This past week kicked things off on Monday with one hell of a Hearthstone patch. We saw 18 cards from the Boomsday project get buffed which brought quite a bit of excitment. With mechs dominating the ladder, its time to see which are the most used.
Thanks to data from HSReplay, we can tell you definitively some cards are more sought after than others. Check out all the stats below and tell us in the comments which buffed cards you are having the most fun playing. Do any of these cards surprise you?
Edit note: The percentages in the table have been corrected/updated at ~14:20 CEST.

The Least Popular Buffed Boomsday Class Cards
Frowny Face. You won't be seeing these around much, but maybe you can find a use for them? Change the meta! Okay, maybe not.

Nerf Venomizer + Missile Launcher
Just depressing to lose against it
Divine Shield meta!
Warrior card buffs did not create any additional decks, but they definitely buffed control warrior
Not to mention that they discover SN1P-SN4P sometimes
Actually, I didn't believe those results so I checked them. Turns out [Hearthstone Card (Pogo-Hopper) Not Found] and [Hearthstone Card (Glowstone Technician) Not Found]'s results are mixed.
I've now corrected/updated the percentages so they should be right. Let us know if something still off. (Didn't touch the % Used Class Decks, that might still be incorrect.)
Also some other results are wrong as well:
[Hearthstone Card (Spirit Bomb) Not Found] , [Hearthstone Card (Dr. Morrigan) Not Found], [Hearthstone Card (Security Rover) Not Found], [Hearthstone Card (Beryllium Nullifier) Not Found] and others
Percentages are slightly off by 1-3% at most, but I think it has to do with the fact that data is probably from yesterday...
That data only made me want to play Dr. Morrigan in my deck but I dusted her looooong time ago :/
I also DE her, and The Storm Bringer as well. I regret it now.
I think Pogo-Hopper is soon to give everyone nightmare
There will be more ''Nerf Rogue Already''-thread where it came from
It is a tradition now
Glowstone Technician's popularity is definitely surprising but as stats show, it's quite overrated at the moment. Dr. Morrigan having the second best played winrate is also unexpected.
EDIT: This comment certainly didn't age well after that correction edit.
Tables are not great on mobile, we need some serious love for them. Apologies!
They work fine with screen rotate
Hey at least the table is readable. I don't mind scrolling sideways.
