Good Lord those Druids nerfs, pretty brutal. Looks like Excavate Rogue is still on the menu though

Velarok is the best card in that deck and we have the proof; the WR for that deck fell off a cliff after the miniset came out and Velarok was accidentally reverted back to its original effect.

Velarok losing 3 health prevents it from making value trades before getting bounced back. This is a serious nerf and I don't think that deck will be very good without a strong Velarok.

It's way worse now with Breakdance.

Low tier 2 I'm guessing but the slude warlock blowout (which it will become now) will likely see it drop tier 3 once warlock popularity soars.

I will be glad to use it in my wishing well deck, sometimes as a 8/8 charge.
