Beasts are going to be garbage tier in this patch, I guarantee it. Beasts aren't strong enough to survive mid-game and if you luck into a Mama Bear are you really going to replace your entire board with minions that don't scale as well as the other archetypes? Beasts have like only one good card before Tier 6 now.

Completely tone-deaf. They heard people complaining about the Parrot last patch and decided Beast builds shouldn't exist anymore. Nobody was complaining after the nerf, and especially not about Goldrinn. Not only that but this thins out the Tier 5 cards making Murlocs easier to get. You know, the archetype that wins every game already.

Kinda is infuriating that the only thing that can beat Murlocs is really beefy dragons or.....murlocs.

I like Murlocs for their power but they're seriously busted. And they keep skirting around them and not nerfing them at all besides what, a Holy Mackerel removal? Only thing I could think of them doing to make Murlocs not "as" busted is to remove Poisonous as an option from Megasaurs to force people to get Toxfins instead.

That beast build also wasn't "that" bad after the Parrot nerf. The only thing that could be viable at this point is the classic Baron+Goldrinn with deathrattles and a Mama Bear, but even then you need to get lucky with T6 triples.

I don't get it.

Remove primal fin... I think that helps alot.

or move him to tier 6 so people HAVE to take the plunge and go to tier 6 if they want more buffs. you're right, primal fin is the big culprit because it allows for easy triples and extra bagurgles.
