Got Ranked 3 with Dragon Hunter this weekend. Fast play to the face with Stormhammer that the enemy can't counter effectively. So effective even without Leeroy Jenkins (that card is too slow and dead, and you rely most on low mana cards in early turn).
I'm afraid if this trend continues, they will start build decks with weapon counter.
I personally hope that Leeching Poison is the one thing that doesn't get reverted. I really hated how the old Kingsbane Rogue was an insta loss against aggro (usually), but an almost auto win against anything else.
There's a huge problem when you know who has won by the time turn 0-1 has rolled around after finding out that you're facing Kingsbane Rogue with stall/answers for days, immunity to non-[otk] lethal damage from slow decks, and the normal punishment from mill.
I think a good change might to be to make the effect be a buff that you place on a minion, not a passive effect. So, instead of saying "all minions have +3 attack" it would say "at the start of combat, give all minions +3 attack". This change might be a bit complicated, but it would fix the interactions with token generators such as Rat Pack, but it would still have cool synergies with things like Cave Hydra or divine shield minions.
Honestly, I think it would be okay if the reverted Undertaker. Most things that were broken 5 years ago would be fairly tame today. As more cards get printed, the bar gets higher. Being an 11 isn't so impressive when the standard changes from 10 to 100, if you get what I mean.
Yeah, we need some numbers, but Riot was never fan o clarity.
There is other obnoxious interaction with the pony, and it is Dawn and Dusk, which makes Hecarim instantly level up and do massive damage or wipe out a board just to use The Rekindler next Turn and finish what is left of the player.
Seriously, Hecarim is way overtuned, and if it is true SI have some of the most cost/efficient cards in LOR, Hecarim needs a nerf or power shift. Must be the single champion that is worth to play without the need to level him up.
After a weekend worth of it, the cycle is completed ; I was having Big Demon 503 Warlock and I faced the very same deck, so the score haven't changed. Let me know if you face anything else pass this point.
Agreed that Sap is currently in a flexible spot. I kinda really think 1 copy is enough. The other can be left according to meta. I was thinking of cutting SN1P-SN4P since face hunter is more or less surpassed by dragon hunter.
On the new quest warlock though. I've been watching gallon play this with great interest but am frequently disappointed on how inconsistent it is. My opinion is that it needs either more taunt minions or early tempo and Crazed Netherwing is not impressive. Plot Twist + The Soularium is really good in that deck, gets you your tekahn more consistently. Wish I had Dark Pharaoh Tekahn myself so I can experiment with the archetype.
I think Corrupt Elementalist should get the revert treatment. I think the shaman nerfs went a step too far.
EDIT: To be clear, I chose Elementalist because I figured it was the one that could get reverted while being the least likely to signal the return and domination of Galakrond Shaman. I realize most people hate shaman right now, but its not fair to take the whole archetype away. Shaman was hit with a TON of nerfs. Maybe not Elementalist, but something should get walked back.
I think it's also interesting to note that Year of the Raven only had 6 cards nerfed in total. Two of which were reversions of previous buffs. Which cards aren't getting reverted might be a better question. I think Giggling Inventor is one. Maybe Raiding Party is the second? Extra Arms? Hard for me to say.

The Most Picked Minions by Tavern Tier in Hearthstone's Battlegrounds
Shouldnt come as a surprised the murloc tidehunter and Brann's there. Murloc builds are insane in this current meta for BG.
Cobalt Guardian is the only reason why mech is playable now, so no surprise there.
Defender of Argus is surprising though, since taunts are more strategic in BG. I think there are better cards available than that card to be honest.

Defender of Argus was a bit of a surprise, but I guess it makes sense to have a neutral (meaning, a non-tribe card) as the most popular pick.

You are crazy if you think they'd revert Undertaker.

I was agreeing that Reckless Experimenter is one of the most likely candidates, along with my reasoning for thinking that.

Still going to be insane but suffer late game.
Keep the +3 but have it trigger at the start of combat and not affect tokens
