They missed Stonekeeper Tarimfender, should have been made a 4-mana 2/4 or 2-mana 1/3. But no, let's let Odd Paladin play even cost cards and turn their board of 1/1s into 18 damage on turn 6.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
Even hunter is the new secret hunter. And even hunter is going to eat odd paladins for breakfast, between Explosive Traps, Wandering Monster, Snake traps, Rexxar, Zul'jin and spellstones. It going to be horrible. For a long time ive been toying with even hunter, thinking "Hm, this would be really good if only spellstone was even cost. Too bad it isnt". But now it is. Its going to be awful.

Even and Control/OTK Paladin are probably dead, and Even Shaman will be dead too, but hardly anybody plays it anyway. Regardless of their low playrates, they had no really polarizing matchups, which means that no deck really got better or worse because of them leaving. OTK Paladin was maybe somewhat polarizing, but whatever decks that one could beat, any other Mecha'thun deck will likely beat too.
Odd Rogue might disappear too, though I find it hard to estimate. I never played the deck, I can't say how important Cold Blood was. But that deck was far from the most popular as well, so not much changing with that either. It was one of the better counters to Priest and Warlock, so get ready to see even more Priests, and it's already the second most popular class.
Maybe Even Warlock got a little bit better again now, but with so many Priests around, unlikely.
I don't think Hunter will disappear. I don't even expect its playrate will drop significantly. The spellstone for 6 is a relatively light nerf, and only really slows you down if you have the perfect opening hand already. On top of that, It does not even effect Midrange Hunter, and Hunter's Mark can be dropped for something else. Some decks don't even use that either. The big gamewinner is and will continue to be Deathstalker Rexxar. That cards wins many matchups by itself, and this hasn't changed at all. So, no reason to give up on Hunter.
The only effect will be that some of the less popular decks will be played even less, if at all, and most certainly no new deck will come up because of it.

I’m sorry to disappoint you, but It’s going to suck

It is certainly a tempting deck to try....
Hunter really wants to play with 1 drops and having the Hero Power mana cost reduced to 1 is negligible as an Hunter. I do not think that Even Hunter will be a thing in the near future.

I don’t think it will work, it’s just a spell hunter with 1 mana hp but losing many core cards like animal companion, kill command, baited arrow, Rhok’delar and so on.

No Candleshot, Animal Companion, Master's Call, Subject 9, etc. Just to get a 1-mana power HP that has no effect on the board. Like Odd Paladin is concerned about it's health.
I bet anyone here a full pre-order of the next set that the most positively effected deck is Mecha'lock.
Odd Rogue is slowed, Even Shaman is destroyed, Odd Paladin could be handled before the nerf, and now hunter is slowed a full turn.
Mecha'lock outraces Mecha'druid and the paladin OTKs, and no control deck can touch it reliably. Get ready for Mojomaster and pray. I'll be playing Mecha'lock, and I imagine I'll be seeing the fun side of top 200 this time tomorrow.

Enjoying Americans winning in the Olympics is forbidden because it is political. A 14 plus page discussion of state-sponsored lawsuits against a multi-national corporation based on harassment, discrimination, and wrongful death allegations is apparently not political enough to raise an issue.
I hope we will see less secret hunters and hopefully changes in meta! :).
See you all in game soon!!
prepare your asses to counter millions of odd paladins lol

Even paladin is also taking a big hit with the Equality nerf.

Cool idea, i didnt think of that

true, great point but lets see when nerfs live :)

Seriously, this is silly beyond all belief.
The biggest loss for Even Secret Hunter may be Subject 9 of course. :-(
Hoping Odd Paladin becomes prevalent so I can go back to Odd Warrior. Miss that deck but it gets smashed by Hunter.
so 2 pm est? confirmed anywhere? can't find anything else about patch time

I've hit my activation energy for being a Dad on the internet. Another note unrelated to this post: it's spelled "synergy."
Venting complete - thank you for your attention.
