Druid, Mage & Hunter Rotating Cards Nerf Reverts Announced + Changes to Wyrm Weaver

Game Designer Alec Dawson has just announced some of the nerf reverts (for cards rotating out of Standard) planned for Patch 20.0. Keep in mind that the patch will release a few days BEFORE expansion’s release and rotation, which means that for a few days we’ll still have the current meta, just with multiple card changes. It should be really interesting!

For now, nerf reverts for 3 classes were announced. More will be announced tomorrow.

Current version is on the left side, unnerfed version is on the right side.

Druid

 

 

Hunter

 

 

 

 

Mage

Note: Mana Wyrm nerf is only partially reverted – it’s now a 1 mana 1/2. The reason is that the card is very likely to come back to Standard at one point. Wyrm Weaver, a card that will remain in Standard (since it’s from Scholomance), is also getting changed because changing Mana Wyrm to 1/2 effectively nerfs it.

    Hunter’s mark should cost 0 if you revert the nerf. And even if it were at 0 hunter it’s still bad in wild.

    Omg, RIP whizzbang. The power spike to wild and the power drop in standard will make my dearest golden gnome even more underpowered… amazing tears

    I wonder if this will be enough to finally give Hunter some consistently viable Wild archetypes at last? The prospect of actual card draw makes me want to dig out Vereesa and string together some kind of midrange Maly hunter, although a more traditional straight beast build is probably still much better.

          Just a fun deck I built before with only charge dinosaurs as beast, where you can pull them out from your deck and hand. Where dire frenzy in some cases can give a quick refill (after a simple mana reduction). As I said just a fun charge that can surprise your opponent, but now I can play it again.
