19.2.1 Balance Update - Nerfs to Edwin VanCleef, Boggspine Knuckles and Elistra the Immortal (Battlegrounds) - January 8
I honestly don’t know what they’re thinking. These nerfs do absolutely nothing without buffing all the trash classes… The weapon nerf specifically seems really ineffective
Reborn Mech Paladin - Saviors of Uldum - Top 300 Legend (Dekkster)
Whelps are very good against warrior. Warriors can usually handle 2 eggs if they play properly but if you add whelps it gets much harder for them to remove everything. Since the main reason to plag quest paladin is the warrior matchup i think it makes sense
Faceless Rager
This is better than the other ragers but bad nonetheless. Too unreliable

That’s why i wrote “draw” and not draw.
I merely used the same word as Gigante
Archivist Elysiana
Gigante is thinking of the wrong elise (the trailblazer). She does “draw” 5 cards but we’re all talking about the other elise here

When did you start playing HS? I’m asking because this game has already had a meta where fatigue scenarios were frequent. Control warrior used to win like that (and ran elise, which is comparable to this new card).
That’s what happens when infinite value doesn’t exist
Archivist Elysiana
This is pretty much only playable as a tech in fatigue control matchups (it’s reminiscent of the first elise). I like it
Hench-Clan Hag
I don’t know… that kind of stats on turn 5 are really easy to trade into

You’re mentioning combos now, which would require the minion to still be alive (so that spell was already in your deck and not pulled by it). :p
I’m not saying it’s a bad card (still better than nothing if no better cards are revealed) but it’s (IMO) overrated.
Shimmerfly
You’re right, I didn’t write it correctly. However, my point is still valid. Everyone has pulled those but it doesn’t make it worse. That’s just how rng works. The difference is the pool of cards it pulls from
Shimmerfly
I’m not thinking about silence becayse that would almost always be wasted on this card. One of the upsides of macaw is that if you draw it kater in the game yku can simply play it and then play what it gives you. You can’t do that with this card, which makes it a very bad draw in the mid and lategame
Shimmerfly
Comparing it to jeweled macaw, random hunter spells on average are worse than random hunter minions. On top of that, macaw has battlecry while this has deathrattle…
I don’t like it very much
Plot Twist
I was waiting for your comments. You usually are the most objective one in here. I’m relieved you think it that way, too lol
edwin isn’t the only card that makes rogue strong and the weapon having 1 less damage doesn’t influence the deck that much since they can generate a stupid amount of stats with all the minions they create anyway
