azuarc 01/30/18 12:25:45 AM #407:	Patches: is too big a liability if drawn now. A stonetusk boar is bad, but a 1-mana wisp does exactly nothing. Considering Patches gets drawn in maybe 10-15% of games, and no longer comes with enough upside to offset that, I'm pretty sure the card is simply dead in the water. Outside of Ship's Cannon abuse, the card is just dust now. Corridor Creeper: holy shitballs, that's a nerf! I think it's a riot that creeper is now a carrion grub, since it looks like one, but I'm pretty sure 2/5 would not have been the statline I'd have picked. If anything, I'd prefer 5/2 to 2/5. Actually, just go ahead and rename it Corridor Rager and make it a 5/1. At 2/5, it may not be impactful, but it's still incredibly hard to remove. Unless, of course, the goal is that you want to have an anti-aggro tool for trading into all those small minions. Kill a paladin's first 4 minions, drop your carrion gru---corridor creeper, and mop up all those knife jugglers and annoying 1/1 tokens. Beyond that, I'm not certain this card will still be used. I mean, it's still playable, but I bet it won't be played. Bonemare: fair. next. Raza: Well, this certainly kills basic Anduin decks moving forward, judging from the number of times a priest loses Raza and immediately concedes. It also makes Spawn of Shadows combos a little harder to pull off, but those, unfortunately, are not dead. Therefore, I would have preferred the "0 to your current hero power" version. Anduin before Raza isn't a huge change, but it's enough of one that you don't get 8 extra healing on curve, along with a 5/5 on 5. MariaTaylor posted... I'm almost hesitant to say "too late" in this specific case. with it coming at the end of the standard cycle it seems almost fitting. like, standard meta is supposed to be its own unique, distinct thing. so the standard cycle that just ended was the one where patches dictated a lot of the meta, and raza had a huge impact in the later half of the cycle. but now that this standard cycle is ending the experiment is kinda over and we need to fix these cards so they don't ruin wild forever. You may not hear much agreement on this sentiment, but I'm with you here. --- http://imgur.com/ekqlssN <cite>azuarc posted [p:895082624] in Hearthston...
