      @AlecoGereco I just have a question: you’re nerfing unfun cards like alignment, but you’re buffing shit that promotes the most frustrating and uninteractive deck in the format, aka miracle rogue. I get that rogue has to be playable but please let others enjoy the game too.

        @silviozlatan What is your question exactly?

          @AlecoGereco If we’re balancing cards to improve the gaming experience and not necessarily due to their power, why did you choose to buff that much rogue when it could mean a rise in popularity of miracle rogue? I know the deck is absolute garbage right now 1/2

            @AlecoGereco But the last 2 deathrattle-abusing rogue decks (mine and miracle) are two solo decks that are incredibile frustrating to play against, so I think that nobody is excited to queue into hs and having to wait forever to see their opp activating 40 coins per turn and then otking.

              @silviozlatan We were pretty confident that the Rogue buffs we did wouldn't be major improvements Mine rogue. I also discussed in the twitlonger how the timing on the patch was slightly awkward for us, which was a contributing factor in this case.

      @AlecoGereco Any thoughts on priest? Priest not getting nerfed is always a plus but why no buffs? People like to point out naga priest, stating its very powerful but the fact is its a very boring deck and doesn't see much play. Any plans to buff priest in the future? Feel a little left out

        @AlecoGereco They legit don't like the class and this is proof. Not a single change

          @Nicky61291655 I understand that you're passionate about Priest, but this isn't remotely true and it makes me sad to read comments like this. I love Priest and have been doing a lot of work on the class in future expansions which I'm really excited for Priest fans to see.

        @Nicky61291655 Naga Priest is good right now, so the class had at least one playable option while the classes we buffed couldn't quite say the same. With limited time to work on patches this made Priest a lower priority this time around, but that doesn't mean the same will be true next time.

      @AlecoGereco I have to ask, we're any other cards besides Kobald illusionist thought about regarding wild only nerfs.

        @MemnarchHs We also discussed banning Illuminate or Neptulon, but we ultimately decided that these cards didn't quite meet the high bar set for bans in the format.

      @AlecoGereco You could start the process of reverting edwin now surely if you realise it was a mistake? Have the patch out in a few days?

        @ZoggHS Reverting Edwin soon would have to be done as an emergency patch, which isn't easy for the team. I really don't think we're at an emergency patch state with this card yet.
