Because the Boomsday Project and, to some degree, Rumble were both totally overshadowed by Genn/Baku. Mechs were supposed to be a viable thing and, other than Ziliax and Dyn-O-Matic, weren't showing up regularly. That's 2 of 41 minions from what was supposed to be a regular theme last year and this year. Of course, they did almost no follow-up on Mechs in Rumble, which is why they said that this year the expansions are supposed to be more coherent. They're just trying to get people to engage with the more unusual ideas from Boomsday (Gloop Sprayer, Luna's, Flark's) or use the cards that were supposed to be really good (Crystology, Extra Arms, Thunderhead.)
i don't understand the thunderhead buff though, the card is actually decent nd playable, now it will be everywhere
Rogue got some buffs as well. Pogo-Hopper Rogues are trying to be more viable by making the card 1 mana.
It's like first buffs in 5 years.
I was mad for nerfing prep, but now I'm very content.
Now I'm waiting for Illidan buff :)
Yes Illidan Stormrage deserve a buff .
Well i am happy about some cards but nullifier from boom hero power +1atack not targeted ... I think more silence and maybe EMP operative meta will come
Is this Aprif Fool joke od something? Free golden legendarny and 18 boofs?
I don't know why, but this comment made me laugh! xD
Love this new direction and the slaying of sacred cows like the idiotic no-buff policy. It will certainly shake up the meta majorly.
Well, with that new mech legendary, wild aggro mech hunter will be more cancerious smh
For a buff? Doubt that.
They still make me feeling hard to put Pogo in my Even Rogue deck so I should have get dust :v...
Will there be a full dust refund for buffed cards?
No, since they are being buffed, you have to pay dust to use them. Kappa
Can i disenchant cards that get buffed for full value still plz? :)
I am baffled.
And vaguely excited.
Now OddPaladin have Crystology :(
Players: Dr. Boom, Mad Genius needs nerfing.
Blizzard: Let's buff Dr. Boom, Mad Genius by buffing mechs.
Remember Ben Brode? Hahahaha thank god he's gone
