Reverting nerfs on cars that used to be classic and are now not in core is understandable. Reverting nerfs from 5 years ago on cards that are only in wild does not as much. No one asked for changes to Undertaker, even though its not really as much as an issue as it was during Naxx. I get that balancing a format with all cards ever made is very difficult, but some of these nerfs made sense, and still be. It just brings up concerns if wild is going to be a fun format with legacy cards that sometimes create a few unbalanced power spikes, or a dumping ground for broken cards to unleash degenerate playstyles.

Stonekeep covered this in their article yesterday https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/key-cards-rotating-out-in-2021-year-of-the-gryphon-part-2-demon-hunter-druid-hunter-mage-paladin/. Kayn is not one of the DH cards rotating out, it just must have been a mistake.

hey, when you say, ” Kor’vas Bloodthorn, a pretty clear replacement for Kayn Sunfury”, did i miss something? Kayn is from AoO, which will be in standard for another year. So both of them will playable in standard during Gryphon, no?
