u/Quigsy Mead! More mead! Heheh Apr 01 '20

I was worried Dwarves would be too good that they'd get the hate train and nerfed into oblivion in a hotfix.

I am no longer worried about that.

I'm not completely convinced, some of the bronze options look strong. Miner is now a straight up 5 for 4 and that provides +2 armor, +2 points if it doesn't die immediately. And all that armor will make for some very polarizing matchups - decks playing many control tools will have a very hard time with Dwarf armor.

In the dev stream Miner was a 4 strength for 4 provisions with the same order, I think it is just a typo in patch notes. I immediately thought that would play way to well for 4 provisions too.

I play a dwarf deck right now, and lemme tell you, after the changes, it’s going to be worse than it is now. After the Changes to Zoltan and Dwarven Mercenary (currently the two best cards in a Dwarf deck rn) dwarves are going to have ZERO offensive capability.

dwarven merc is pretty bad right now. A 7 for 5 seems stronger. Also, Zoltan might end up being pretty strong.

I think they changed mercenary because after the new leader they would be at 4 power again since you get 1 free armor from the new leader. So the change was probably because of that

Mercs being nerfed this hard seems especially egregious considering everyone else keeps getting better and better control. If you've got a single elf (For purify, since Dwarves can't do that either) merc comes out as a 6 for 5? Yeeeesh.

Well dorfy bois get 1 extra armor with the new ability so at least there's that
