metroid composite 05/22/19 12:38:36 AM #491:	HanOfTheNekos posted... Not sure why the warrior mechs needed buffing... Because literally no one includes them in decks? Like, yeah, they can be obnoxious when disovered from Dr. Boom, but it wouldn't surprise me if they have plans to nerf Dr. Boom. The Warrior mechs are still so weak you don't put them in decks. Among the cards being buffed... Gloop Sprayer is in 7% of Druid decks. Pretty sure this is just intended as a buff to Lucentbark Druid. Mulchmuncher is in 6% of Druid decks. There's lots of different ways of building token druid, and Mulchmuncher basically excludes Crystalsong Portal so...it probably doesn't power up the archetype as a whole, just adds another common build of it. Necromechanic is in 1% of Hunter decks. This buff is definitely big though. It's now like a 3/6 taunt for 4 mana, so basically it's another Houndmaster Shaw. Flark's Boomzooka is in 0.1% of Hunter decks and I doubt that changes much. Unexpected Results is in 0.4% of Mage decks, and this I could see changing a bunch. I don't even think you need spellpower, just two 2-drops for 3 mana is a pretty good rate, and it's a fairly cheap spell to go with apprentice and cyclone. Luna's Pocket Galaxy is in 0.8% of Mage decks. I don't think this number goes up dramatically but the decks get quite a bit stronger. Crystology is in 56% of Paladin Decks. There's no way to read this other than being a blatant massive buff to Paladin, and I think this might even go into Wild decks like Odd Pally. Glowstone Technician is in 15% of Paladin Decks. To be clear, it probably shouldn't be, just Kibler made it popular. At 5 mana, though, maybe there's something there. Extra Arms is in 5% of Priest decks, although TBH I think a good chunk of those are probably whizbang decks. Better Blessing of Kings sounds good, though. Cloning Device is in 2.3% of Priest decks. This is basically entirely Whizbang decks, and even at 1 mana this card is probably garbage. Pogo Hopper is in 1.3% of Rogue decks. I mean, Pogo Hopper is still Pogo Hopper, and I don't think it costing 1 changes the deck much. Does mean it's easier to tutor, and potentially relevant is that it works with Magic Carpet now, so that's neat. Violet Haze is in 0.2% of Rogue decks. TBH, this would be a much more reasonable card to reduce to 1 mana. (Crystology, really?) But then again, obviously they want to nerf Rogue and buff Paladin so. Violet Haze is still hot garbage. The storm bringer is in 2.2% of Shaman Decks (most of these are Whizbang decks). TBH, I don't have high hopes for this card in Standard, but in wild? Yeah, I'll be testing it in Even Shaman. Thunderhead is in 15.3% of Shaman Decks. This is another one of those "clearly they wanted to buff the class". But worth noting, as good as this card is, there's a lot of shaman decks that don't run it--you need to commit a bunch of cards to an overload package. This is another one of those 3/6 taunts for 4 now, like Houndmaster Shaw. Spirit Bomb is in 0.3% of Warlock decks. At 1 mana...I think the comparison is pre-nerf Rockbiter Weapon, 1 more damage when removing minions, but can't go face or be used on your own minions. I think the "can't go face" and "can't avoid the self-damage" sink this in different decks, but it probably doesn't have a home. Dr. Morrigan is in 2.2% of Warlock decks. Pretty sure these are Whizbang (or Zayle?) decks. At 6 mana it's better Cairne Bloodhoof if it pulls a 4/5. Security Rover in 1% of Warrior decks. Beryllium Nullifier in 0.6% of Warrior decks. I suspect again most of these would be from Whizbang decks. That probably won't change much. --- Cats land on their feet. Toast lands peanut butter side down.
