That's for nerfs. These are buffs (in all but some very fringe cases).
since these are buffs, and are considered "positive" changes....not likely to get a refund
I'm happy that i never dusted Dr. Morrigan
Pretty sure that card sucks at 1 mama. But what do I know?
1 mana 5/5? with less mana than Millhouse? i'd say it'll def be good :p
Maybe, but i'll try it
It's super cool the fact that from now on we can hope for buffs. And many of those are good buffs that can totally shake up the meta. I just wonder why specifically only Boomsday cards.
Inbefore the buff did nothing to shake up the meta...
I've been through many other card game that buffs their cards and they either don't do jack or just join previously existing decks.
They're going to only shake up arena. That's fine, but I can't expect those cards to shake up constructed, especially how the buffed card inithe same class don't generally share a deck.
Dunno what card games you're playing. I have played Eternal for a long time, and they do fairly frequent buffs. And it always shakes up the meta. Every time.
I'm really considering crafting Dr. Boom, Mad Genius now...
Now?
What a great way to stir the pot. Every single expansion since the start of HS has had a large batch of unplayed cards just because of their poor stat line. It must kinda suck from the dev’s perspective to see all those cards never be played (of just marginally), up until the point they rotate out.
With a change like this, they shake up the meta and potentially push the creation of new archetypes. Here’s hoping!
I just love all these buffs (more reasons to play Dr. Morrigan and Luna's Pocket Galaxy) except for Pogo-Hopper which, imho, is going to become somewhat like Jade Idol
Crystology on 1 is the card I think is going to bring paladin back , maybe even stronger
Holomancer and Harbinger Celestia sit crying in the corner
Some cards are beyond redemption.
Looks like they only buffed class cards.
Maybe in the future they will also buff neutral cards.
I never even knew that holomancer existed : /
Lordy lou, thems some spicy meatballs. And dem buffs, they the spiciest of dem all. Its a crazy time in this here hearthstone.
cool!
