    Finally wagtoggle, i can finish the trophy, any news from Galakrond ? Miss him too to make the 100% achievement in battleground.

      Why was she taken out? Too strong at +2 +1? I didn’t play bg in that meta so I missed it. Yeah I miss Gala as well

      1. PitLord

        Yes, was tier 1 with Galakrond before the buff to Elise (now nerfed again)

  2. Advocaat

    Why buffing Macaw? It’s already very good unit when it fits the composition.
