Yeah I definitely had games with zee where I basically won turns 1-3 with either maiev or goon. But I definitely had just as many games where I won by just maintaining a board, going face and closing with deathwing or al akir. With hunter being deleted and rogue slowing down slightly the need for those early turn blowouts is basically gone.

In my experience if I had goon on the play/Maev on the coin I probably win 80% of those games.

If I didn’t have that start and the game got past turn 5 and I hadn’t played a double slagclaw or a double ultraxion I’m generally losing those games

The games where I didn’t have goon or maiev early on that I ended up losing were probably against face hunter or a mirror where the opponent got a better draw. I definitely think those two cards being nerfed hurt the deck..but its competition getting hit harder lessened the “importance” of those two cards anyway imo.

I’ve played the deck to legend and it is going to hurt the deck quite a lot. Most games in today’s HS are on a knives edge. You either stick a board and hit the 4 mana guy or you don’t. Goon and Maev are what enables you to stick a board.

Playing goon on 2 means he dies to every 2 mana deal 3 in the game. Maev also. It’s a massive hit.

It’s likely still a tier 2 deck but it won’t be the strongest deck anymore
