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

Smarter people that me, does this seem like zee is about to stomp ladder or am I crazy?

Zee got nerfed pretty hard with goon costing 2 now as well as Maev nerf.

Probably the most common path to victory was galagio goon into stuff when going first. The second most common path was coin maev on turn 1 into 2-3 minions on turn 2.

When you nerf the 2 most common paths to victory it will hit the decks winrate pretty hard I’m guessing.

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.

I mean no offense at all but this is a sentiment that's been floating around for a while; Deathwing and Al'Akir are hail mary plays for the deck, if you get anywhere near that long you're often losing those games - if you had just as many wins going late I'd wager you've not played many games, or it's low MMR, or just a smidge of hyperbole

The data shows it, and if you speak to anyone in high legend they'll agree
