When the 20.0 patch goes live later this month, there'll be a number of nerf reverts. This is before content unlock/rotation, so for a short period of time there will be a very interesting Standard meta. When considering reverts for 2021, we also considered future rotations. 1/4

      @GW_Alec How often will you guys reveal those unnerfs?

        @FroggyHSxD Will do it over the next few days

    Could a card come back into Standard? We chose to softly revert those, as we'd like to avoid cards shifting between two costs or statlines each year. This will be the case for cards like Mana Wyrm or Flametongue Totem. They'll be back one day! 2/4

      Another factor was looking at the level of positivity a revert brings to the Wild environment. Adding power to already strong archetypes wasn't high on our list so you won't see cards like Level Up being reverted this year. Want these reverts to enable you to play old decks. 3/4

        Here's a batch for today. DH gets none, so we'll do Druid, Hunter, and Mage. Full revert unless noted. Druid: Keeper of the Grove Ancient of War Hunter: Starving Buzzard Flare Dinotamer Brann Hunter's Mark (costs 1) Mage: Mana Wyrm (1 mana, 1/2) Conjurer's Calling Dragoncaster

            @GW_Alec Hi I'm not sure if you can say yet, but is a Boggspine Knuckles revert possible? Especially now that we know Dread Corsair is leaving Standard along with Desert Hare and Hoard Pillager

              @xtuliop Will be holding off on reverting some of the nerfs done this last year. After Barrens launch, we’ll evaluate where those classes are.

            As part of this Wyrm Weaver moves down to a 4 mana, 3/5 and summons two 1/2 Mana Wyrms.

            @GW_Alec For Ancient of Lore, is the Health restored nerf also reverted? So does it go back to 8? Cause that one happened real early.

            @GW_Alec All great choices. Are these all for these classes or is there still some debate going on?

          @GW_Alec Wait, so starving buzzard will be a 2 mana 2/1 now? Or 2 mana 2/2?

          • HS_Alec
            Posted 4 years, 6 months ago (Source)
            @imik_plays 2/1

          @GW_Alec Hey Alec! Thanks for this information. For Buzzard, it was nerfed a couple times, does, “Full revert” mean it’s going all the way back to a 2 mana 2/2? Or rather the state it was before its last nerf, a 2 mana 2/1?

          • HS_Alec
            Posted 4 years, 6 months ago (Source)
            @Hectic_HS 2 mana 2/1, not considering the before release versions here.
