I honestly prefer no face than 3 mana. 3 mana 1 damage sucks ass
dmg only minions mb
Great adjustments—on the surface. Hopefully they bring some positive change. Cannot believe that Questline Lock dodges it again… The evergreen, omnipotent, ‘pain’-in-my-ass, meta-dominant ball-ache of a deck.
Super excited to see Conniving Conman and Lamplighter on that chopping block list! I agree with almost everything on the nerf list but those two specifically are offensive to mine eyes.
I am a tiny bit bummed about Reska, the Pit Boss, but that'll totally depend on the nature of the nerf to him (like, an additional 5 cost added is tolerable). It'd be hilarious if they buffed his health so it was more awkward to bounce him into smaller targets to steal larger targets, lolol!
5 added cost is basically negligible
Hoping for something like cannot cost less than 5. Stop 0 mana reshka reborn bullsit
The other options would gut the card. If you take away Rush, it becomes a glorified Sylvanas.
It COULD be changed to "friendly minion died", and that'd be in line for the card's flavor, but then the cost would have to go down to 15 or so. That'd honestly be fair.
bro how reno geting murdered always , dont uderstand turn 10 in this game ? ye sure and quick decks that doesnt win till then crying jesus , only reason is it removes starship if not it will not be nerfed but it is new "amazing" mechanic so blizzard have to do something right, developers and balance team have 0 brain cells when creating cards
on the other hand starships are made so you launch it turn 8 with exodar i would say now it geting buffed probably to 7 but reno at 10 is problem :D
Out of the 14 buffs, 8 of them directly impact starship rogue. It will be perhaps the most buffed deck of all time.
What do you even do to Reno? If you stop him from limiting board space, the card loses half its functionality. If he still limits board space but only removes minions, now he can fully board-lock enemies and it's arguably a buff. He's already 10 mana. Reducing the amount he limits board space removes the "one on one standoff" thing. My best guess is remove board limit but significantly reduce mana cost, but that feels kinda un-extravagant for the primary highlander payoff.
It's problably poof minions only.
I honestly don't know what is left for Reno to nerf. But, I know one thing for sure, even if its changed to "destroy all enemy minions" people still would complain about it.
Is this the first time ever that we got a patch that is aiming to hit multiple issue decks ? this looks very promising.
