Reverted Nerfs Announced - Neutrals
A selection of Nerfed cards will see their nerfs reverted later this month and before Forged in the Barrens goes live. Blizzard announced the Neutral cards this time.
The Changes:
- Undertaker Now gains +1/+1 again.
- Arcane Golem Now has a 4/2 statline and the Keyword Charge again.
- Leper Gnome Now has a 2/1 statline again.
- Knife Juggler Now has a 3/2 statline again.
- Bonemare Now costs 7 Mana again.
- Saronite Chain Gang Now summons a copy again.
- Archivist Elysiana Now costs 8 Mana again.
- Dragonqueen Alexstrasza Now generates 0 Cost Dragons again, but still can't generate herself.
- Bad Luck Albatross Now costs 3 Mana again.
- Frenzied Felwing Now has a 3/3 statline again.

Undertaker has very bad memories associated with it for most people. And qute rightly - it was a scourge. Now? We'll see how it holds up with all this powercreep :)
how about nerf the blizzard greed? its getting too op. "oh you got gold ranked? there you go 10 cards with 9 duplicates" great rewards amrite guyz?
Wut?
NAXX IS OUT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I REPEAT, NAXX IS OUT!!!
but for odd warrior elysiana is nerfed wtf i want a refund
Weren't they trying to stop infinite shutterwok with the chaingang nerf?
Yep, but Shudderwock since rotated out, and it hasn't really been Wild-viable.
It had a card there already it could use for infinite.
Yeah, by the time you set it up you're long dead.
BRING OUT YOUR DEAD
First berf leaked aswell, Nitroboost Poison costing 2 mana in the update for deck recipes
Only odd warrior play Archivist Elysiana . The card is dead now.
Undertaker?? Oh, wow. And people thought the caverns un-nerf was bold! The real question is what percentage of decks have a 2-mana answer for a 2/3 undertaker, and has that significantly changed since Naxx days? I was not expecting that unnerf, and I'm not 100% sure it's safe, but we'll see :)
Big difference is that the early deathrattles aren't all that exciting now, whereas in the era of Undertaker they were absolute top tier minions
it was never in meta XD
It wasn’t in the meta because galakrond was nerfed and Alexstrasza was nerfed.... they are both being unnerfed. And yes, the original highlander galakrond rogue WAS in the meta, why else would they nerf it?
Previously i thought, almost all neutral changes could be reversed, but undertaker is the only card they will never ever touch again. Well, this came out ofno where. Im really surprised patches was not touched but undertaker and arcane golem was.
Could you imagine a 3/3 or 5/5 Patches with charge on turn 1?
So, they decided to take the balance of wild, and throw it in the fire. Let’s bring back the source of the highest win rate deck in hearthstone history, but now it will be even more broken with all the new cards introduced since THE FIRST EXPANSION. The deck was broken with only classic/basic and nax, think of the bs now that there is 24 sets
What? The deck was broken because it was the early stages of HS, so now that there are a million ways to answer it, it won't be. It will probably not even see play.
