Preview of Balance Changes for 2.90

[FDL]

It's at least a little hope for Logan.

But Bone Sabre has its fair share of shortcomings too...

[Kross]

These will be interesting..

It would be nice if Skilled Ironmonger could target Hit List (Repaid in Full) though

By the way, with that be keeping its art, or getting something new?

[RogerFederer]

will shield bearer benefit from his attack buff?

if so 3/5 is going to be pretty broken.

Same art. The person whose head is in the bag was on the hit list, which can grow with Metamorphic Cloak. Meanwhile, Ironmongers are no good with pens, so he can't write more names on.

If he's alone, then he is your only ally and he's a Yari ally, so yes.

And Bone Sabre can't do much vs Karash, Sandworm, Wisp, etc... seems like a win-more card but Logan needs more win anyways

Btw i wouldn't call ambush Boomerang a buff, it was useful against nasty weapons in aramia.

but it's a buff for everyone else...now you can get the extra attack without killing your hero.

[RogerFederer]

3/5 at 3 drop?

he will be a 4/6 with xander.

or 4-6 very early with tala

What is the rationale of handing out Unprecedented 3/5 on a 3drop (without a severe drawback).

If the intention was to buff warriors, in particular the 4 shadow warriors that are incredibly weak - if so this is a fairly lazy way of going about it.

but ironmonger can buff metamorphic cloak...so with an overly complex combo, it is possible to get lots of durability on hit list.
I'm excited about the concept of this rejig because it makes for a solid T2 play and combos with wily smuggler. The fact that you can play it one turn and get the draw in another turn makes the 2cc cost and killing limitation bearable. While I can't definitely kill something in a turn and have 2cc to spare, I can definitely have 2cc to spare some turns, and be certain of killing something on other turns. I can imagine playing it in monster garth, in place of some other draw. I can also imagine using it in addition to IGG in more traditional rogue decks aiming for tempo, and possibly using it along with anarchic looting.

Yes yes yes. This is what I like to see. Finally starting to see tribes come into their own, and no silly nerfs. Some things are questionable (confluence of fate is now crazy) but, it makes for a better variety of competitive decks (or at least the start of that)

Good job!
