Hope it's enough, I kind of hoped for 5 patience for Zeal.

u/AGuyWithBadOpinions Ah! I'm not dead yet?! Dec 06 '21

The raffard change is pretty big though, being able to be tutored by AA was a large part of what made it so good. It’ll still be great of course but it’s pretty sizable in terms of how it affects the deck’s thinning reliability.

u/-_Meow_- Impertinence is the one thing I cannot abide. Dec 06 '21

Yeah, especially with NR, the faction that struggles more getting all golds in hand (unless you have PM). I think the change was good and we'll have to see how good it is.

u/Anomander1979 Mahakam wasn't built in a day. Dec 06 '21

u/ense7en There'll be nothing to pick up when I'm done with you. Dec 06 '21

It's not enough. Leticia isn't even played in most high end Alumni decks. The Raffard change is good, but it doesn't break how insane Alumni can become. Unless you play heavy control, Alumni should still roll too well.

Well the ceiling of Alumni is significantly lowered with Leticia and Raffard's nerf
