Holy shit those are some changes. Like, I heard about the Illucia and Kael'thas already. Regis had a video up. I don't think the Illucia one does much, but Kael'thas is now probably an acceptable level of broken.
But those battlegrounds notes are really something.
Removing megasaur and cannon is great. The game was devolving into if you could find those two minions or not. And cannon never feels good -- to play with or against.
Primalfin going to 4 is weird. It means murlocs have something on 4 rather than a big jump from 3 to 5, but without anything to care about on six. (I doubt they really care for Amalgadon.)
Mama Bear is back to +4, but now it's on tier 5, which just feels a whole hell of a lot better. This on 5 and Goldrinn on 6 makes so much more sense than the other way around. By the time you get Mama, you have to replay all your beasts to get any mileage, which means you basically have to upend your hold comp. Now at least it's more reasonable to do that. Not sure about the other beast flip-flop with Rat Pack and Pack Leader, but Pack Leader hitting early is good for the same reason as Mama.
New Pagle strikes me as trash. I mean, sure, it can generate for you, which fits with pirates' economy theme, but the reason you want Pagle is to give your board increased longevity, like boat or ghastcoiler. Pagle was a bad boat that had the pirate type. Now he's...I don't know what, honestly. Weird Rafaam hero power?
Eudora -- probably toast. I didn't think Eudora needed a nerf, honestly, but this will kill the old strategy of dig on 1. It also means you're lucky to get two golden minions from her by game's end.
Reno and Lich King on 0 make them a lot more attractive. Especially Reno, which was originally believed to be worth 4 gold, and has gradually been dropped to 3, 2, and now free. I imagine turn 1 Wrath Weaver starts to look really nice now. As so deathrattle comps in Lich King. An early Kaboom Bot or Spawn of N'Zoth is going to be massive.
