Why am not getting full dust for nerfed craftable cards??

Is there already a specific time known when the nerfs go live?
I dont know is there any official info, but i personally predict today's evening (EU).
They usually do these things on tuesday. I haven't found an official time or date though.

Congrats Blizz.
You butchered one of the greatest interactions in Hearthstone. Par the course.
Luckily, I managed to get to legend with my own version of Mecha'thun deck before the nerf hits Bloodbloom and Sacrificial Pact.
Kael'thas Sunstrider nerf will not change much though.
What deck where you using? Is it posted?
You said buffs, but I see only one buff.
Both copies are buffed
Altruis getting 4 attack can technically be considered a buff.
don't know after all 1 mana more Is 1 less damage aoe
They can fix the fact that you can't reach 500 wins with Demon Hunter too...
It's stuck at 499
Congratulations on having no life ;].
Secret mage need to be nerfed a little but I don’t think this deck should be killed either. The only problem I have is Explosive Runes because of how well it split the damage you either lose 5-drop or 2-drop and take 4 damage. Might slow it down a lilttle
made a video on my view on the changes. Let me know what you guys think.

So they killed the Sacrificial Pact and gave a gentle pat on the back of the trully problematic cards.
