I Think that is most likely for them to put him as the same cost as Maiev(1000G), Since he also dont have a Card Back, i think that the 1500G cost are for the skins that have Card backs with the bundle, as we have seened with Sylvanas, Medivh and the Thunder King. But i could be wrong tho.
I didn't think it would affect Jandice either, but you'd expect to have seen her summon herself quite a few times if she could, and probably remember the low-roll too, yet I have no memory of it recent enough that I couldn't dismiss as being from early Scholomance. This is all just circumstantial evidence and could be wrong of course.
I just don't think it'll be enough to really fix the meta in such a way that other classes will be equally viable.
Like...what reason is there to stop playing Paladin or Mage? Libram Paladin still craps on just about every other deck in the game with the only downside being that it can no longer use Pen Flinger for reach. The Sword nerf is almost an indirect buff because it means you can run a smaller secret package (6 total) and still get full value from both swords most of the time.
Meanwhile Mage can easily just run Lunacy as backup because the regular gameplan of Spell Mage is so strong that it only loses to aggro which will get held at bay by the Paladins.
I honestly believe it's going to be the Libram discounters much more than the Librams (also Hand of A'dal, you can't give a ramping midrange/value deck the absolute best 1-2-3 curve in the entire game)
Not nerfing Refreshing Spring Water is insanity. The ridiculous value of draw 2 cards for 0 has caused me far more anger than Lunacy.
I would have liked the heal+summon 8/8 Libram to lose taunt too but you can't have everything.
No minion mage is still very strong without lunacy with all the burn and the draw, and lunacy wasn't even hit that hard to change anything in that deck.
As someone who owns the Sir Annoy-O skin, it's a really fun to use skin! 10/10 Meme skin, and the animations are very pretty! (So pretty that on mobile it can lag your game when the game starts. With lag i mean the game will struggle loading the intro animation and it will stutter a LOT lol.) The emotes are very fun to use as well. hello hello hello heeelllooooo! Kind of a memey hero skin, but that just gives Sir Annoy-O this charm that no other hero skin has. (Which is why i have almost only used Sir Annoy-O for all my Paladin decks since Sir Annoy-O came out.)
I hope it comes back in the store so other people can finally get it as well, because it's SUPER rare to actually face off against someone else with an Sir Annoy-O skin. And if there are 2 Sir Annoy-O players against each other, trust me its OFTEN a really fun *HELLO SPAM INTENSIES* match you won't forget for a good while! But it is kinda weird if Sir Annoy-O comes back soon, considering it is a halloween/hallows end skin.
And undoubtably some people will be mad about their Sir Annoy-O skin "losing value". Honestly we have been able to use this skin for like 2.5-3 years already, let other people have their chance to also experience the fun Sir Annoy-O brings.
I would have put Lunacy at 5-mana. Just kill it for good. No Minion Mage is likely to still be very strong after this, and I think you'd still run Deck of Lunacy even if you hold off on playing it until the late-game. Refreshing Spring Water needs to be hit.
Watchtower, Pen Flinger, and Jandice nerfs are very good and needed, but they need to hit Paladin harder. Sword of the Fallen is still an S-tier card with 2-durability. They need a bigger hit on their early game. First Day of School still has a 70%+ Mulligan WR in every kind of deck. Just make it a 1-mana card already, even if that probably kills it. Aldor Attendant should be reverted to a 2-drop, and Aldor Peacekeeper should probably be a 4/5. I wouldn't even mind seeing Libram of Justice go back to 6-mana. Right now the deck is simply too versatile at every stage of the game.
I'm gonna be honest. I didn't actually know that update would also affect cards like Jandice since it doesn't seem to be that big of a problem in this situation. I always thought it just applied to adding cards to the hand, and it's not entirely obvious that Jandice and other similar cards would also work this way.
Welcome nerfs, and not out of line with the general sentiment of what they'd be. I hope it's the end of pen Flinger. Would have like to see First Day of School hit too, and not just because of my golden copy.
Awful nerfs, only sword nerf is good. No nerf for 0 mana draw 2?! Even wild is unplayble coz of it, also, they could nerf freaking flamewakers, it s not ok. 3 mana card who kills you from 30 hp under free mage spells.
Posts still op, now you can remove them, but in wild pala still will be too op with 4 mana win a game.
She might have been caught up in the change that came during Scholomance where cards cannot generate themselves anymore unless they specifically state it (e.g. Dreadsteed). Normally that affects discover cards, but it might be general enough to affect Jandice too.

I think DoL is still very playable in that slot. DoL will still give things like Nagrand Slam for 7 mana.

Pen Flinger, Watch posts, Sword and deck of Lunacy I got what I wanted. Jandice is way to good so not surprised.

I knew I better hold onto Pen Flingers. It's not that much, but damn 9 Pen Flingers full refund feels nice.
Hearthstone's Pen Flinger Can No Longer Attack Face, Watch Posts Nerfed, and More! Forged in the Barrens Nerfs Arrive Tomorrow
Which is a good thing. Decks shouldn't be nerfed to get them out of the meta. But to make them fall in line with the rest.

They don't balance cards for wild, and they shouldn't balance standard cards for wild. These nerfs are fine.

Worst meta ever, aggro, aggro everywhere.
