More Reverted Nerfs Announced - Paladin, Priest & Rogue
A selection of Nerfed cards will see their nerfs reverted later this month and before Forged in the Barrens goes live. Blizzard announced the cards for Paladin, Priest and Rogue this time.
The Changes:
- Call to Arms Now costs 4 Mana again.
- Power Word: Shield Now also draws 1 card again, and costs 1 Mana.
- Blade Flurry Now a 2 mana card again, but still can't hit face.
- The Caverns Below Now 4 minions to complete and produces 5/5's after again.
- Necrium Apothecary Now costs 4 Mana again.
- Galakrond, the Nightmare Cards drawn now cost 0 Mana again.
- Edwin VanCleef Now costs 3 Mana again.
Quote from Alec Dawson20.0 nerf reverts. Paladin, Priest, and Rogue.
Paladin:
Call to Arms (4 mana)
Priest:
Power Word: Shield (1 mana, draws a card)
Rogue:
Blade Flurry (2 mana, no face dmg)
Caverns Below (4 minions, 5/5 stats)
Necrium Apothecary (4 mana)
Galakrond (cards cost 0)
Edwin (3 mana)
Nope Alec stated that it is coming this month, probably 23th but we still have no new cards shown. This is really unprofessional and bad rep for blizzard. We don't know more than half of the cards and there is less than 2 weeks to expansion.
Pre-orders just a way to secure exclusive cosmetics and early pack openings.
So wild = more rogue gaming?
They certainly seem intent on turning the Wild Meta on its ear, lol.
None of this cards are staying in Standard, they are either rotating right now or already in Wild.
Appreciate it
Sorry in advance for stupid question but are these reverts and the cards sticking around post expansion in standard? Or going to wild only?
Most of these are for cards that are going to wild. The changes are going live before Barrens comes out, though, so there's going to be a brief period where these cards are unnerfed and standard-playable.
Appreciate it
Rogue's quest 4 cards and 5/5?
zero doubt a game breaking move.
this is just too much buff
yes Baor and Sonia Nerfed but the Pirate guy still a card, and Passage and Swindle, Plunderer wtf
Pen flinger quest rogue
It will more than likely be nerfed because of Duels, because there is no reliable way to counter it with the card pool for Un'goro. Not to mention that one of the Hero Powers that Rogue craps out a 1/1 token. It will more than likely see yet another nerf.
Most of all quest just will be the banned card on duels
I expect even paladin to become a deck in wild
Flurry still no dome? That's reassuring. Would be huge if it was original version, tbh. Flurry really didn't need to get massacred as much as it did originally.
Nice to see PW:S back. Caverns will probably depend on what they do with charge minions - if they do change their plans and give us original variants as well as the rush ones, it could be a huge impact on the meta. If they don't, I don't see it impacting too much. Last I heard they were discussing it again due to community worries.
Yes it is. I find odd pali rocking right now. Up to Diamond 3 with it so far this month.
These rogue reverts (besides the quest) make me so happy. Dragon rogue and big rogue definitely more viable in wild again with apothecary back at 4 mana, and galakrond getting 0 cost cards makes it an interesting option for combo decks again.
Even pally incoming!!!
Not to mention even pally is also getting a new toy in the core set which buffs recruits attack permanently
Ooh baby stop I cant hold it anymore
