Comments
All around pretty good changes. Kind of funny how over time Mama Bear and Goldrinn just kind of switched places. I wonder if in the next patch or so Goldrinn will get his stats changed to 5/5.
Rip Murlocs. Unless they add Scalelord later that tribe is probably dead.
Thank god Cannon is gone, that was such an overly annoying turd.
Also how much are they gonna buff Reno? Guess getting a guaranteed golden Brann/Rivendare isn't good enoug unless it's for free
Is there any way to replace megasaur in future so that murlocs will be viable without becoming OP again? I was thinking scalelord as it doesn't offer mass poison but guaranteed divine shield also seems problematic
All the changes seem fair. Gentle Megasaur being removed may not be "fair", because now i don't think we'll see any murloc comps out there, but it's so good to see that exodia comp being removed!!
Patch notes show Gentle Megasaur and Arcane Cannon removed, too.
Sorry about that, I've updated the post
Omg, i had to go to the official site to read it... fucking amazing!!! No more fucking murlocs exodia comp!! Damm is going to feel good to play BG next week!! So fucking happy!!
