Speaking of Keeper of the Grove, Silence and minion removal are potent effects in Hearthstone. Currently, some removal options are too widely played, are attached to minions with efficient stats, or are simply too powerful. While removal is an important part of Hearthstone, it also makes playing big, exciting minions less rewarding. We are adjusting some of these cards so that the decision to add them to your deck comes with a cost, especially if you don’t end up finding an ideal target for them. These changes should help make cards with high attack or cool effects more interesting too.
Ironbeak Owl is a staple source for an inexpensive Silence in many decks. In line with our overall goal to make Silence effects more costly, Ironbeak Owl is moving from 2 to 3 mana.
Spellbreaker was always good. Owl was just more versatile for combos. It was and is still too expensive though at 4 mana to set up combos where you silence a big taunt, then play a charge minion. I expect spellbreaker to replace owl in a lot of decks now that the 4 slot is opening up from piloted shredder leaving play.
Uhhhh, Jeweled Scarab buff?
If Spellbreaker is 4/3 silence and this is a 2/1 silence. I feel this card needs a stat buff.
I think it needs a stat boost. Not a major one, maybe make it a 2/2 so it at least doesn't die to ping.
I'm not sure if this card is necessarily game-breaking per se, but the problem with this card is that it's a card that can be put into literally any deck and not mess anything in the deck up. Keeper of the Grove follows that exact same principal, as it's a card that you can include into literally any Druid deck and not tamper with your game plan, but to say that it's "overpowered" is debatable.
On the plus side, we can now get this from Jeweled Scarab. I can imagine we'll see a lot more Spellbreaker with this card getting nerfed.
Faceless Summoner be like "Why are they nerfing me ?"
Yes i see how it is a nerf, but also a buff. so what the mana crystall went up with one, but we got jeweled scarab to discover ironbeak when the "nerf" comes.
