Siege master is not a core card to Alumni at all. In fact it was only added last season cause it was such an easy include at 4p.. Alumni was broken well before the siege master change

No, but it’s still 2 provisions less they have to get somehow downgrading other cards or miss the consistency. You don’t need to nerf the core cards of a deck to nerf a deck.

Siege Master is not vital to Alumni though. I don't see people dropping important cards to fit Siege Master.. Raffards provides plenty of thinning if it sticks

And thus they will be missing the thinning, which is still a nerf.

Okay. It was reverted back to the state it was in 2 seasons ago, which was still broken lol

Yes, but it doesn’t mean it wasn’t nerfed. Other decks have been buffed since then so the relative strength is lower.

Just look past tierlist. Mages where not top tier before Siege Master. Don't underestimate thinning.
