So Groovy Cat says "Your Hero Power gives your hero 1 more Attack this game".
Artanis states "Give a friendly minion and your hero +1 Attack this turn and Divine Shield."
Why does this double dip? Both the minion and the hero get the buff from Groovy Cat. The hero power states "Give a friendly minion and your hero +1 Attack this turn and Divine Shield." . There's no reason to think that the minion should get buffed too. Groovy Cat specifically states "your hero". If the hero power were something like "give a mininon attack equal to your hero" I could see why it works, but to me the way this is currently functioning is incorrect and possibly a bug.
They just updated Cat's interaction with the hero power in the server side patch yesterday. So while I agree it doesn't make sense, I feel like this is what they wanted it to be. If that's the case, they should change Groovy Cat's wording to just say that your hero power gives +1 attack the rest of the game.
If Groovy Cat didnt originally increase the "hero" part of the Protoss hero power the the update makes sense, but imo it absolutely shouldn't add to the buff for the minion (as it's written) and I really hope it's a bug.
It's just stupid with Sing-Along Buddy andn Popular Pixie and you end up with a situation where if you leave 1 minion alive on the board you die.
The fact they can tutor Groovy Cat also makes it somewhat consistent.

until then Hero Power Druid will be meta viable.
