I’m not saying the nerf wasn’t unwarranted, it clearly needed to happen, I just don’t get why Mages are allowed to demand compensation for IC going to a whole three mana but asking for Paladin to actually have different ways of winning is totally uncalled for.
And to be honest, they probably didn’t need to hit both Battlemaster and Conviction. That’s just probably going to kill the entire deck, if not class.
Don’t downplay IF’s nerf. It’s unplayable now and Mage has no other viable decks. Quest Mage will be lucky to be Tier 4 after this.
Paladin’s still got it’s Handbuff cards, Secret package, and Librams which nobody’s been using for a while. Some type of Paladin will still exist post Battlemaster.
It’s not even like Battlemaster was a Paladin exclusive nerf either. Rogues and Warlocks were abusing the card too.
How about no…quests are amazingly efficient as they are.
There’s nothing efficient about the constraints Paladin Quest puts on your deck.
Make a 1 gold minion that lets you discover and play a paladin secret. That way, Paladin can spam more Oh My Yoggs to cuckold Mage and Warlock scum.
Why? It’s actually really strong, it’s just not seeing as much play cause there are two other even stronger Pally decks being played. Same reason you don’t see much quest Shaman.
