I feel like there are two important things about comparing Watch Posts and Caravans
1). Before they were nerfed, the Watch Posts had premium stats (The common one had 2/4 for two, the rare one had 3/5), while the Caravans have 1/3 for two mana, not exactly impressive.
2). Watch Posts were nerfed because they were tech cards that were too good at their jobs, to the point where they were pretty much slotted into every deck they could fit in, while Caravans only helped you.
Given that Blighted Caretaker was a really strong, borderline broken card since it's release during rising tides it is surprising thst the nerf came so late and also in the least meaningful way.
1 Attack is certainly not a small deal for caretaker and reduces his extreme snowball potential but I am quite sure it still will be a (very) strong card.
I think removing the stat buff from apotheosis is a great place to start. Life steal is extraordinarily powerful and makes games too swing. Comeback mechanics are great but you shouldn't be rewarded with a board clear and full heal for ignoring the board. It would be fine if the priest did not already have some of the best premium removal in the game. Playing around hysteria and soul mirror is already difficult and then they punish you if you go tall or sticky too. Priest needs seriously looked at. Especially if you are going to hit cards like tickatus and Crabrider.
I suggest making Tickatus a symmetrical effect! Making it a 7 cost card does nothing, it will still destroy control decks and just be even worse than it already is in aggro matchups. This way at least both players still technically have the same amount of cards and fits in with the Warlock theme of being bad hitting themselves.
Also Control Warlock is really strong right now, why do people say its a tier 4 deck? It beats Priest, Paladin and Warrior easily (the top meta contenders) and its only bad matchup is Face Hunter which is also much rarer these days.
Is a 2-mana 0/2 Mana Tide Totem too broken? Lack of draw is the class' biggest problem. I think Vashj Prime is fine how she is. I just never seem to draw her.
This is so dumb and shows either thread creator is a control priest fanboy or has no opinions and listens to the loudest complainers.
Control priest is tier 1 right now, but you are suggesting nerfs to a tier 4 deck that beats it? It generates multiples board clears, heals and and has no counterplay beyond mage and warlock. I would like to see hysteria moved to 4 mana. I would like to see a rework to how the discover mechanic works so that it can no longer be chained into more card generation.
Legendary spells shouldnt be discoverable either otherwise what is the point of limiting the in the first place?
Right now priest destroys aggro, midrange and control. Mage dealing 60 burn isn't even a free win. The priest class is extremely unhealthy. It only loses to its own badluck on the card generation. You can't effectively pressure the class with minions and you can't out value them without tickatus. They have answers to everything but tickatus.
Somebody needs to say it, so I will. I know priest being bad is a meme, but the class is tier 1 now and thoroughly unenjoyable to play against. This isn't a control problem, this is a card generation problem. Let me be clear on that.
Discover effects allow extreme flexibility, let's put a lid on the power of them now. Right now it's still playing by the rules of LoE and the game has changed so much that even the ability to not discover the same spell isn't a good enough limiter on the power of discover.
I would give the caravans stealth for 1 turn, it could also be symbolic in the sense that enemies(thieves for examples) only start to really notice them once the route has first been set
this deck doesn't win often, we all know this. But it's a hell of fun! I'm played not many games, but there was a nice game vs a control WL. First I was able to steal 2 of 4 C'thun pieces. Then I could copy two Rustwiks, draw some Primes with backfire, played a Murgurgle Prime, which summoned a Murgurgle, drew the new Prime immediately, and again "played a Murgurgle Prime, which summoned a Murgurgle, drew the new Prime immediately" -> Concede
This deck is best played with SI:7 Anduin and VanCardback.

A small change to Death Speaker Blackthorn to make it a better card : summon deathrattle minions from the highest (5 mana) to the lowest one.
Right now, he summons randomly between 5 and 1 mana.
