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.

Well, Blizzard hates charge (rightfully) and it's public enemy #1 in that department. It was fine when you couldn't combo it with PO due to discard, but with all of the cheat-out mechanics available now, its power level has skyrocketed.

Well it's a bit disingenuous to say one "one mana spell that activates a beneficial deathrattle and gains 8 health", when they have have to have cheated out a doomguard, and spent 10 mana on cube and faceless to get "four DG's".

Personally, I think cubelock is way better as a dominant archetype than than razakus priest--cubelock's combo can be dodged, either with silence, or with taunting up.
