We’re hoping that a couple buffs will make these cards easier to squeeze into turns and make the whole package feel better to try in a variety of decks. It will be very interesting to observe just how much the metagame and power levels are going to shift following various card updates.ĭev Comment: Relics are a fun and flavorful new archetype from Murder at Castle Nathria, but they haven’t had their chance to shine. And if you end up following through with this, just don't forget to disenchant them back before the time is up! We'll be sure to keep our usual reminder at hand.Īt least three of these classes have definitely needed a helping hand. However, don't do it outright if you wish to maximize your potential dust numbers by still finding Epics Stag Charge and Wild Spirits or Legendary Ara'lon. There are relevant XP achievements to hunt down for the class meanwhile!
#Nerf zombie hunter Patch
The above craftable cards, as well as Spirit Poacher, Stag Charge, Wild Spirits, and Ara'lon will be eligible for full dust refunds for two weeks following Patch 24.0.3.Īs some people were expecting (or at least hoping for), that's the entire Wildseed package eligible for dust refunds! We've seen this happen before with Kargal Battlescar and Watch Posts during Forged in the Barrens.Īnd yes, it means you could effectively craft these cards (if you don't own either) and play with them 'free of charge' for about 2 weeks (while also ensuring your Standard/Castle Nathria packs won't pull them due to existing duplicate protection). We’re adding a mana cost to Kobold Illusionist to slow the deck down and break up some of its consistency.

We hope that by removing the pressure this card applies, it will be less difficult for players to navigate. A big part of their power comes from their ability to repeatedly freeze enemy boards while also pressuring their life totals, thanks to Snowfall Guardian. Battlecry: Freeze all other minions.ĭev Comment: Control Shaman has been one of the most dominant decks since the expansion launch. We hope Wildseeds will remain a key part of Hunter decks going forward, but will be a little less ubiquitous across all Hunter archetypes. When this awakens, equip a 3/2 Greatbow.ĭev Comment: The Wildseed package has been a fun addition to Hunter, but Stag Spirit Wildseed has been putting out more face damage than we intended. This change is targeted at removing as much of that frustration as possible while still retaining the primary effect for players who enjoy the big turns it can allow. Alignment has been a frustrating card to play against for a while now and has remained that way after the release of Murder at Castle Nathria, even if it is not a balance outlier.

Old: Set each player to 0 Mana Crystals.The following cards have been adjusted down in their power:
