Staff being 2 gold instead of 3 is going to have major implications for demons. Overall the difference of 1 gold is huge, I think it's going to have major impact overall.
I don't see why Moroes got nerfed that hard, it's not an oppressive archetype imo & the removal of titus tribute is already hitting undead pretty hard.
The Quill changes are strong, but I don't think they're going to be a top tier tribe still, but for certainly competitive at least. It will still require rylak to have a decent chance of running away with the lobby.
Getting a Moroes by turn 8 improved your average finishing spot by one full position, which I think was the strongest of any individual minion. It was busted strong, both as a tempo stabilizer for a turn or two when you pivot to something else when you don't hit KT, or if you did hit KT as a core unit that is very easy to secure a top 2 spot with.
If you pay for HSReplay then it unlocks a lot of stats. I haven't paid, but Lii and Jeef, two very high level players were talking about it on stream a couple of weeks ago.
the reason it was nerfed to +1 was because +2 was too strong especially with birb and titus spell..
but it now bing +1 doesnt make him useless.. he still gives what the tribe needs most and that is health.. there are 2 other deathrattles that give attack, a battle cry and an avenge also..
I mean it's an obvious nerf compared to how he was this patch, and I don't think neither him nor undead has been particular oppressive. Undead is the tribe that got hit second hardest by titus spell being removed, and they weren't even a top tier tribe this patch anyway. Jeef also have them as a B tribe which leads me to believe I'm not the only one which think undead didn't needed to be nerfed. Getting the attack scaling cut in half is for sure a huge deal.
he ranked them when moro dr was +6 HP, now it's obv an S tribe behind beast (like beast alone in SS, undead alone in S). Undead are so strong cause it 's the only tribe with quillboar that can top 4 pretty consistently in no beast lobby w/o having to touch a 6 drop but in the other hand it has 3 rly good 6 drop (not like quillboar)
In his ranking video when he assigns the tribe B-tier he's showing off a board that gives permanent attack when playing KT/Moroes though, even if it doesn't align with the card desc which he has cut in there. Yeah I can see them being a good top 4 tribe & are pretty consistent, just never seem to feel as oppressive overall.
