April 2016 Card Nerf
It was announced on April 20th, 2016 that Keeper of the Grove would receive a nerf.
- Health reduced to 2, down from 4.
Quote from BlizzardKeeper of the Grove is a strong and versatile minion that combines Silence with solid stats, which made the decision to include it in every Druid deck virtually automatic. Whether or not to introduce a source of Silence to a deck should require some decision making, so Keeper of the Grove shouldn’t be a default choice for all Druid decks. Its stats have been changed from 2/4 to 2/2.
If you want a better body with silence, you might as well go with Spellbreaker unless you really want a 4 mana 2/2 deal 2 dmg.
The point of this card isn't that I want silence or damage in my deck. It's that I want both silence AND damage in my deck, without taking up two niche slots.
Noo, that's not only a Keeper of the Grove nerf but also a Piloted Sky Golem nerf, that card is already bad.
Nerf well deserved, fuck druid.
can this card deal its two damage to the hero?
how is this not a battlecry?
