Let's address the mecha-elephant in the room: Why did we change so many minions into Mech/Beasts in the latest patch? In 25.0, we added dual-type minions and adjusted several minions in Standard and Wild to fit the new dual-type world. (1/4) https://t.co/GFwd7vWeUv

At the time, we did not make cards like Spider Bomb or Ursatron Mech/Beast and kept them as just Mechs. After all, they're Mechs made in the image of Beasts, not "real" Beasts. BUT, we DID make cards like Lightray or Arcanosaur Elemental/Beast. (2/4) https://t.co/sGCxWrJMeh

Thing is, Lightray and Arcanosaur aren't "real" Beasts either. They're just Elementals that take the shape of Beasts. Because of this, we re-evaluated how we wanted to treat cards like Ursatron to be consistent with our new dual-type ruling on cards like Lightray. (3/4)

With dual-type minions being a brand new thing, we want to be as consistent as we can with the rules around it. We do see that some changes are having bigger effects on decks than others and will keep a watchful eye out for minion dual-type synergies in future sets. (4/4)
