Stuff like this and duplicated coins are design issues that should have been addressed during the stupid amount of time that they spend developing the mode.

And they havent fixed the second one yet.

This dosn't even come close to an update in my book.

Imagine printing a Hero card so bad it needed two buffs

my first time seeing double

Absolutely. It's not like he's even core in anything outside of Taunt Druid.

Mage is garbage atm, what are you talking about? Even with the nerfs, Rogue is still much better. You're gonna be begging for Mage to come back once every other game is Questlock though.

Am I wrong or there were supposed no nerfs today?

That makes two of us! XD

not a big deal, not at all!

you are acting as if this is the last change they are making to the mode. Keep in mind that it will have a similar update cycle to Battlegrounds, so you can expect 1 big patch that focuses on Mercenaries per Expansion.

Nice work, going one step forward and two steps back on the Trogg nerf. I guess OTKs will still continue to reign and with our new champion Mozaki Mage coming out of the shadows to finally destroy everyone. I guess Mage hasn’t been op for a while and Celestalon or whoever needed the ez ranks. Hopefully the changes do something and I’m just not being overly skeptica

• Abominable Lieutenant is no longer draftable in Arena.

This is very welcome news! I wonder if this also means that the button is getting pushed at an attempt to bring the class winrates closer together.

Really lovin this deck. I'm not a very good player and am practicing with it now (8 wins so far!) It just has such a nice flow! Thank you for posting it!

I face almost all Alliance. I picked the Horde because I thought that card would look cooler with a diamond skin.

Too little, too late.

That, or there is a silent majority of players who didn't know or give a sh*t who was stronger, and just think Vanndar is more interesting.

Back in the olden times, I helped organise a bunch of real-world FSGs in Toronto - a fairly large majority of folks we met had never played WoW before (myself included.)

Used Drek’thar in a Secret Hunter list, but that’s it.  Also I’m in the final stage of the Honor gain so I guess DE himwhile I have the chance, right?

I"m confused to the Alliance Bannerman.  It is used as a handbuff and soft tutor.  How is making it more easy to die a nerf?  If they increased the cost, that would be a nerf.  If they made it a 1/1, that would be a kind of nerf.  But it still can deal 2 damage on it's own and pulls something from your deck and buffs your hand. 

• Celestial Alignment  needed it.  Druid has NEVER had a problem ramping and although this delays it a turn, in a world where you have Innervate, The Coin, and Lightning Bloom, this is still going to go off relatively quick
• Efficient Octo-bot This is not THE problem with the deck.  It does help a lot.  Like really a lot.  But the issue is that Rogue is able to cycle through it's deck so efficiently with Field Contact.  I think that this was intended to make people feel better about it but not "kill" the deck
• Snowfall Guardian I've been using this in Wild extensively and have seen how much it is needed to stop.  The fact that I could use it, if I had another one, stop my opponent the next turn, and if I had that damned bird, there is yet ANOTHER buffed minion and their side of the field is halted for 3 turns. 
• Touch of the Nathrezim Effective, but I don't know if 1 health reduction is enough to hit this card.  Honestly, I didn't think this needed to be nerfed, but that's my opinion
• Runed Mithril Rod IT pains me to say this, but it was needed.  I was using it in my Wild decks and when I Plot Twist into a hand of reduced cost cards, I had so many opponents just quit right then and there.  Dropping this on T3 with The Coin was really stupid
• Bloodsail Deckhand makes it easier to kill, but in an aggro deck who cares.
• Irondeep Trogg Thank the gods... I was getting so tired of seeing my opponents drop a hand buffed version of this and then hit it with Blessing of Authority for me to deal with it and it's clones. 
• Mo'arg Artificer eh... I think with the health buff it's getting the cost increase isn't going to impact it as much.  We can all hope though.
•  
• Beaststalker Tavish's Summon Pet This makes this hero much more likely to be played.  Having to pay the standard cost of Animal Companion without having the face shot hero power was rough.
• Grey Sage Parrot With the stat reduction, this is a good change.  It will make it a little scarier for those who want to hone in on Big Mage, but it is a good change. 
• Magister Dawngrasp WTF?!?!?!  Can this be a better buff??
• Wildfire This should have existed from the beginning, glad that it is going to be consistent. 

I agree with your explanation. You are completely right. Yet still, it's the case. And from your explanation we can draft the solution for the problem - change available sets or change starting treasure. I don't know Team5's plans for this, but maybe we should ask Iksar on his next Q&A what's gonna happen to treasures and hero powers, when the sets they are based on, gonna rotate out. Here's to hoping :) 

These changes will make Wild worse. The two meta tyrants are Quest Hunter and Quest Warrior. The first one will have its best counter taken away and the second one will only be nerfed very lightly. Meanwhile the new Tier 1 contenders, Handbuff Paladin and Freeze Shaman will both receive pretty significant hits.

No, I will take at your word and disenchant regardless so I can blame you personally later.

As someone who plays way more MErcenaries than he should...I don't think this changes much. This only affects lvl 30 bounties aka Winterspring and above, which are all much more difficult to grind (both in terms of length and difficulty). Unlike the Felwood bounties, even with a good party you still are very much subject to getting unlucky and just losing a run on the last couple fights which is a huge drawback compared to the regular bounties that are much more reliable to complete. This only really seems to help those who are only target farming a specific merc and have nothing else to do. Everyone else is still better off doing normal bounties while farming Mysterious Stranger.
