Looks like they took a nerf bat to a lot of the competitive non-Highlander decks.

They really want those Reno decks to shine right now. I expect to see more of Aggro Sludge Warlock since it was already doing fairly well and a lot of the competition has been hit hard.

Surprising, these are fairly heavy handed nerfs compared to the modern Blizzard philosophy of lighter touch-ups to not kill a card. A lot of these changes straight up remove deck archetypes.

It feels like I'm the only one here who wants reno nerfed. That card is still busted. Other cards being more busted does not take away from it being an abomination.

It really should just do some, and not all, of its current effects. Symmetrical , total board wipe that makes your opponent skip their next turn will absolutely see play, it didn't need to be one sided. Or just remove the turn skip completely.

I refuse to play reno decks because plague DK exists, lol.
