October Card Nerfs Are Now Live!
The Hearthstone patch with this month's set of balance changes is now live. Three beloved cards have received cost increases and can now be disenchanted for their full value for the next two weeks.
- [Discuss this Change] Giggling Inventor now costs 7, up from 5.
- [Discuss this Change] Mana Wyrm now costs 2, up from 1.
- [Discuss this Change] Aviana now costs 10, up from 9.
We'll have the card changes updated in our database shortly.
So why do you care? Also, is your google broken Mr. lazy?
Oh my God... the kids are pissed. What happened baby? Did I offend you with my question?
You asked people to do a bunch of work typing to you when you could google a meta snapshot in five seconds. Don't be lazy and you won't get roasted for it.
Yea you guys really "roasted" him, huh. That was a defeat beyond redress. How will he ever recover? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey, another terrible minion for the 7-cost minion pool of Spiteful Summoner. I know you are not supposed to use spells that cost less than 8 mana, but i was just thinking about someone's reaction when they are expecting to summon something like a Swamp King Dred out of Spiteful but instead they get a "Ha ha ha! Hello!". That would be hilarious!
But you wouldn't get annoy-o-tron. You just get the 2/1 Giggling inventor. So no.
I miss Valuetown.
GI nerf is too much, isn't it? I think they might completly killed it off. 6 mana made more sense.
Even Paladin
Even Frogman
Well then they shot themselves in the foot by designing the Odd and Even mechanic in the first place. If a card is good and they can't nerf it by just one mana because then it overcharges another archetype that couldn't use it before and they have to overnerf it by two mana just to get it out of the way of both Odd and Even decks, then they screwed up. I think the more likely problem here is that if Even Paladin or Even Warlock or Even Shaman would dominate with Giggling Inventor at 6 mana, then 6 mana is still too little to pay for the card. It does too much for too little even at 6 just like Spreading Plague does (Plague used to be 5!!! mana too and it's still too strong at 6).
Not sure why everyone is so closed minded at Blizzard at this point to think that Mana is the only mechanic that can be used to adjust a card. In the past, they have made other modifications. Some of those made cards unplayable, however there is at least an opportunity to adjust it outside of straight up mana cost adjustment. As it stands with Odd / Even, that will prove to be difficult.
They could have adjusted to modify the summoning capabilities of GI to not be exclusive to Annoy-A-Trons. It is listed as an inventor, so could be a bit more randomized to summon random mech's or something along those lines? That or have it summon two Mecharoo's. While not as valuable as the previous design, it still could then be kept at 5-Mana? Just trying to think outside of the box a bit, as right now it is a dead card mostly. Realizing that all cards in an expansion are not going to be potentially playable, this just adds another to the list for this Xpac.
Where the hell is the update with 4 new classic cards and twitch cheer cardback?
Just got golden Giggling Inventor yesterday from a pack, ez 800 dust.
Looking forward to play one of all the classes HS have to offer :) Druid, Hunter, Paladin, Warlock, Warrior, Shaman and Rogue!
I wonder if some new players - who never played with Aviana or not even heard of her - tried to search for her in their Standard collection lol.
They are not live on EU!....
Yes they are.
