I mean Revenant was still pretty overtuned

its basically a guaranteed good Cenarion Ward in a class that utilizes armor greatly

I'm...really not convinced it was overtuned.

The comparison that jumps to mind for me with Revenant is Ultimate Infestation, and like...okay, it's a little cheaper, and has a bit more health and armour, but doesn't draw 5 cards. So I feel like Ultimate Infestation is tuned quite a bit stronger than Revenant was.

Or if you want to compare it to an 8 drop you could compare it to Coilfang Warlord, which is a 9/5 rush that deathrattles into a 5/9 taunt. Has some of the same ideas (deal some damage, and then keep your hero safe). Has never been a particularly good card.

The comparison to Cenarion Ward...thing is Cenarion Ward was only really good if you doubled it with solar eclipse. Now, granted, you CAN double up on Revenant too with Brann--the Brann synergy is part of what makes Revenant good right now, but that requires discounting Brann or Revenant with From the Depths.

Drawn winrates also seem to be suggesting it's a solid card, but...not crazy strong or anything--glancing on HSReplay it's typically about the same drawn winrate as Alextraza the Life Binder and Shield Block. (Alextraza and Shield Block are very solid cards, don't get me wrong, but they're not cards I'd expect to get nerfed).

And I would expect these numbers to drop a little with the other cards getting nerfed; a From the Depths nerf makes it harder and slower to Brann+Revenant. A big reason to run Revenant was to help get 10 armour for Shield Shatter, but Shield Shatter got nerfed so that play is a bit weaker too.
