hey

Looks like we get a new legendary with mech event and they also buff a lot of cards. https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/blog/22990355?linkId=100000006342996
They didn’t buff the weakest cards,some of the buffed cards where already pretty decent.
The legendary looks very op and some of the other buffed cards also look really strong now. Its a different approach then nerfing the meta by removing cards. Now they are going to try change the meta by buffing cards.

It feels a bit weird to have some op cards removed and then they buff some other cards to op status including a new very op legendary lol.

Could be fun still,will see…

It’ll be interesting for sure. There are a couple of those buffs I am worried about and a couple that interest me.

I am certain that I will craft and mess with Luna’s Pocket Galaxy and see if it can be a usable fun deck roughly equal to Big Rogue in Wild. I guess I will be trading in my Archivist for Pocket Galaxy for certain.

The new Legendary looks quite powerful, flexible, and fun!

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, some of these buffs seem to be duplicitous in the sense that Blizz might cite them as reasons they do not buff cards. Having said that, I do hope I am wrong.

The buffs accompanying this event is very exciting news! :smiley: I look forward to seeing the metagame impact, and hopefully seeing future balance patches include both nerfs and buffs. :yum:

Wait, are they actually buffing cards forever or just during the event? Because if it’s permanent and it becomes a trend and they start doing it for the basic set and other expansions this might be the best thing that has ever happened to Hearthstone.

The only thing that worries me is that this buffs to mechdin will make him more powerfull than he already is, which mean he could be a target for posible nerfs later

These are permanent buffs according to the story.

11

It is permanent, and no doubt an experiment!

12

The changes are permanent (until they revert the buffs to “create more design space” lul).
I am excited.
That is for sure.
The possibility of cards receiving more than one-dimensional balance changes is very intriguing.

Not gonna lie, this is pretty amazing.

WOW wowowowow this is amazing. Some of the buffs are meh, but, the actual implementation of buffs is pretty exciting! That new mech legendary is going to bonkers!

15

The buffs all look reasonable, but that mech, while it looks fun to play, is broken AF.

Okay. Now were talking.

18

Now the question is; how much dust are they going to take from us to ‘compensate’ these buffs? I mean, when cards are nerfed we get dust, so when cards are buffed we lose some, right? Kappa

They’ll just extra-rig the RNG of anyone foolish enough to not purchase the single player bundle :wink:

That’s a far more apropriate cost for her. She might be “playable” now.

These two changes could be bigger than they seem to on a surface level.

I’m less certain the rest of the changes are going to be as impactful as these two. I could obviously be wrong, but most of them don’t seem like they’ll change too much in how decks that could use them would use them.
