Not gonna lie, I was expecting a Rick Roll of some sort. Glad that wasn't the case.
Looks like they went a little overboard with the rogue hatetrain though. Nerfing three of their cards seems a little too much.
Oh well, glad the Elysiana issue has been addressed and this should hopefully shake up the meta a little. Although hunter might become a little too strong with rogue out of the way.
Does this mean that control warrior having coin = huge chance to win in a mirror? Brewmaster still looks useful to bounce one of many good battlecries ith a 50% chance to win control match-up with a coin.
Dr. Boom not even being tweaked at all in these changes? Something like making Delivery Drone add a random mech instead of discovering tons of Omega Devastators would have been something. This is so inconsistent and weakens other underpowered Rogue archetypes like Academic Espionage Rogue which was already in the gutter. Have no problem with the Miscreant and Raiding Party nerfs.
I'm sure there were better candidates for nerfs other than Prep but whatever.
Well all these nerfs were expected and predicted by many. Or perhaps influenced by others in the community.
Either way, I think we will see Rogue drop off drastically. The Raiding Party + Prep combo carried the free card draw and Combo enabler for other cards like Evil Miscreant.
This actually makes it so that Rogue has to wait 2 full turns later than they used to for the crazy big turn plays.
Before - turn 3. Prep + Raiding Party + Evil Miscreant.
Now - turn 5. Prep (2 mana discount) + RP (4 mana, now costs 2) + Evil Miscreant.
These nerfs happening all at once is on the same level of the Druid nerfs. I do believe this will kill Rogue completely now.
I might agree that something needed to be done, but all 3 at once AND to delay a combo play by 2 full turns is major.
Rogue is screwed in its current iterations. It'll be back for sure. Maybe we'll see less Control Warrior now? After all, the only reason we saw it so much was because of the rise of Tempo Rogue.
Some of the comments though.... 😬
Blizzard have listened to what the Majority of the fan base (including me) have been bitching about for weeks. They've done something about it and without even seeing what the Meta will be like in the coming weeks some of you have already started moaning about Mage and Hunter.
FOR FUCKS SAKE....

Edit: No. Freaking. Big. Priest. Nerf.
Finally.
I will disenchant all stocked copies of the cursed Preparation with a evil smile in my face. :P
I knew I shouuld have stuck to my gut feeling and kept that golden raiding party around...just felt so safe to disenchant after Kingsbane disappeared.
Also, it REALLY hurts not having the foresight of keeping Miscreants.
welcome our new Hunter overlords I guess...also Warriors..lots of them
I tried having fun once. It was awful.
GG Rogue, it's that time again lol the nerf hammer has been dropped.
Warrior and Hunter to rule the meta next?
would someone be nice and post changes here please? can't reach that other page for some reason.
Meh, again no Wild change.
Back to Even Shaman for climbing and Miracle Mage for fun, i guess.
I'm just not sure i can take such a narrow viability for much longer...

Evil Miscreant from 5 to 4 health
Prep from reduction by 3 to 2
Raiding party cost from 3 to 4
Archiwist Elysiana mana from 8 to 9
Hahaha, nice nerfs lol, they nerfed 3 ( THREE ) rogue cards, not a single warrior or mage card, so funny
Dr. Boom hero power should be nerfed.
5 armor and a random mech.

I'm sure there were better candidates for nerfs other than Prep but whatever.
Is Archivist Elysiana for 9 a joke? Control Warrior mirror matches will be like: you don't have Coin, you can concede
what?,nerfing 3 rogue cards and not nerfing conjurers and boom Well played Blizzard,are you fockin shittin me?? mage will break the game
There will be new decks. That's the best thing about this.
I'm sure someone in Blizzard will lose his job soon btw
