What happens if cards in my Battle-Ready Deck are nerfed?
We always do our best to plan around potential balance changes. As such, we’re not expecting to nerf any of the cards offered in Battle-Ready Decks at this time, but we will extend the usual full dust refund to any eligible impacted cards if it happens.

That's a blank statement promising no nerfs to the battle ready decks but taking no liability if they do happen. Why do you think, for the first time ever, nobody knows the nerfs until the patch arrives? The Paladin ready deck has 2 Crabriders in it. And we know that a neutral murloc is getting nerfed. You think they're nerfing Prize Vendor instead? Either Oh My Yogg! or Hand of A'dal might also get the nerf, they're also present in the list. Mankrik is also in a good portion of those decks. I know we got it for free, but if it happens to get nerfed (and it looks like one of the more problematic Neutrals), maybe some of those decks will be impacted negatively. So if anything, this statement and behaviour from Blizz makes them sus.
My god, I'm so stupid. This entire time I have been trying to figure out why they have been so coy about nerf/buff targets and I knew it wasn't because of some benevolent 'surprise' factor but I couldn't figure out the angle.
The answer was right in front of my face the entire time; "what is different about this situation than every other balance change?...premade packs for purchase!".
Hysteria getting bumped to 4 mana seems to make plenty of sense. For the longest time I thought this card was perfectly acceptable but 3 mana for (mostly) consistent board clears is way too cheap and reliable.
EDIT: and Hysteria Now reads: Choose a minion, it attacks all other minions or make it a 1 mana card that reads: choose a minion, it attacks another random minions.
Great call on Knight of Anointment. I think this is one of the only fair ways to nerf secret paly without totally killing the deck.
There is far too much consistency and linearity with the class at the moment to the point where you can just smash your face against the keyboard during mulligan and there is a 95% chance it won't matter.
Mage needs a nerf, but you also need to touch priest if you are nerfing one of its few counters
Hysteria and Illucia needs to go
There is literally nothing wrong with Illucia. If anything could be considered problematic for Priest - and I really don't think there is - it would be the 3 mana Scorpion and the ability to resummon over and over through Raise Dead.
The scorpid is far less of a threat than Sethekk Veilweaver, and I don't think they are going to nerf that.
oh Jesus yeah...I don't know why I didn't think of that card.

Lol, why are people such babies about Piercing Shot? The card is fine as is; it's powerful but I wouldn't call it OP or problematic.
