Of course, they’re pretty substantial nerfs, and there aren’t really any good replacements for what were two of the class’s best early game cards.

Surely “… to maintain its current, and healthier, function in Standard” makes it pretty clear that it’s staying in Standard? Besides, didn’t they say explicitly that it was only banned for Wild in the original announcement? As for laziness, I’d say the willingness to consider new options such as this is the opposite, and that this solution is great since it means the issues it had in Wild don’t have consequences for its unrelated potential Standard.

Unfortunately, most of them are hot trash (which I expected tbf). However, I now find myself wondering if I can find a half decent deck for Master Oakheart…

I got the wild bundle, and probably used up all my luck for the month. 7 legendaries from 40 packs, in addition to the free ones, and including a golden Grommash Hellscream.

By hitting two of the best cards currently played in most Paladin decks. I imagine that should help noticeably.

Whenever vs after. Before, if the buff would save it from being cleared by the overload card, it would get the buff and live; now, the card would kill it before it gets the buff.

I honestly can’t see “no other minions” cards like this seeing play outside of maybe Arena.

Fair enough, I did mention that point though.

I would be so down for that, didn’t get to play hadronox druid when it was in standard, and it’s probably the style I enjoy most, so that would be great!

Interesting that they seem to be pushing some kind of miracle druid

…your point being? What hypothetical deck do you see benefitting from the priest card?

Eh, they’re not that bad, and while Shaman isn’t great overall at the moment of course, from looking at HSReplay to see what people are trying to make work, it seems nature spells are mainly what is actually played. The reasons given for Shaman not being relevant don’t tend to focus on spell quality so much as lack of relevant 1-drops and lack of card draw, so since this card would go miles towards fixing one of those problems, I can easily see elemental shamans running almost exclusively nature spells, like they do already, to take advantage of the significant payoff offered here (possibly still with one or two copies of devolving missiles, but we’ll soon see).

Thanks

Looking at current Priest decks, they tend to run mainly shadow spells with only a sprinkling of holy, so I’ll believe it when I see it.

Thanks, I’ll give this a spin, although the guide doesn’t seem to have uploaded?

Seriously? You think the Priest one will see play? I can see the Shaman one being the strongest revealed so far since it’s a more consistent Arcane Intellect on a stick, with an easy-to-meet deckbuilding constraint, in a class desperate for card draw. Not sure about the rest though (although I can’t remember most of the leaked ones).

Some very interesting decks in this list, I may have to try out that OTK rogue deck sometime.

If only it benefitted from fire spells instead… then it’d’ve made a decent Wildfire tutor…

…which is surely a good thing, since it makes combo decks more interactive, although I’d prefer it if it was permanent (more to the tune of Glide, Stelina, Felsoul Jailer)

I feel like if this sees play, it may be mainly a Priest card to counter Warlocks
