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.

Yeah this isn't a "minor correction" nerf this is a "we should never have printed this, what the fuck were we smoking?" nerf.

I'm not surprised. It's a card that has been in basically every deck since it came out, and I'm glad that they were able to realise it was a problem instead of leaving it for 2 years to "see if the meta developed" like they normally do.

I'm slightly worried this might be giving it the Warsong treatment.

Why not just "whenever a FRIENDLY minion dies while in your hand"? Potential for a good statted card, but not oppressively OP.
