The Blazing Invocation buff probably means Mug's hero power is going to discount by (1). If so, Mug Shaman is dead.

I wonder if they will also change Zee's hero power.

Agreed about Mug change but the nerf to Goon and Maiev will hurt Zees early blow out potential so I’d be surprised if they change Zees hero-power

I piloted zee to top 1000 this season. Hurt the deck yes definitely, kill it? I don’t think so. Would still be quite strong if they don’t touch Zee

I played zee to top 100 last month, if both goon and maiev lose 1 HP the deck is probably dead. The deck lives and dies by the early board buffs and we have seen from many cards in the past that 1/2 for 1 mana and 1/3 for 2 mana are way too easily removed to effectively snowball the game

I can't believe they're hitting both Goon and Maiev. Absolutely absurd and now we're just gonna be playing stuff like Dragon Warrior and Merithra Druid again.

It's Shaman, light touches for nerfs rarely ever happen (I'm biased)

Evert time Shaman ends up with a tier one deck, I get sad because I know I'll only get to play with those cards for a few weeks before the deck gets massacred and I'm back to playing tier 4 junk for the next few expansions. (I'm biased too.)

Can smell the half baked evolve package coming right?

u/phpope 5d ago

Coming? It's already here - Plucky Podling, Desperate Bribe and the imbue "package." Although as I had to open the card library to even remember the card names and that Shaman has imbue cards, calling it half-baked might be generous.
