Brann should be nerfed to: for the rest of the game your battlecries trigger twice, also replace your hand with 10 injured blademasters.
For the rest of the game, your charge minions have plus 1 attack. Very OP.
Thats a really good idea: With this change I could finally build a OP Enrage sucidal Highlander Warrior :D
KEK it's warrior... they have hand cheat... you don't want charging injured blademasters...
Gonna be wild to see how the mini set doesn't change the meta.
It will probably have cards that will see play, but it will not change the meta, it will be the same decks still...
Part scraper
@@bludhuuntr4946 Those holy cards will probably see play too
Pain lock gets a bit more cards and mech warrior may be a thing
Druid will get a bit more play
This changes nothing imo. Against aggro, Warrior either has the tools early or doesn't, Brann isn't even a factor. In control matchups, the extra 2 cost won't move the needle at all, the game comes down to late game value and the fact that Tho'grun just nukes your deck. You want to nerf Warrior? Put steam cleaner, or a version of it at least, back in standard so there's some form of counterplay beyond playing dirty rat and praying to RNGesus.
nah, warrior can often win aggro by yolo dropping brann on 6, when they couldn't remove the whole board anyway, and play something like brawler on the following turn. after that, the game is solved for them, they either zilliax or excavate to seal the game. without brann active, neither play can just outright win vs deck like zarimi priest. and in control matchup it's also obviously huge that the cost is 2 more, gives other control decks (which there are none tbf) 2 more turns to rat/pressure, something like HL shaman (if it was any good) could be doing stuff like wish upon a twin star and spawning 4/4, 5/5 frogs by that point, making brann much harder to play at 8.
@@dasdasdiamlasdasdsada9717 If your entire play vs a full board on turn 6 is to drop brann, you'd be dead to any paladin on 7.
@@BrandonPoirierBlair i meant "couldn't remove the whole board" as "couldn't remove all of the minions" not "there was a full board", mb maybe worded wrong
warrior doesnt change at all tbh. Cuz in control matchups it can even cost 10 mana and it still shits on everything.
In aggro matchups warrior doesnt even use brann at all
Yep, even without a Brann the Warrior has to much utility and good value cards he can use. Brann just increased what is already 11/10 to 12/10.
In aggro matches, they use it for Zilliax though.
@@zorinzorinzorin5243can still technically curve into 9 mana I guess but obviously it much worse
@@zorinzorinzorin5243and it still curves perfectly into Zilliax so what’s your point?
So it helps the midrange decks that are killing warrior but then start to lose and snowball after bran is played. Gives us 2 more turns to kill them
Wait, the Horseman unfreezing after finding his head was a BUG? But his head is all firey and stuff 😂
It was an intended bug
My guess is that finding his head counted as you becoming a new hero, which unfreezes you.
With this being not intentional.
SO NO HEAD?!?!
@@blazerashbringer2001breaks skateboard*
Honestly, at 8 mana brann is still gonna see play and it doesn’t address the issue
bruh don't be so sure until the changes come buddy....
It's so problematic it will either see play or it won't, this is no way to actually "balance" it, but I guess it would have been tough to do something for it.
The real take is that Brann isn’t even that problematic on his own. He has one really toxic interaction with boomboss and maybe the ox, the rest of the problem is really just warrior has a ton of good cards that aren’t battlecry minions. Warrior can gain like 10-20 armor before they even hit turn 6 and has tons of great value removal.
Dude, Odin sees little to no play after a one mana nerf.
Lmao brann is dead unless control priest is meta
Brann isn't dead enough.
The change, I still think, should have been "Your first battlecry each turn triggers twice".
"Give your charge minions +1 attack"
@@lucascarpelli1001 No-no-no, that just wrong. "For the rest of the game your Battlecry minions have +1 health" ;)
I think it should have been "Your next 3 Battlecries trigger twice".
That isn't good enough. It still gives them a bunch of Zilliax, and makes a full board with final excavate. Still gives them 6 TNT, and bring back a ton of zilliax.
What if it said "Your Excavates trigger twice" The whole set is about Excavate, his art is all about finding the treasure, and they could keep it at 6 or even lower depending.
The difference between brann and and odyn is, odyn is an 8/8
And he is 9 Mana.
@@locogato3488 i'm talking about when he was 8 mana. It was an 8 mana do nothing, but at least it got a body that was actually a menace
Honestly warrior has enough tools to survive an 8 mana do nothing
Brawl the turn before and play a cheap taunt
@@ignacioperez5479 Which no card should have when it effects the rest of the game.
@@ignacioperez5479 I got it, both have an overpowered effect but Odyn also has decent stats.
Brann needed to be reworked, not just bumped up in mana cost. Lazy change from the devs, though can't say i'm surprised with that 🤷♂️
expecting HS devs to put in effort 😂
Just like you crying not surprised by that
@@dailybestbetswithteemoney3432 warrior main alert
bc brann isnt broken hahaha!!!
The 2 mana increase might just be there to kill the card for now in order to please the players who are upset with Brann.
After some time have passed, maybe Brann would get a rework to make it playable again.
super excited to summon brann on my 10 mana ignis weapon
😂
they could've even done:
for the rest of the game, whenever you battlecry, excavate as well.
Or 'double all excavate battlecries.' which would keep the flavour of Deepminer. I would have included the excavate reward battle cry in there as well. Yes the reward battlecry is rough but I'd take that over three zilliax all day long.
Yeah I wanted to brann do something more unique and flavorfull and i wanted for him to do something like : "Summon a Deep Rock Mine, if your starting deck didn't had duplicate your discover excavate rewards" and DR Mine would be something like Rheastrasza summons "At the start of your turn excavate, your fourth excavate can be reward from ANY class" ofc worded better but basically something that you can put in any deck but works better in highlander (like elise trailblazer)
Your battlecries have +1 attack this game
Your battlecry minions get rush@@ancient7716
I kinda kike this idea. Excavate cards are powerfull, exoecially the warrior legendary one
I find it strange that the dev comment says that these decks/cards have cropped up since the last balance changes, when i found it strange that brann was not nerfed and hunter only had a small nerf in the last balance changes. I would say that both these cards was strong before the last balance change and brann warrior was a problem and hunter was a potential/borderline problem.
Yeah... Before the last balance change, Hunter was T1 and Reno Warrior was T1 despite being held back by Plague DK which was T1 just because it killed Warrior and Wheellock.
They give them a love tap with 1 mana change to 1 card each... And they continued to be T1 as their direct competitors get DESTROYED.
And the devs are surprised?
I wonder how they'll respond in the upcoming balance changes when they might actually do something about these decks after they continue to be T1...
Brann was super strong in Badlands..
For fuck sake, Boomboss saw okay even then. Only halted by Plague DK.
This shit was the most obvious as fuck outcome.
And the fucking fact that they are not even touching Boomboss is actually just retarded. Even more so after all that talk about interactive gameplay. Absolute nonsense, these people are churning out bullshit just to appease their player base and keep them content and buying their portraits. Nothing but pretty buzz-words.
It is becoming clearer with every new update from Blizzard.
The fucking fact that weeklies are still a mess.. the wildest thing is the player base eating it up and allowing them to get away with it. No spine.
They are either stupid or straight up lying. Like everytime when they say: We are happy with the state of the game BUT.. and then there are a lot of changes.
Brann should've been a 4 mana 2/4 that summons a location with 3 charges if your deck started with no duplicates, and each charge triggers your next battlecry twice. Still incredibly strong, stronger against faster decks, and doesn't insta win against other slow decks. And you can counter it by destroying the location.
There should definitely be minions that create locations, for extra theming.
Zeddy , i just want to say a big thank you for your daily Work... Keep going your great stuff. My absolute Favourite hs-youtuber since many years🤝🏻✨
1. The Brann change feels like a bandaid. Not a fix. But it does slow the card down so I'll take it
2. The Twist season *actually* sounds fun and is probably what the mode should have been from the beginning. Looking forward to playing as a solo adventure boss essentially lol
Sound like duels
@@1KingMajinexcept probably easier to balance lol
I hope it's interesting but I've got doubts, pre-built decks, even with cool powerful stuff, will eventually get old for some people, maybe less than a month.
Also it's a bit weird that they don't allow any version of that Legendary character to count for having access to them. We all know which Guff a Wild player is mostly likely to have and it isn't that one.
I'll be giving it a shot though, I have maybe half those Legendaries so I got some stuff to do for a bit.
@@KnownAsKenji It's basically a ranked Tavern Brawl
You play every deck you can once, if that, and that's it
I hope the "unlockable" heroes aren't blatantly stronger than the rest
I played a game recently as Warrior against a warrior
They used Diry Rat and pulled my Brann and on the following turn I threw down Dirty Rat and hit their Brann too. What resulted was one of the best games of Hearthstone I've played in months with Warrior actually feeling like a real control deck with no nonsense
Rarran had a great idea where instead of it just being an aura, you have the ability take up a board space as a dormant minion like the dragon nest so it can at-least be reno'd.
It still feels really bad though because it forces you to play a reno deck as the only way to counter it
It’s needs more interaction
How does the dust refund for diamond brann work if you got the golden miniset?
Brann nerf does very little, still autowin against any control deck.
And I suppose you can't expect more than a cost adjustment in smaller, quick changes.
lol rouge eats warrior in control bud
I'm really excited for the new twist mode! Finially I have a use for all the bad legendaries I couldn't bring myself to disenchant (Or in the case of Nozdormu, willingly crafted for some reason)
Never knew the horseman interaction with freeze + head was a bug
I'm already used to only playing brann after reno, I'm not sure this is a big change, especially because the deck doesn't do much on 8 typically.
I feel that Brann should be reworked into a new version of the OG Rafaam.
"Discover a Powerful Artifact" and you get options of some updated versions of the old "Powerful Artifacts"
That way it's not some dumb infinite value card, it's not being a complete mess of a design (Making ANY battlecry available to Warrior dangerous)
Simply nerfing its cost doesn't do anything if the entire deck is simply revolving around drawing cards and gaining armour until you drop Brann and then drop Boomboss or Azerite Ox.
Making it "First battlecry each turn" doesn't do anything because the deck is simply revolving around playing big battlecries like Boomboss, Zilliax, Dr Boom, Azerite Ox anyway.
Making it "Your next 3 Battlecries trigger twice" just makes it into bad Shudderblock... We already have Shudderblock.
I don't like the idea of reusing Rafaam's Artifacts for Brann, that would be like having Brann summon improved Boom-Bots.
Its just feels wrong.
My new idea for a Brann rework is "Battlecry: If your deck started with no duplicates, Discover 2 Epic Excavate treasures. They cost (0)."
That way it mixes the theme of Excavate and highlander.
Every other class has some way of ending the game what's the big deal that two control matchups the one with more greed wins?
@@KingOfTheDungle Because warrior isnt the one with more greed? It in fact punishes greedy decks and rewards aggro and tempo. Like, have you ever played a value game against TNTs?
@@locogato3488 I never said to reuse Rafaam's artifacts. In fact, I explicitly stated "Updated versions"
So while they might loosely be based on the old "Fill the board with stuff", "Buff a minion" and "Deal damage split between enemies" they won't be the old 10 mana versions.
They'd be new ones. Ones that fit with current hearthstone and make sense for Brann and Warrior.
@@KingOfTheDungle The issue isn't simply "More greed wins"
The issue is that Brann effectively hard counters any other slow deck. Not just edge out control decks, but outright hard counters any slower deck (This includes midrange decks, attrition decks AND control decks)
Brann being uncounterable, "For the rest of the game" simply creates too much power, especially with Boomboss as it creates so much disruption that most decks just crumble once it occurs.
The fact that even greedy Priest decks can ONLY have a chance if they also steal Brann + Boomboss, even if their deck is naturally greedier (Which it normally is, chock full of thief cards and ways to copy Aman'thul) means that it isn't about a greedier deck winning in control mirrors. It's about Brann being a dumb effect that destroys late game strategies.
With saddle up going up to 4 mana it also no longer gets tutor by the hunter legendary as well
Still a good card
They should have made Brann into something like 6 mana, same stats, battlecry: Your next 3 ( or insert number you think is fair ) battlecry minions you play effects trigger twice or something.
The biggest problem is the boomboss brann interaction. Even if it would only say your next battlecry, it would be way too strong.
was about time! thanks for the many updates
The comment from RidiculousHat a few days ago would also seem to suggest that the implementation of the Quest changes is underway but taking longer to pass than expected.
Hopeful that the Quest changes are the tiered sort, that would explain why it took a while for them to do, and would be a very refreshing change.
Like the first battle cry each turn is doubled?
You can get brann from ignis weapon 8 drop pool now. 😅
Brann fix: for the rest of the game, whenever you gain armor your next battlecry triggers twice. This Kind of requires a hero power, which we saw with the quest, but you can chain battlecries that gain armor. Similar but quite a bit weaker
Im gonna dirty rat these warriors so much, i can already see the angry emotes. Control priest is probably back now.
lol control priest easily can hardcounter warrior wth u on
Should I disanchant brann? I didn’t disanchant Odin because I like warrior although I wasn’t playing much of reno warrior because I didn’t have boom boss. So should I disanchant brann?
Disenchant brann once the patch goes live. You can always reenchant him later since the disenchant and enchant cost the exact same on nerf patches.
so twist is duels without buckets?
they could've even done:
for the rest of the game, whenever you battlecry, excavate as well
That sounds absurdly broken
@@potheadjeebus8156 like double boomboss and double zilliaz and double resummoning ziliax to attack again isnt more broken. At least one would be slower and require more mana.
@@unowno123 double Zola, double Photographer, double Azerite Ox. Your fix is actually wayyy more fair. And gives the card “showdown in the badlands” flavor in his ability
Damn, i think this is the best idea i've seen to balance brann. Still really strong but at least its winnable. What frustrates me the most is the Brann + Boomboss combo. Its insta lose if you have a slower deck. The only counter play is dirty rat but even so its not reliable.
As a mac player, I very happy finally to get access to the shop again. I simply can't play arena right now since I can't buy tickets with coins. Funnily enough, it was also the case for the heroic tavern brawl, meaning that some of the playerbase couldn't spend gold on the one thing designed to funnel gold out of players pockets.
This isn't good enough. Brann can still be played, and half the games they didn't draw him early anyways. Reno still basically locks you out of the game for two turns, hunter will still be OP. Plagues will still be super annoying and reska shouldn't have been printed in the first place, much less have excavate to bring it back and steal your minions all over again.
Reska can be played around so easily (low attack minions making them have to burn a removal on it, deathrattles that summon stuff to make it at least a 50/50, for the tier 4 excavate it has 5 health witch makes it worse, the reborn makes it better, but they still need to kill it first)
plagues RNG is the win condition in the control matchup, and that is only a win condition if they went double Green, otherwise in control matchup it is an annoyance at best.
@@AreYouTheBot That doesn't make sense. If you have anything valuable like deathrattles, they can steal it with Reska. Plagues should not be permanent, nor should they be able to disrupt your mana supply.
I would also love if they added monthly missions too
make it like overwatch, idm if the quest says Play 15 or 20 ranked games. But make wins grant double progress. This encourages people to hop into ranked aswell and make them feel they still get the quest done despite losing.
have to say its probably the first time ever I will play a match in twist even tho I have a huge collection of old/wild cards I never bothered of Twist before
The problem for bran for me was the boomboss legendary. Shuffling the bombs is fine. But the bombs unable to hit themselves is terrible. As soon they play it with the brann, your deck us already thin and drawing one bomb will keep increasing the chances to hit your cards in your deck.
I’m surprised Voidtouched Attendant hasn’t been nerfed yet. 1 mana deal 1 extra damage all the time is just too ridiculous.
And Secret Passage needs to be nerfed again
stop playing wild. they dont and wont balance wild unless something crazy need a nerf. asking for a nerf to these cards is just being stupid lol
@@phatal4573but standard is in such a shit state that i went to play wild and its 10 times more fun lol.
@@roohni2226 cool! but dont expect them to balance the mode is what im saying!
@@phatal4573 i mean they just did 2 patches ago, so it wouldn't hurt lol
The new Twist season sounds pretty cool
Sounds like its basically just a new take on duels
This sounds like a more interesting option for twist at least. A few fun and different options. Its about time twist is something insanely different from regular hearthstone. With regards to the weekly quests, I hope they give out some free XP to all the players because there will be loads of people who lost out on a lot of xp because of how bad they were
It's incredible how Brann and Helya is pretty much the same type of card, like "drop this on curve and win", but Helya stays untouched since released.
Brann was really op at 6, but let's be honest here, how often do you win against DK if they drop Helya on 4?
Big question is Motorola a Mac device because I can't access the shop at all.
If it's not Apple it's not a Mac device, Apple makes very sure of that.
Yours is most likely Android but I don't actually know. Hope you can get the problem fixed.
@@KnownAsKenji I went and asked on a server of hearthstone and it's just not me getting hit. Some other users of Motorola are also getting hit by it.
Excited to see how this new Twist goes!
If the only nerf to warrior is Brann going to a higher cost, then they need to nerf Boomboss. Because aggro, mid range decks can do something against a 8 mana Brann, but control decks would still automatically loose. The Boomboss TNT's should be reworked, their disrruption is insane. Just one battlecry can destroy 9 cards, like wtf. And no, Dirty Rat countering it is not enough, because even if you hit Boomboss, you have still to overvalue warrior.
When Boomboss first came out I thought 'what a cool card, shame it'll never be viable' and now 1/3 games it destroys a 10 cards and an instant concede. I absolutely love disruption but even I will admit it can be crazy.
Brann basically got the same treatment as the Theotar nerf. It was widely disliked because the problem wasn't the mana cost, it was the effect. Looks like they learned nothing, or they just don't care about fixing core concepts of cards that makes it so unfun/unfair to play against.
I don't think Brann is the problem tbh, its Boomboss, getting 12 cards destroyed from hand/deck is why you cant out value Brann, that type of disruption is annoying
Correct. If Boomboss did not exist, 6 mana Brann would not even be remotely top tier.
Brann is the main problem. Boomboss is a secondary problem.
Brann facilitates several disgustingly powerful battlecry options:
- Boomboss. Shuffling in 6 TNT basically deletes your hand hand most of your remaining deck.
- Zilliax. 3x 6/5 Taunt, Rush, Divine Shield, Lifesteal mechs
- Dr Boom. 4x 6/5 Taunt, Rush, Divine Shield, Lifesteal mechs go smack you in the face
- Azerite Ox. 4x Discover 8 cost minion to summon. Will often get bounced back to hand and replayed for more massive boards of 8 drops.
On their own, these battlecries aren't too bad. But Brann causes them to be over the top.
@@tarille1043 in my opinion those other battlecries aren’t a problem, sure they can win the game if opponent doesn’t have a board clear in hand but that could be said for many cards in the game, there is no answer for boomboss
Mac has a bunch of visual bugs too like skins not showing up. the shop has been closed but didn't affect me personally as I was saving my gold for the miniset instead of buying packs
Does that mean Reno shaman will finally be playable?
I just think this makes it so that Brann is a late game card through and through, you only play it against slow decks, you keep it in your hand against any form of aggro. This would make Odyn Warrior probably preferable if the meta is too fast.
i guess it’s hard to do in coding-terms, but how about being unable to hit enemy hero for like, three turns? You still get the value from double BC, but you don’t end them immediately
Does 2 mana really mean much when warriors have 25 armour by turn 6/7? Maybe? Im just not convinced this will kill highlander warrior
How will we know if we won?
Hopefully next nerf helps wild a bit more. Egg hunter and demon seed are pretty obscene compared to the rest of the meta.
For brann. I feel a more flavorful effect would be, “for rest of game your excavates trigger twice” instead of battle cries. It would only trigger when it sees the keyword excavate plus a battlecry. This would not affect the excavate legendary reward or cards that say, “if you excavated x amount of times this game.What do you guys think?
What if Brann was "Your next 5 battlecries trigger twice" then it could be less about getting him as early as possible and more about when you want to use him as a finisher. This could bring him to 3 mana too probably.
Appreciate the videos :)
I have a suggestion:
"For the rest of the game, your first battlecry each turn casts twice. (Once per game)"
This twist feels like a tavern brawl they repurposed as a twist season just to not scrap the mode
I'd rather always have this Twist style of season, yes it may be behind a pay wall but it's just a Legendary, not the whole Wild collection (with cards that don't even see play in Wild)
I agree. Nerfs require more flexible approach.
That Twist season sounds so cool, probably the best one so far.
Hey guys , what happens if I buy the miniset with Brann? Do I get 1600 dust refund for Brann , because it seems really worth it to spend 2k on the miniset. What you think guys ?
You can dust him for 1600 after the patch launches.
I saw the thumbnail and was shook, but then I saw it was just a mana increase and sighed
Brann rework
6 drop
If your deck started with no duplicates your next 3 battlecries trigger twice. Or have the first each turn.
The Hunter nerf is not enough unfortunately. To make it balanced they should also nerf Observer of Myths from 1-4 to 2-3 bc Observer into Monkey combination just doesn't give a chance to clear it with a fair cost. Brann - lazy solution but fine for now. For me the perfect nerf would be "Make you battlecry cards in hand trigger twice".
The problem is if they nerf hunter too hard, they can't hide the fact how broken warrior currently is.
Let's go mini sets!!!!!! Thank you for all the content!
Brann should be nerfed to "..summon a location.." and when used then your battle cries trigger twice. A bit questionable what would the number of uses.
This way you have more flexibility in terms of counter plays. If they've used location on this turn, they most probably would not play Tho'grun or the Azerite Ox on the next turn.
Reno would be the counter from control decks. Aggro decks can win anyways against Brann warrior.
Alternatively to location it can be summon an "azurite mine" or something, similar to Rheastrasza's nest, which can also be removed by Reno.
Aaand the 8 mana change imo does nothing..
i think the mana nerf for brann is a good quick fix ; sure it doesn't adress the fundamental issue but it makes boomboss and zilliax delayed by one turn in a lot of circumstances
They should have brought back steam cleaner
Zeddys upload cadence has no chill 😅
Keep up the good work Zeddy
The real issue is Boom Boss + Brann for me
For everyone.
What happens to my Brann Diamondbeard?
Brann should just double the next X number of battle cries played, not infinite.
As much as I hate Brann, I don't think this is the way to go.
They should've at least tried making his battlecry put a location/permanent on the board so that he actually has counterplay like the other highlander cards.
Twist just looks like Duels with less steps.
They could have bought so much time just keeping twist open with anomolies instead of taking the last couple months off. Offered an fun way to play the base game without needing to make specific decks
I think they address the wrong issue, most player just hated boom boss that blow card, in synergies with bran prior, it can blow potentially 18 card,, now they make it 8 mana? Maybe see play in wild idk but in standard nope😂
So twist is slowly turning into an extended tavern brawl i mean it felt like it before
Better nerf would be: if you have no duplicates your next 5 battlecries trigger twice
Of course, I’m not a big fan of the warrior, but the nerf is stupid. Why is the cost 8 and the stats are 2-4? Give him a taunt and stats 4-6 then. Why is Brann toxic, but the symphony is not touched, it’s very fun to watch how every time you burn 6 cards, just great. Sargeras needs to be made to 10 mana, he has a permanent effect even after death, compared to him, the warrior titan is just a disgrace
. When will the step be removed? Is it normal to use the cry of the same card 5 times, does it bother anyone?
Brann being at 8 mana I feel isn't a game changer. I rarely pull him for mulligans or when drawing at turn or a card that pulls. Its still crazy good but it could be reworked. Oh well
The brann nerf hits warrior 3x. Don't forget that now the 10 mana ignis weapon might summon a Brann, lol, and the OX might summon a brann too. lol
why dont they change it into: battlecry: your next 5 battlecry's trigger twice.
Not even a real nerf to Brann 2 more turns makes very little difference
I saw the 8 mana Brann coming. At 8, he's still great, but not unreasonable.
IMO, the murdered card is Saddle Up. 4 mana slow down the deck by a lot.
Good. These changes are supposed to be slight number changes to slip in with the miniset before they do the actual large balance changes after the miniset drops. Hunter is much stronger than Warrior at the moment, so thank God that they at least did one change.
I think brann should be your excavates trigger twice I feel that's decently strong still and fits the theme. Maybe make it 5 or 4 mana if it still has the highlander requirement.
I really wish Blizz would tone down the crazy power creep. It's pretty insane.
I Was waiting for the brann nerf for a long time finally happened
Hoping the Brann nerf was a quick way to get players to get the mini-set and playing again before they rework him properly in the next patch. Honestly wasnt too excited for this mini-set coz Brann is just so toxic. But hopefully the majority will test out the mech style warrior. I certainly will be :)
What’s the problem with brann?
Hopefully whatever they do to the weekly quests will get me to come back. I haven't played since the changes.
I juat disenchanted my og Nozdormu a few days ago
Can't wait for the new miniset
Putting Bran on 8 doesn't do much, vs Aggro you never play him on turn 6 or at all. In Control matchups, sure, you drop him 2 turns later (if you draw him), you have less mana flexibility and you can't chain Bran into Tho'grun and insta win games (Which I think is the most impactful change) but other than that, this does not solve the issue. The card needs to be reworked so you either can counter play it (Make the battlecry a location that triggers all battlecries twice IN THAT TURN) or you have to think when yo play it (make it so the effect only lasts X ammoun of turns)
I feel like with brann you could have done "Your first battlecry each turn triggers twice" Still quite strong but limited. Or have it that "Battlecries trigger twice and cost one more for the rest of the game" i dont know like you said the mana increase doesnt solve Brann being a problem it still makes it feel bad to play against but now it'll feel bad to play.
that would change nothing. All the good battlecries that warrior want to abuse are 8+ mana (and the 4 mana legendary treasure)
Maybe what I'm saying is nonsense, but maybe making Brann as a neutral legendary and only doubling the effects of Excavates would be the way to go. Raising it to 8 doesn't help anything, nor does it solve the problem we had. The problem isn't on the mana cost, it's the effect that we all are complaining that's toxic.
Wouldn't it be too strong? For example for warlock? Imagine losing 14 hp for 4 mana
Agreed. And if they want to keep the effect, the least they can do is introduce counterplay in the form of a steam cleaner-esque card. But they won't, because they want to keep Plague DK viable. Clickbait title got my hopes up. If he's out here saying "murdered", I'm thinking something like the Lady S'theno/Sinful Brand/Predation nerfs where they ctrl+alt+deleted Spell DH from the game. This is a nothing burger of a nerf.
@ForceOfWill100 How can you think that they care about Plague DK viable when it is literally a dead deck
@@Samantho87 I don't know, bro. I'm my climbing every Death Knight I face is plagues. Not many of them are handbuff, and even less are pure blood or rainbow. At least in EU.
@@hayrusalem I honestly think it is just because Plague DK is one of the free decks that new / returning players can choose, and it used to be by far the most viable choice. Plague DK is pretty bad right now
