.
"Draw 2 cards" is costed, on average, at 3 mana. In terms of how it was costed for it's stats, it was essentially a 4 mana 5-5 AND it had the malleability of being a heal instead of card draw.
Keeper of the Grove I expected to get 2/3; 2/2 seems a bit much.
Nah, it has no business crushing early game on top of silence or doing 2 damage. Now it loses to 2 drops.
Force of Nature is great for Egg Druid now...except Egg Druid is dying unless Nerubian Egg gets a replacement (I hope).
I hope not.
Leper Gnome change...we'll see.
This was actually more harsh than I expected, but I'm happy about that. A 1 drop that trades with half the two drops and clocks in 4-6 face damage is pretty gross. Now it's mostly about the deathrattle.
Knife Juggler change is hilarious. This changes absolutely nothing.
Agreed. Three drops crush it now, but that's not too meaningful.
It is kind of being passively nerfed with the loss of a lot token cards.
