We have updated the functionality of the Rogue quest reward Crystal Core in order to address some inconsistencies. This new functionality also applies to Dark Pharaoh Tekahn’s Battlecry effect.
After Crystal Core is played, the base copies of your minions will now have 4/4 stats. The stat numbers will appear as white, instead of the green text indicating a buff. This means that if your opponent steals or silences your minion, it will remain as a 4/4.
Additionally, minions currently in play will receive a onetime effect that sets their stats to 4/4, overriding current enchantments and clearing damage.
Some interactions will change under this new functionality. Cards that create a copy of a minion with specifically stated stats (Sonya Shadowdancer, Prince Taldaram, Barnes, etc) will now work as written on the card text. For example, the minion summoned by Barnes will be a 1/1, instead of a 4/4.
So if I understand correctly Sonya will give 1 mana 1/1 copy not 1 mana 4/4 copy.
This was the nerf we needed when Quest was still in standard, it sees no play in Wild.
No, its just same as before but the only change they are unscilenceable, dont freak out
Nope. Sonya gives 1/1 instead of 4/4 into your hand after the Quest Reward.
If you don't understand what the nerf was M7sn113 please don't spread misinformation for no reason. It's confusing enough even without people spreading blatent ignorance like yourself.

If you thought you knew what you think I know, then you'd know I knew you knew I know.
Wow, that is actually a HUGE nerf to Big Priest. Basically means that you can't cheat out Ragnaros or The Lich King with Barnes or Shadow Essence and have it brought back with full stats...

That is not at all what I'm getting when I read the patch notes.
It's Crystal Core that changes the base stats in an unsilenceable way. The difference where Barnes is concerned is that he no longer makes 4/4 minions when Crystal Core is active.
I don't seen anything indicating an interaction between Barnes and resurrect effects.
In the past month I've played against Quest Rogue 1 time. No one plays it. It's not a good quest since all of the nerfs. Way to slow and easily beaten with how wild is now.
Yes, this change certainly has a huge effect - especially when you take the Stonetusk Boar and Deckhand interactions that Sonya used to give and no longer does.
I wonder if this is the final nail in the coffin for the original Quest Rogue now?
From the latest patch notes:

I've just crafted it recently. This nerf HURTS...

Hell then the interaction of Dollmaster Dorian + Plot Twist with Dark Pharaoh Tekahn active will not work
Thanks Blizzard for ruining my fun, stupid rogue Quest

No, now you can't mass trade with boars and stuff using sonya cause they'll be 1/1s
let's face it that never should have been a thing
They really should have given some dust for this.
What a dumb, useless fkin nerf
