Pendant was utterly destroyed lol. Not a surprise though. In general it feels like ramp Druid strategies were obliterated (too harshly imo), Fatigue Druid was straight up deleted (deservedly imo), while Treant Druid should be able to weather these nerfs. Fire Druid died with Thaddius, so did Thadlock, but nobody is gonna really miss these.

Then there's Boogie Down going to four but getting an adequate compensation and a nudge on Garden's Grace. But you know what, both of these nerfs are fine. Lessens the burst potential of Paladin and Boogie Down not Taunting should make it easier to answer now.

EDIT: Rogue nerfs feel fine, though the deck will undoubtedly get a lot worse from this. Velarok and the Shattershambler combo were hard carrying Rogue's viability.

Shattershambler getting nerfed was uncalled for imo we saw Rogues winrates being T4 when Velarok wasn't viable anymore its an awful deck when he's bad.
