Even if they're not played, just their presence in the meta limits future design and what type of murlocs/beasts you can release in coming sets, and also cheap buffs like Murloc Warleader, Cold Blood, and FT totem etc. All these cards got nerfed for a reason because of even half-decent enablers like Bluegill. 

 Just because you don't see them in the meta, it doesn't mean the balance team and future set designers aren't complaining about them every week and watching them like a hawk. 

And also, just because the card itself isn't played, doesn't mean that they don't affect the power level of other cards like Zombeasts and Murloc quest. DS Rexxar would've been effectively nerfed a bit if Boar was removed from the meta by limiting the amount of build-your-own Leeroy-powered Chargers with Boar + any of the half-decent 1-2 mana beasts

Yeah, although what you say is right, you're only talking about supposition of what could be impact by card that haven't been played for the whole life span of then game (except for short period of time like otk murloc or quest rogue). So we should make a whole story for cards change that maybe could eventually somehow under certain circumstances in the future probably slightly have collateral damage on other card which aren't even played either like DS Rexxar, but totally ignore that the meta has the 3 same decks for 4 years now ?

Secret mage is OP by I'm quite ok with it cause you can counter it, but Big Priest, as a control player, is my nightmare since the first day of it's existence...

The fuck are you talking about? Priest is the lowest winrate class in the game. HSReplay has less than 20k Big Priest decks on ladder (the most played single deck right now has 91k plays by itself).  And Secret Mage only gained popularity in the last month,  at the beginning of January it literally had 10% of the playrate it does rn.

Yeah don't talk if you have started the game a week ago, still stucked in bronze 9 and have no idea what the game looked like before.

Here you 20k Big Priest : https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/wild-vs-data-reaper-report-26/

Oh and yeah, as secret mage didn't exist before 2021, here, take this random secret mage :

But yeah you know the game well buddy, it didn't exist before January ahah 

Couldnt have said it better :)

Glad to see the team responding to the community faster than ever. Good stuff.

Nice, i love Deathstalker Rexxar and the stonetusk boar nerf would be sad for the build a beast hero power.

I wish Blizz would just relegate charge to wild as a whole.

This is what they should have done to begin with.

Not really. They're adding them back because the change would've killed Anyfin paladin and Stonetusk boar OTKs.

Since Blizz has said they don't like OTK decks, I highly doubt that's why.

That's great news. Nothing but positive vibes from this one. Everyone who was sad about the changes can be happy now. And standard will remain mostly charge-free.

Anyone who says otherwise is just being antagonistic for no reason. So shush!

Anyfin is ALIVE! The deck is still viable gotten with it to legend 10 with it this month!

I am glad i can keep on using it for next few years (even when it becomes bad)

wow Blizz its doing good changes congrats didnt expect it

Crystal Core's power level is dogshit compared to what is currently in Wild. Quit complaining about things that won't matter.

I hope you are right. I just dont like Blizz taking these unnecessary risks just to appease the people that like to play solitaire in hearthstone for some reason.

keeping track of all changes is almost impossible.. they have to take more time to look at some cards before they come out

The wild meta has never been good 

Blatant support for Crystal Core
