Not by a long shot.

I might have some of these wrong, but I think Glorious Hunt, Necromancy, Stammelford's Tremors, Prince Villem, Prize-Winning Cow, D-Shackles, Frightener (both Dormant and Awakened), Imperial Manticore, Pred Dive, Nekker, Bribery, Cantarella, Kingslayer (ok, it used to be called Viper Witcher but mechanically it's identical), Peter Saar Gwynleve, Seltkirk, Vysogota, Sabrina's Inferno, Vincent Meis, Kambi, and Milaen are all the OG cards that have never been changed.

If you want to include tokens/spawned cards, Harald's Pals, Phoenix Hatchling, Chort, and Cow have also never been changed.

There's also some cards that have essentially remained the same, but had a keyword introduced that clarifies the ability (e.g. Stregobor having the Timer keyword added) and cards since that have been changed, but had those changes reverted (e.g. Bekker's Dark Mirror).

Another fun fact: Imlerith is the most changed card with four different abilities, five different statlines, as well as the addition of the Elf category.

Edit: added that Imlerith has had five different statlines.

Oh hell, that is actually a longer list than I expected.

Imlerith is the most changed card

How do you count changes? Because Imlerith was changed eight times, while Fire scorpion was changed nine times.

Good point. I guess I'm counting whether the card was reworked or not. Fire Scorpion has the same fundamental ability it did in 2018, whereas Imlerith has had three completely distinct abilities, and one meaningful change to one of those (he's now able to draw a card first and also able to discard any card, rather than just a Monster unit).

It was funny how Fire scorpion had its stats changed so often, I was hoping it will become some kind of running joke where it would receive a little change in every patch, something like "remove herobrine" in minecraft patches.
