That doesn’t feel better

It will be crazy to see these nerfs snowball. Once snake is nerfed than other cards are likely to be nerfed as well. Seems like Paladins and Druids might be the next target.

It’s a pretty big nerf, you cannot double summon it in a single turn anymore.
Lol useless. 20 characters blizzard
are you sure you ll be able to play it twice in a turn aseasily as before?
Congrats Blizzard… way to shoot yourself in the foot.
Legendary Excavate rewards cost 4 mana… not any more.
They should have reduced the power of the card, not nerfed its cost. Oh well, whatever. I’ll take the dust

Okay, this is definitely enough to let other classes breathe. Now we can see how other decks contend with Naga DH and Dragon Druid. Which is important.
Snake completely warped the meta around itself. If that’s gone, we’ll get a more accurate picture of just how strong the other “offenders” are.
Unless you have Shadowstep.
What do you mean Snake isn’t a Rogue card???
TBH, 5 mana would have been enough to prevent copying/bouncing it and summoning it twice in a turn. You can’t summon the card twice unless you get it (or a copy) back in your hand.
Knee jerk reaction from small indie company…
No, you don´t.

The 6 mana nerf is only temporary as a bandaid fix.
They will come back and adjust snake permanently at a later time.
Also confirmed there will be a dust refund(s)

OK, what exactly will be refunded? Can you provide some links to the info?

Anyhoo… since no-one has yet posted the link, here’s what I found.

> Blizzard just posted patch notes for 28.0.2 and… it’s coming out today!
**> **
**> The main feature of the patch is the nerf of [The Azerite Snake – it now costs 6 mana instead of 4 so you can’t bounce it around that easily. The cost of full combo will go up by 6 mana and you can’t play it twice in a single turn on 10 mana. This is not a permanent fix. They plan another adjustment to the card later, but the only things they can change in server-side updates are stats and cost. That’s why changing its cost was the only solution.

The dumb 3 drop in naga dh next? Please?
Be nice to have games longer than 3 turns against dh.

They didn’t give specifics on dust refunds but the details were announced in the Community Discussion section of the hearthstone forums (Patch 28.0.2).

it’ll probably just be dust refunds on the excavate warlock cards.
What specifics you need?
If they nerf azerite snake alone, all the cards that excavate will give you full dust if you disenchant.
Ha, I called it. 6 mana to stop double snake plays. You were quite against the idea, but here it is.
This nerf killed the deck.
it was already struggling at diamond/ legend. Now its dead. You can’t double snake anymore. You need to wait turn 8 to spend your whole turn stealing life with a snake. You need to survive two turn doing nothing to kill the opponent. Lol.

Looks like we won’t be getting refunds until the permanent fix:
They could cheap out and only refund the Warlock excavate cards, but if you look in your collection and closely examine Kobold Miner and Burrow Buster, they each list 5 “related cards”, which are the 5 legendary excavate rewards, including Snake.
So, all 4 cards should be refundable.
