Called it; BSM free deck is still at near top across all decks. Astalor inclusion helps across variety matchups whereas the core remains viable; Astalor is for those games where belinda gets silenced/destroyed in Priest, Warrior, and Blood DK games. Honestly the tempo & mana cheating option (I say option because you may want a 9 cost rune over the spell swap cost because of Parrot) It's literally the most enjoyable deck to play because you're tempo and making decisions that define your game; it's not play x, xx, and xxx to win.
DK & Mage nerfs don't seem deck breaking since they're hitting supportive cards over wincon/strategy. Should still see high playrates and win.
What? Frost Aggro and Unholy Aggro DK are built ENTIRELY around Construct Quarter. Mage is a lot harder to gauge due to how it's transparently a Wild nerf for a card at the end of its time in Standard, but Grey Sage Parrot is a win condition BSM often plays to.
Unholy is still about pace, with or without Construct it's still strong just not perfect. I imagine with the other changes and no other aggro decks being oppressive it'll remain strong.
I played a lot of BSM and 90% of the time if Parrot was my last way to win it'd be a loss. That's a very unreliable hail mary that shouldn't effect much in BSM. It's not like it was played before turn 8 often. The core of it remains, still have astalor if big damage or mordesh fail.
