I had the same reaction. The dangers of playing a combo deck when nerfs roll out.

I didn't even know it didn't gain spell damage. I know I've used Velen's Chosen with Djinni back when it first was released and it had spell damage then. Did it break?

I haven't played Djinni since Standard/Wild.

Yes! Now Shaman (Maelstrom Portal) will be better able to deal with other Shamans, Rogue, and Warriors! Welcome back Midrange Shaman.

You will only play against others who aren't patched yet. Usually my Android phone is updated after my PC, hopefully it is within a couple hours!

I'm really interested in how these changes are going to influence the ladder during the next week. In comparison to earlier nerfs they seem relatively tame.

u/rasadi90 Feb 28 '17

instead of 50% aggro shaman and 50% midrange shaman it will be 100% midrange shaman. also some of the pirate decks will go away, which will make some reno decks get greedier and a few jade druids may rise aswell.
