I feel like spiteful decks were barely playable when it was 6 mana. Sure, a turn 6 12/12 could instantly lose you the game, but 90% of the time, their lack of spells would easily win me the game. Anyways, the chances of them getting spiteful by turn 6 weren't very high anyways, and the increased value spike was usually easily overturned with my own spells. Honestly, spiteful has a much lower winrate than the criticism advocates, and a 7 mana nerf will probably make it completely inferior.
