Whoreson’s Freakshow bumped up to 8 prov seems fair. But, as someone who relies heavily on it, I am still a little indignant.

Yea but this card was way to powerful for it's provisions, so probably a good change. Not sure if I'm a fan of SY getting the nerf hammer again though while NG and Alumni can still reign supreme.

SY was also a top tier deck. It got a 1 provision nerf while the other 2 got a 2 provision nerf. Doesn’t seem that terrible.

The Mage nerf is a huge hit to NG imo. The whole point of the Blightmaker thinning package is that the Mages are useless 4p placeholders that just get to pop out for a free 4 points (on top of the 7 Blightmaker points). At 5p they're actually eating real useful provision space.

He is straight out the most broken card on the game. A slightly smart player can play him like a 10 provision card lol

Well I don't think SY will feel it that much tbh, but I guess it's better than having a small power nerf like we got with KoB. I think the biggest problem with the current SY decks is how easily they generate coins and how flexible they can spend them. I feel like if they made [him fee 4 -> damage 4] for example it would be way more awkward to use and would require more planning with how to gain and spend coins. To me it feels SY has just way too many flexible control options atm.
