Not really a nerf though.
when they admit they could have increased the cost, and didn’t and in fact gave the card MORE abilities, that’s not really a nerf…that’s a boost. In fact, they even say they want it seen in MORE decks and seeing MORE play.
That’s like taking the feedback people were giving about sire, and instead of the nerf they gave if, left it as it was and gave it “well, let’s let it infuse while in deck!”
