Everyone is panicking about Cubelock, but there are 2 decks that counter that deck hard( kingsbane millrouge, questmage), so the meta will also consist of them and their counters too, so I wont be too worried.

I think the raza nerf is actually the biggest. Bonemare is the smallest. Patches and creeper are pretty big but I think they could still see niche play, whereas it's very possible raza sees none at all, which is a shame. Raza HAD to be so strong to make reno priest even remotely viable and he didn't even really manage that pre-dk, as priest was still the worst kabal/reno deck, so I think this nerf is a much bigger deal than some people seem to think

Alphabetically -
Bonemare was hit pretty heavily, as very few cards have ever survived a 1-mana increase. Call of the Wild was the last late-game card to receive a mana nerf - it went from dominating the meta-game to being unplayable. If Bonemare continues to see play, I'd guess it would only be in Midrange decks - Tempo decks currently abuse the card, but it loses about 15% of its mana-efficiency with the nerf, and an 8-mana card likely needs to simply win the game when played in order for it to find room in a Tempo list. In the olden pre-Naxx days, I recall Ragnaros making the cut in some Tempo lists, but I can't recall any other 8-mana cards ever making the cut. FWIW - I'm guessing the card will die a slow death over the next two months.
Corridor Creeper was the hardest hit of the four cards. A vanilla 2/5 is a bad 3-mana card, so it really only gains value at 0 to 2-mana. According to HSReplays, the average cost of CC is about 4-mana, so the nerfed version of the card simply won't consistently gain anything like enough value to see play.
Patches will likely continue to see play in Wild Pirate Warrior, given the presence of Ship's Cannon. It seems dead in Standard, as its main role as a free removal spell which protected the early game snowballing of the rest of the deck has been completely neutered.
Raza will continue to see play in Wild, but Reno Priest will just be "another deck" among the two dozen or so viable decks in the format - and Reno builds that don't rely on burst damage from Anduin, like Reno Quest Priest, will likely see more play. In Standard, the deck has frankly had a higher play-rate than its win-rate could justify - despite community memes to the contrary, Razakus is actually a fairly difficult deck to pilot. It will become significantly more difficult for the next two months, though it might continue to see some tournament play.
Meh. I had a Shadowform/Inspire deck back then too and it actually became a lot more inconsistent when I made it a highlander deck. Part of what made the deck function was in the few instances where I was able to get to get Shadowform to proc multiple times in a single turn, even if it happened only once in the game. Dealing a surprise 2 or 3 extra damage (Garrison Commander or 2nd Shadowform, respectively) was huge in a surprising number of games whereas TGT already had ways to reduce the cost of HP.
well i feel that Patches is still ok in tempo rogue if not drawn. 1 mana 2/2 or 3/3 pulled out for free is still not that bad (have to consider that it still thins out your deck).
As for Creeper i only found use for it in evolve shaman as it can still be a free 7 cost minion that can be evolved into good 8 cost minions and more.
Bonemare is still fine considering its late game value
as for Raza, i think it was a good nerf as now priest cannot just burst you down in one turn.
this is my opinion.
I'm seeing zero Patches. Even Aggro Paladin isn't running it.
I'm seeing some Corridor Creeper. It works in Evolve Shaman still.
