this is a good time to be alive!
Wow, just wow. These are very significant buffs. I think Blizzard is trying to push for a lot more mechs.
"We don't want to put Echo on Witch's Brew, as we don't want to confuse new players. We also like to keep cards consistent for returning players."
I month, and a whole lot of cocaine, later:
"Heres a bunch of buffs to cards from a year ago. Also, how about a free legendary from three sets ago, with a keyword inconsistent with it's own set!"
PS: Delivery Drone and Omega Assembly just got more stupid.
They finally got the data they were looking for.
I love it!
I hope they won't stop there, though. Why only BDP? WW and RR have some real shit cards, too (the 3/7 druid legendary minion that gives your opponent a free win?)
moreso: please be nice to new players and buff unplayable basic cards, too! silverback? booty bay? magma rager???
we need magma rager for the memes, do not change magma rager ever!
Year of the Dragon is truly revolutionary! Early Hall of Fame, dialed down power level, cool solo adventure story, and now buffs. This is fuckin cool. But one question remains.
Where's My Gonk Buff? This Raptor want his Raptor to be viable.
Is this a joke? HOLY FUCKNUGGETS!!!
They're actually buffing cards? Am I dreaming?
6 mana Morrigan?!! 5 mana Galaxy??!! 4 Necromechanic!? 5 mana Glowstone?!
And a free golden mech legendary that's good???!!!
What. Is. Happening???!!!!
Damn, I dusted an luna pocket galaxy a while ago because it was too slow at 7 mana, also some unexpected results (even 1 golden) because of the same reason and now they look much more viable. Pretty good changes so far, I think they over did it with crystology (no complains I LOVE that card and that was even before the buff) but everything else seems solid. It would be cool if they added a chance to craft them at half cost if you had those cards before. That way you still lose some dust but it wouldn't punish so hard those that dusted the previous version of the cards.
Can we please recognize the amazing action this represents?
Kudos for the team!
Buffs cards will be full dust value refund?
Haha.. I doubt it.. Because it's a buff.. Imagine if someone who craft it and get a buff "plus" a refund. They will be hype.. LOL
Nevertheless... I expect a refund too LOL... Cheers..
Lol that'd be funny.
Well of course, as always, priest received a mild buff.... Is not his time yet again....
Reckless Experimenter SN1P-SN4P 2 turn kill is possible for priest...
o that combo can be so epic, even on wild, you just need a mech to stay on board.
I got laughed at, when i suggested to buff weak/unplayable cards.
Look who's laughing now.
Are we supposed to ignore the dislikes when considering your rhetorical statement? If not, I have bad news...
Having 8 dislikes on this comment makes it so funny
No need to be rude...
