Construct quarter will be 4, it will still be amazingly good and need a second nerf. The nerf will be gnoll to 11 so gnoll discovers gnoll. Your suggested nerf would require much more reprogramming.
So 2.5 standard nerfs and 3 wild nerfs. It makes you wonder why it took this long? Construct quarter needed adjustment as soon as it was announced and gnoll should have been 11 as soon as blazing transmutation was announced.
It was different with priest because neptulon was in the deck, but if you drew it, the scam stopped. Think Barnes priest scam. It went turn 1 illuminate, discover shadow essence, discount it to 2. Turn 2 draw shadow essence and play it for 2, it makes a 5/5 neptulon that can be resurrected. You don’t discover a copy or evolve a copy, it’s a copy from deck which is the priest scam since Barnes and Yshaarj.
The most popular decks after the expansion are evolve shaman and unholy DK. Blood DK beats both of them handily. It loses badly to phylactery warlock though. People are playing blood DK because it’s actually good, it’s the scissors to shaman’s paper and phylactery warlock’s rock
They have “new” mercs content on “sale” for me right now. It’s ok if they want to stop support for mercs, but selling content while discontinuing support is a really bad look.
You’re exactly right, even a mana nerf to gnolls would be a nerf to maestra. The function nerf to gnolls kills them and makes maestra completely useless. There needs to be dust for maestra, she got the heaviest nerf today.
Eternal summoner sucks now. Better off running eternal knights. Anub arak still is good, sister deathwhisper is still good, just not broken. Putricide got a huge nerf though, making eternal summoner with reborn was the best strategy. It remains to be seen if the bone baron with reborn can generate enough golden skeletons to compensate.
Consider yourself lucky it wasn’t a signature legendary that you wouldn’t get a refund for. Astalor will likely still be playable and if not, you just got 2 legendaries of your choice.
0 cost cards are fine for the game. Shadowstep on the other hand has been a problem since beta, when you could play two leeroys for 6 mana. Final showdown is also just weird, a mass cost reduction as a reward for drawing cards seems like there isn’t a downside.
This is pure rose colored glasses. Returning to principles is crap, it was similar then and now. Even back in beta you could shadowstep leeroy for 12 damage from hand, add cold blood and you had 20 damage. Mana reduction has always been a part of the game, mech warper and free mechs were very strong in GvG. Banning resurrect? Handbuff? Evolve is banned for manacheating but not runed mithril rod? Harpoon gun is ok, even though a 5-mana hydralodon just ends the game? This is all ridiculous and OP is nostalgic for a version of this game that never existed. I sure as hell don’t want to play chillwind yeti meta hearthstone.

Don’t you just love it when Druid gets class cards as neutrals?

Destroyed is not died. Only minions on the board can die. A card in your deck can’t die unless it’s played.

Wild is always bitter, those tears stain the pages of history.

Just make gnoll cost 11 so it only evolves into itself. Simple solution.
