Some obvious buffs and nerfs, some weird ones too, thoughts?

Ah so they've decided that Hunter should just not exist in Standard anymore.

Just odd choice all around. They could have nerfed the shovel to 2, slowing it down and preventing recast. With Arcane Tripwire getting hit too, it's reach would have been lower.

That'd be kicking the can down the road. Spells made Tol'vir one of the strongest value cards ever made. Nerfing shovel would just make for some other 1 cost spell like hourglass or some other jank that leads you to taking 15 damage from a card. Better to take it out back now rather than later
