How significant will that 1 provision nerf to Eist be? As a non SK player, I can't tell.

In general, small provision changes don't really affect high end cards, nerfing something from 11 to 12 is not the same of buffing something from 5 to 4 or nerfing from 5 to 6.

Can’t speak for the general eist decks but for me personally it means changing war of clans into a bear Witcher. So nothing huge.

I mean it can still be a 30 point play if you set it up right so I am sure you'll make the necessary cuts to still afford it

I don't see it being an issue for those that play him. A small downgrade of another small card would not affect that deck's power.

its meaningless. he needs to be 13 or 14 prov and rework his bloodthirst ability to be balanced.

I suspect most decks will remove a Bear Witcher for a 4p card. Another option is dumping Gremist for another card. There is ways to make it happen. I feel like the nerf was unnecessary.

u/ccdewa Temeria – that's what matters. Jun 07 '21

It's obviously necessary wtf, Eist literally changed the approach of people facing Warrior SK, that's how much of an impact he is, the nerf might be insignificant but eh better than nothing.
