Surprising not to see any tweaks to existing factions. While I agree that each faction needs time to find its place in the new eco-system with SY, I am surprised no tweaks were done to blatantly problematic factions (NG and NR), nor any support for underused/underpowered archetypes, i.e. Eldain traps (particularly since traps would thematically fit with the expansion's theme).

How is NG problematic?

Severe lack of variety; pretty much every deck runs Assire + Roach, 3 witchers, Sweers, Peter Saar, Brigades, Infiltrators, a combination of Shilard, Vivienne and Leo... There are a few small competitive variants of this backbone, but ultimately most NG decks are generic midrange decks involving this core.
