I dont care about the nerfs. The only thing I care is what are the buffs to a fun archetype: Rainbow DK? Please make it work!!!
They're probably just removing some rune requirements off the legendaries and making corpse bride 1 mana less.
nerfing Pyrotechnician just because Dane showed us how to make it wild lol
Could be for future cards coming out so it doesn't get abused even more. And I believe WOWHobbs abused it before Dane did.
Can't believe they're buffing the strongest card in the game (Horseshoe Slinger) what has this game come to SMH
Also DADDY DRAKKY IS BACK YEAH BABY LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still think highlander druid is stronger. But hey we can disagree and still be friends.
Arcane Wyrm nerf is kinda surprising. Maybe it goes to 2 mana.
I wish they stop announcing the announcements.
I'd like to see an Odyn or the armor gaining spells nerf(s) also.
This is probably the most balanced archetype in standard right now , not to mention the most predictable , play spells that clear board and gather armor cards to finish the game if you don't draw odyn in time you lose if you , what's there to nerf ?
nerfing the Halli'dae's during the holidays smh
Dat's da wae! (Also Tae'Thelan.)
so instead of buffing shaman, they manage to nerf him, what a classic, the class is already unplayable
Because Highlander Shaman is one of the strongest decks (and strongest Reno deck), and is poised to be overbearing if Paladin is nerfed back into line.
Sure and what about buffing the unplayable elemental archetype since everyone else is getting buffed? Unperceived!!
Just because you can't play it it doesn't make it unplayable
You are right. I’m sorry. It is indeed literally dominating the meta. I have probably faced 20 in a row today and they all owned me…
"Playable" and "dominating the meta" are two different things.
Also probably the main archetype two expacs down the road...
