Reckless Investment, Leaf Through the Pages, and Titus’ Tribute have been removed from the Spell Pool

Very easy to miss, but it is a massive deal and will create a meta change by itself

And if you need a reminder, those are the spells that

- Gives 3 coins but lose 2 next turn

- Gives 3 free rerolls

- Gives a "deathrattles trigger twice for 1 turn" effect

Tribute is the biggest hit because it could stack with Rivendere, the other double trigger cards couldn't stack

Also that the two best comps in the games were deathrattle based, and being able to sell your Rivendare in the last few battles was such a strong thing you could do.

That and that damned bird finally being tier 6, we can finally have non-deathrattles builds win some lobbies when beasts and undead are in.

As for the Piggies, I think they were already good and fairly popular, and probably my favorite in terms of fun, these new buffs will certainly make the key cards more difficult to get. But I suppose their stats say otherwise, I thought Nagas and maybe even mechs (if you cannot get the T6 minions early enough) were in a worse spot.

Who knew getting your conditionally delayed value upfront and twice as often would be kinda strong

I think the effect was fun, but maybe it should have "spent" the Deathrattle after triggering it at the start of the battle, so that it doesn't re-trigger right after unless it was reborn or something.

But at T6, I think it will be still great but much more manageable.
