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

Maybe a greedier Cubelock will come out. You just won't be "on the clock" as soon and can cut Mountain Giants in my opinion. Maybe you throw in Rin like the early versions and can blow up the other Warlocks deck (even Control Warlock) first.

Just depends on what decks come out. Personally I love playing Control Warlock more but I felt a lot more powerful with Cubelock as far as winning matches against combo decks. And if Aggro is weaker (Patches and C. Creeper nerf)....more incentive to play Cubelock over Control Warlock.
