Hearthstone nerfs5/16/2023 ![]() But hey, at least he’s not going to ruin Wild forever, I guess. This change should have been made a long time ago. It’s a Carrion Grub that can only be played under certain conditions.Įven if you have Corridor Creeper in your opening hand, woohoo, you get a free 2/5 on turn five. 2/5 is just such a bad stat-line that it’s not worth looking at. ![]() This makes the card legitimately worthless in nearly all situations. They took three – that’s right, three – attack off of Corridor Creeper. But nope, they went all out and made the card absolute garbage. Heck, maybe they’d just change the ability to specify either your or your opponent’s minions. A reasonable person might assume they would lower the attack or health by a bit, or maybe raise the cost. Image via PlayHearthstone.īlizzard realized what they had done, and decided that Corridor Creeper would have to go the way of Old Yeller. A zero-mana target opens a lot of possibilities. It’s perfect for flood decks of all kinds, as well as any deck making use of buffs. If it’s in your opening hand, or drawn in your first few turns, it becomes free incredibly quickly. Corridor Creeper has an easily activated effect, and can apply to all minions in play (not just yours). After years of Shamanstone and Thing from Below reigning supreme, it’s a shock that Blizzard was willing to print another potentially zero-mana 5/5 card, but here it is. While Bonemare was in nearly ever aggressive deck, Corridor Creeper was a strong contender for the most played card. Bonemare was an essential piece to break through big Taunt walls, and deliver the final blow. This will also be a hindrance to a lot of flooding aggressive decks. Certainly budget decks will continue to run Bonemare, as there aren’t a lot of cheap alternatives for it. The card was just so strong that a simple one-mana nerf probably won’t kill it. In standard mode I wouldn’t be surprised if it still saw some play. ![]() At eight mana, Bonemare is still an incredibly strong card in arena. Of all the nerfs, this one if the most reasonable. The effect remains the same, as does the stats of the card. Now, the cost of Bonemare has risen from seven to eight. Bonemare, as a common card, was played in nearly every single deck, making it impossible to beat in terms of value or tempo. The same was seen in arena on an even larger scale. Even the Tempo Mage deck used it! For pure aggression, it was simply too difficult to beat. Last week I wrote a guide for budget decks with every class, and five of the nine decks used Bonemare. It was clearly overtuned, and quickly found itself into nearly every aggressive deck. It was essentially a 9/9 for seven mana, and four of that nine had charge. Bonemareīonemare is one of the best cards for an aggressive deck. Now, let’s take a look at the four decks that were hit by the latest Hearthstone nerfs. You probably shouldn’t bother playing until the next expansion comes out if you aren’t ready to face Warlock in every other game. All hail our new Warlock overlords! Seriously though, if you hated Warlock already, you are going to absolutely loathe this next month. As a result, they decided to nerf all of the other tier one decks. The full 23.2.2 patch notes are up at (opens in new tab).It’s that time of the year again: time for our yearly Hearthstone balance patch! This year Blizzard carefully looked at all of the tier one decks and decided that Warlock was the coolest. "I guess I should have bought that after all." Others, though, were disappointed that they missed out: "Wow, full 3k gold refund for diamond Drek'Thar," GregLoire (opens in new tab) lamented. At least one player who paid cash for the diamond Drek'Thar card complained that even with the 3,000 gold, he's still out the cash he spent on the card. Not everyone is thrilled with the change. Great outcome," vyn_ (opens in new tab) replied. "Yay! I will get my 3,000 gold back and keep the diamond card," Gamefreak_eve (opens in new tab) wrote. "The 3k gold I spent on diamond Drek'thar was well worth it now, free diamond card now," FluffyOnReddit (opens in new tab) wrote. ![]() "I am incredibly happy about that," xnerdyxrealistx (opens in new tab) wrote on Reddit. And very importantly, unlike standard dust refunds, you get to keep your diamond Drek'Thar card-it's basically a free diamond card for anyone who sprung for it pre-nerf. That's what the diamond Drek'Thar card cost for those who purchased it using gold, and it's enough to get you 30 Hearthstone card packs. Blizzard saw that trouble coming and headed it off at the pass by giving diamond Drek'Thar owners 3,000 gold, automatically, the next time they log into the game. ![]()
