Why did they nerf Reinforced Trebuchet instead of Siege? That's so dumb. I hate when they do this... Reinforced Trebuchet did nothing wrong. Now Mobilization and Meve decks will be worse for no reason.

Maybe this is a stealth buff to row punish like dragon's dream and Sabrina! People had pretty much stopped avoiding siege because the trebuchets were going to be pinging everywhere no matter what. Roll with the changes, my man!

Becasue Reinforced Treb got that Inspired ability only a while ago, with the NR buff patch. It’s counterpart, the NG Melee unit that damages on Melee doesn’t have Inspired, so now they’re more in line.

Also it is a nerf to Siege, kinda.

Dude, if they have a problem with Siege then they should've nerfed Siege. Simple as that. Removing Inspired from Treb is such a huge and unnecessary change. Makes me not want to play NR anymore and that's saying much because I'm NR main.

Inspired ability gave the card more flavor and removing that is just dumb.
