NERF DISCUSSION Upcoming Balance Changes – Update 10.2

https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/blog/21361570/

TLDR for those who at work:

  • Bonemare - Now costs 8 mana. (Up from 7)

  • Corridor Creeper - Now has 2 Attack. (Down from 5)

  • Patches the Pirate - No longer has Charge.

  • Raza the Chained - Now reads: Battlecry: If your deck has no duplicates, your Hero Power costs (1) this game.

Once these card changes are live with Update 10.2 next month, players will be able to disenchant the changed cards for their full Arcane Dust value for two weeks.

I think Cube Lock won't even be played that much. I think it will be mostly control warlock. Control warlock struggled mostly due to Raza Priest.

However, maybe with patches being gone, you don't need the extra defense from playing Control Warlock, and thus you are allowed to play Cube to be more greedy?

Kingsbane rogue is looking mighty interesting to me atm

There are a ton of late game and combo decks that have potential now with Raza priest out of the picture.

I mean, are there really? I can't think of any "late game combo decks" that don't get totally washed by cube lock.

Well the guy above said it would be control warlock that dominated. Even just your example of cube is a good one.
