I kept a prep I opened a few weeks ago in anticipation of this.
Hunter just replaces rogue now.

Can't say I'm surprised Rogue got hit so hard. When you give a class a single set that powerful it's sort of inevitable.
Warrior should have gotten hit harder though.

The archivist Nerf just seems like quality of life and will have absolutely zero impact on any warrior matchups.
It will probably make the decks with that card better because they won't waste a spot with banker, lol.
True.
People on Reddit are complaining that the person going second now has a major advantage in the mirror because they can coin out the banker.
If you still play banker just for the times you can maybe coin it out against another control deck your greed knows no bounds.
I'm fine with everything except for the Prep nerf. Why must us meme thief lackey Rogues suffer for everyone who abuses meta decks? :(
5 Mana Sprint sounds painful
Just get rid of cancer like Token Druid and Murloc Shamans next and give Druids something else viable to play.

Miscreant - perfect nerf.
Raiding Party - not sure it needs a nerf alongside prep.
Archivist - probably should be 10
Prep - damn stupid insistence on keeping basic cards in standard forever ruins another S-Rank card. Hall of fame it for a year then rotate it back in when there aren't a couple rogue spells completely broken by a 3 mana discount.

Can't believe they're finally nerfing Prep, love it. The other changes seem individually minor, but will be great all together. Very excited for Thursday.
In other news, I'm on Chapter II of the Dalaran Heist and really enjoying it, moreso than the past single player content. I already am thinking about repeat runs with Heroic, Anomaly, and unlocking other hero powers. Comparably, I've had little to no desire to replay past single player content after beating it. Has already been well worth the purchase IMO.

I really wish they'd done something to boom or devastators.
You could probably get away with running Brewmaster because there's almost surely going to be a spot where there's a mech worth bouncing.
Lol Wut.

Miscreant should've been 3 health.
Kinda sad about Prep, oh well.
Elysiana should've been 10 but 9 is fine, however whoever has the coin in the mirror has an advantage now.
I thought Raiding Party was fine but whatever
Surprised Wagglepick didn't get hit, but kinda glad it didn't.
I was REALLY hoping Omega Devastator would get hit to 6 mana. I fucking hate Devastator Zilliax combos.

Kinda weird Hunter didn't get anything nerfed. I'm guessing there'll be lots of Bomb and Midrange players coming.
prep nerf is such crap for wild. what's the point of classic and basic set when every playable card in them gets nerfed eventually.....rotate cards in and out of the classic set already ffs and stop nerfing things
Or what if... I know this is crazy... they didn't have a set that permanently stuck around forever and could do things like reprint fun basic cards every so often in a "core" set that comes out say... once every year or two. Like other TCGs have done for years and years. Don't fix it if it ain't broke....
Preparation should have been nerfed sooner to widen Rogue design space.
From G&G, every overvalued (in mana) rogue spell card that did not have the "preparation Tax" was proven to be problematic.
E.g:
Tinker's Sharpsword Oil
Raiding Party
Myra's Unstable element
Those cards were overstatted for their base mana cost and brought to totally overpowered territory alongside Preparation.
Other cases of "Preparation Tax" making a card too fair just because you could prep it:
Thistle Tea
Necrium Vial
WANTED!
However, I would have reduced Sprint and Vanish 1 mana to compensate for the Preparation nerf. Its unlikely these cards will see play now that you cant cheat 3 mana out of them.

Holy shit, new golden legendary coming on June 3rd for everyone. They're also BUFFING a ton of Boomsday cards!
Holy shit, new golden legendary coming on June 3rd for everyone. They're also BUFFING a ton of Boomsday cards!
Between the new single player content a month after release, the card nerfs, and now June card buffs and a free new legendary, I am loving this new stream of content.
they are on a roll lately with these updates..
but in all honesty, I'm extremely surprise with just 1 fact: they are risking buffing cards...
I longed for this day so much, I really wanted them to get some buffs and see if that diversifies the meta.
they are not changing one or 2 cards, they are buffing 18 cards, and some of those changes are really nice.

The note in the post says that SN1P-SN4P is considered a Boomsday card and will rotate with it, so it's still within that set's keywords.
I guess they realized how bad Boomsday was when almost none of the cards were being played, even after the rotation. Should be interesting to see what decks benefit the most from these buffs or what new meta decks might pop up.
Oh dang you're right, my b. Some of these buffs I see making little impact (Flark), others I do (Warrior mechs for obvious reasons). This is exciting nonetheless!
Handbuff mech pally is going to be an s-rank deck after this update.
Does magnetizing a mech count as playing it? If so priest has a turn 5 OTK with snip snap, coppertail imposter, and reckless experimenter.
Not sure about the Warrior buffs. Looking at their Boomsday cards though, only obvious buff would be Rocket Boots to 1-mana. Warrior got a lot of good cards that set.
The Nullifier and Rover buffs are just kinda silly though. Not good enough that those cards will actually be run so it'll just make discover cards better.

Nice surprise, holy shit!
Buffing some of the cards that fell flat from the expansions last year, probably signaling a power level bump in future sets.
Really intrigued by the Paladin and Mage buffs.

Two turn kill.
3 card five Mana two turn kill is still a very big problem though. Not many decks can deal with a stealthed 4/4 mech.
