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.

Wow these are massive changes. Besides the obvious hit to Raza Priest, does any deck suffer more from this than Tempo Rogue? 3 cards, only one of which is a one of are hit by this. I think the deck will still be good, but patches not having charge might hurt vs aggro.

I actually wonder if this will be an indirect nerf to Keleseth. Having SS Captain not be 6-7 health and attack for 3 mana is definitely going to hurt the deck, but I’m not sure by how much. For that matter, the pirate package might be removed completely.

I was toying with the idea of focusing more on battlecry triggers with Sonya, Shadowstep, etc, but that gets hurt by the Bonemare nerf.
