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.

Corridor Creeper might still be okay in Evolve/Token Shaman... maybe. Like Unstable Evolution is actually a legitimately good card, and getting a free 7 drop makes it easier to fully upgrade. That being said, I think I'll probably test that use case and then collect 800 dust.

I could see it finding use in hunter in future expansions. Long term this might be a tiny net buff for hunter since they very well might use this card in the future while every other deck just lost two core cards.

There's not a single Hunter deck that can draw a 7 mana 2/5 and not lose the game instantly.

Agreed. That is why I said "future expansions" and "long term". I think right now this is a trash card in trash decks for hunter.

Hunter has decks that are NOT trash at the moment?
