Poll: Is this a good change? ... No > 27.9%

Currently 27.9% of Kingsbane players.

Good change. I might actually craft Kingsbane now. It's no fun playing out a long game knowing you'll lose because the rogue has finished setting up. Without the lifesteal, there are more ways to win in more decks. Both players need to play smarter.

Yeah sergeant and prelate is a good idea but make sure the prelate dies with sergeant's buff for more clarity.

Agreed. I just crafted both Doomerangs after having Kingsbane since KnC. I have also been collecting weapon buff cards in wild this whole time, only now to see my this deck get completely nerfed. *Sigh* Blizzard, please nerf your cards as soon as they're recognized as an issue, not until after I collect all the cards you'd put in a deck with it.

The world doesn't revolve around you, bro, neither Blizzard's decisions.

It says, "Give your weapon lifesteal THIS TURN."  Based on how Saronite Chain Gang + Shudderwock currently works, I wouldn't be surprised if Kingsbane kept the lifesteal for the turn it's played.  SCG says "this minion" and refers to the minion when played.  Shudderwock retains the "this minion" as itself and not the Chain Gang from which the Battlecry is taken.  

I'd rather have it changed to "on kill heal 3" or something, but hey this is better than that abomination it used to be

Hilarious!

The only good nerf alongside the paladin one.

They should make blade flurry synergize with leeching posion at least to cover up for the nerf... It seems ok, but it has to be shown if KB now is playable or simply dead...

I have 9+ copies of leeching poison... at least some kind of positive outcome

Now it's time for priest and his res-mechanix plus barnes to get nerfed I guess...

Good nerf!  There is now a reason to run Spectral Cutlass.  

 Exactly my thoughts! I was beating Big Priest with Cutlass two expansions ago. It can get out of control just as much but at least is a fair card.

I vote good nerf as someone who crafted golden kingsbane but hasn’t abused this absurd deck. I was really worried that Kingsbane would get nerfed but this is much better.

I'm so happy - screw all kingsbane players as much as possible <3

 The game does revolve around its players, though. I Imagine there are a bunch of frustrated players after every major nerf, especially this one. Blizzard needs to change its policy and stop nerfing cards with such weird timings. I mean, all of these nerfs were discussed among the community even a year ago.

i don't imagine kingsbane gets lifesteal the first time you equip it after you leeching it once, since it loses the enchantment after a turn. it probably works the same way as abusive sergeant does with immortal prelate (it doesn't)

 hot take: you play kingsbane so it doesn't matter what you think.

And I suppose we don't get the thousands of dust refunded that went into crafting the missing pieces of this deck this expansion? Thank you very many.
