Quick comment:
The other buffs are either insignificant (Violet Haze) or interesting, but I can't think of any busted synergies (Spirit Bomb, Extra Arms). I'm interested in using the warlock spell in the future, because it offers a really cheap answer to 4-health minions, but warlock needs to get more healing tools to afford running it.
No buff to Duskfallen Aviana seems strange...Maybe I'll actually make use of Morrigan though.
All cards are from Boomsday set.
They buffed boomsday exclusively
Ah yes.
Love the changes and free card. Echo on a non-Witchwood card is odd. The game desperately needs consistent wording.
Don't be too happy, this legendary has echo because it will rotate out with Year of the Raven. If it was an Year of the Dragon card it would have "repeatable this turn".
nurfs , BUFFS AND EVEN GOLDEN LEGENDARY .
yea seems fair
thx Blizzard ;)
This is incredibly encouraging! Card buffs have the potential to impact the meta just as much as nerfs - and a new free legendary! Great job, Blizz. I don't even think the general Hearthpwn community can find too much to bitch about here (although I'm sure I'll be proven wrong).
NEVER under estimate the ability of the Hearthpwn community to bitch....
I never expected to see buffs in my life. Buffing trash tier cards is a good thing IMO
You're getting a free gold addition to your all-gold rig. I don't see a problem here.
I never thought I would live to see this day
SN1P-SN4P is definitely have an impact on the meta, since Hunters can basically have 3 of them with Nine Lives and Fireworks Tech allows even more board refills. Of course the Echo keyword is huge to make this card relevant in every stage of the game.
We can have nice things after all!
Necheomecanic looks op now.
Turn 9 Boommaster flark. Turn 10 2x Nechromechanic and a direwolf alpha for 16 damage. Seems legit
also the new legendary in wild with Galvanizer and Mechwarper is broken. Play the 4/4 stealth mech and next turn 2x galvanizer and mechwarper and you have infinite damage with the echi effect
Only the first copy will be discounted. You would need 3 mechwarpers to go infinite.
OMFG, Blizz making BUFFS?!? Shit got real, end of the world - confirmed.
P.S. Buffs a bunch of cards to improve balance. Releases SN1P-SN4P. Blizzard logic.
will we get full dust value from disenchant? technically all of these ''recently changed'' LUL
And what, Blizzard, must we give in return?
