Boggspine reduced attack at least. if they reduce its endurance its gone, increasing the cost might slow it a bit but with mana cheating with bloom it may not take that much of a hit. boggspine is a weapon without a downside. its downside should be u get a subpar attack. 2 attack should be fair. cause even if u can deal with their board u are just gonna get knocked in the egg with 8 damage with just one weapon. they have a tutor card and a revive with the pillager. thats a lot of dmg just with the weapon
So I decided to give the nerfed Soul Demon Hunter another spin, and guess what? It's still pretty good. It still farms Evolve Shamans despite the delayed board clears (went 4-1 against them today). I just teched in Kobold Stickyfinger to annoy them even more lol. It feels good to beat up on Shamans again, after days of constantly losing against them.
Duels is a ton of fun but DH is still dominant due to the insane power/synergy of outlander. Most times any other class I play feels like the win/loss is a coin flip. Heads, you face DH and lose. Tails, you face some other class and have a chance to win. The mode needs each class to have a viable HP/Treasure/StarterDeck synergy that can compete. Right now a DH is S tier with a few classes playable beneath it and a few that are just awful and have no real synergy to win early in a run.
If you want to beat go hard you just could play one of the new scars decks. with the help of The Scargrounds go hard is practically useless and with Bloodsworn Pledge you will make your units survive PYB aswell
Ironically, the one midrange deck that has a good matchup vs Go hard decks is the FTR Freljord midrange deck, which does not need to run bottom barrel Scars followers to tech against the card. The Overwhelm units are tanky enough to not need anything but battle fury or other buffs to chunk the opponent out most of the time. The problem with Go Hard is not that it is too strong vs every type of deck, it just shuts down way too many strategies and gives too much value for one mana. Usually any card that is super oppressive to midrange decks with decent winrates vs aggro ends up making the meta feel really stale and drags out game times. Thus why half the Shadow isles lategame control cards/ Ionian elusives got nerfed in this games' genesis.
Oh i love this design approach. So i guess she is more of a control-oriented champ. I think her effect will create an interesting play pattern and decision making down the line, with all those spell-mana resource management going on. The spirit is an on-play effect, so card like The Rekindler and the gang can't abuse it.
I don't know man, i can't critique an interesting design until i try it in game. I just loves it. Well, one think i'll try is pair her up with Yasuo in a Ionia-based control deck that banks up mana in the early rounds and start stunning and recalling like crazy in the mid game. It also fit the current lore where they both go to BW haha.
I love it, it's great, keep going. Happy New Year to you and all future readers as well.
Thank you.~ I'm not afraid to admit that I tend to design with more of a control oriented approach, but it also just comes down to the fact that thematically all the characters I've made so far fit control rather well. I didn't consider the rekindler I admit but I'm glad I dodged that since its one of my least favourite cards in the game right now.
I will keep going so long as I have ideas and can find art that doesn't feel too awkward and forced, have a happy new years as well.~ May it be better than the last one!

I'm currently at 977 wins with Warrior, and 845 with Demon Hunter. I had hoped to get those two classes to 1k by the end of 2020, but unfortunately DH got nerfed heavily so I couldn't grind with the class that well anymore.
I'm still playing Bomb Warrior on ladder, but it's an unfortunate casualty of people teching in Kobold Stickyfinger in every deck, so it's a bit hostile out there right now. Nerf Evolve Shaman now, for the love of God!

Seems fun and annoying. Excellent for the new season weekend!

Personal predictions
Boggspine Knuckles's cost increased to 6 mana.
Something will be touched for Rogue (Foxy Fraud?) and Warrior too.
I am expecting some Wild changes too, but you never know about that format.

Boggspine Knuckles will hopefully take a well deserved hit

I feel like there's a good chance at BlizzConline they'll unveil cards and release the mini-set shortly after which means no cards in January.

The real question: Will we get the new cards added to Darkmoon Faire at this time?
A Wild Hearthstone Weekend Featuring The Old Gods! 5 Great Community Decks
Probably a bad idea, but crafted C'Thun, the Shattered and Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound for that Big Warrior deck. Niche cards like The Boomship are just too much fun not to play them.

Well at least you are being modest while also being a world famous deck builder. Not bad.

It basically indicates how good the CN player thinks these decks are. Nothing fancy: just a personal opinion from a very good player.

Yeah, found it right away after searching for the italicized word. I wasn't getting any ideas from FrostyFeet's hint.
