No changes to rogue (Faceless Corruptor change hurts them the least because they can buff him up).
No changes to the wolves?
That’s just poor.

Just play face hunter currently rank 3 with it and it does wonders against shaman and rogue!

One overbearing deck leaves, another comes in.
Life has many doors, Ed boy.
I guess their argument is that silence effects can counter Apothecary. Which…fair enough, but everyone slapping Spellbreaker into their deck isn’t exactly my idea of a good metagame.
At least these are a good start.

Wow i was impressed at the speed of this nerf, if not a little worried that we haven’t had enough time to feel out the meta, but i got to say wow they missed the mark on this one. I’m calling it right now they are going to have to nerf shaman again, and hopefully they will nerf Rogue too (though it might be early to say on that one)

I think it’s time to Hall of Fame Boar and Deckhand. Cheap neutral Charge minions keep continually causing issues with Rogue (how many times did we have to nerf the Quest again?). Just move the old boys out to pasture in Wild so that design space is opened up for giving Rogues cool new value cards and end the oppression of 20+ damage from hand on turn 6.

Amalgam being gone is a HUGE change. This should make juggler more interesting because right now he’s just a cleave and is better as two instead of one. I’m a little worried that cobalt is going to be too powerful but we’ll see. I’m happy with anything that moves us away from murloc.

Interesting to see blizzard tries to soft tune the meta, instead of nerf hammering something into oblivion.
But I am afraid this will not be enough.
But we will see. If blizzard fine tunes it every week, this can become interesting.
