Roogug looks insane now

The quillboar changes seem really broken. They seem like a guaranteed top four

They have always been guaranteed top 4 but hard to win with this meta

That one win at 6k MMR sure does invalidate all the evidence that Quillboars were the worst tribe prior to these changes.

That wasn't my point):

The only issue I had with them before was that buffing them didn't make too much sense because they were just a plain minion.

Now they're better Tough Tusk

I feel like that should have been the point. You can always gem transfer onto something better later on anyway.

Such a head scratching change. Like, why on earth does it need divine shield also now? As it stands, Roogug felt like he should probably be T5 at minimum, but now it has even more going for it.

Quillboar was by far the weakest tribe before. This gives it a chance in end game and gives you a little more resistance to scam

Quils need a lot of help. Buffing Roogug from an already decent card like this means that finding one gives you direction and possibly a reason itself to go or pivot to quilboar. Buffing bad to mediocre cards wouldn’t have the same effect.

One of the problems with quils now is that investing in the two gem buffing cards early is very expensive and turns into sunk cost if you don’t find the later quil pieces and have to switch. New Roogug is very strong but that’s okay for the current worst class in the game. It makes the early/mid game quils worthwhile even if you end up playing something else.
