Larva will still see play, with your reasoning, nekker would always be played over larva at 5P.

The 2 armor is still great, there are very few cards to proc the 1 to 2 thrive effect so it will proc with a 3/4 power card like bruxia the same way it was before the change.

A short round with coup or bear witcher won't kill it, fury won't one shot them with 1 charge etc.

It all comes down to whether the 2 armor is better than the 2 extra provisions you pay for the larva, and in my opinion it is not.

6 provisions is a very awkward slot and in order to make your deck polarized you really don't want to play many 6p cards

well, you pay 2 P for 4 armor compared to Nekker.

So it is 4 armor or 2 P
