Cost != Tavern Tier, thankfully.
Well then how about, Zapp is actually collectible new card from Descent of Dragon?
I would actually really like this. It's a cool idea and would love to use it in standard.
Turns out it is to balance for Effigy.
Ah to not get random Zapps from random 6 drops dying...
Well, I'm glad I managed to finish an absurd Toki run with Mama Bears right before the patch hit. Was fun while it lasted, Toki. Will miss you lots. Good news is, my dear Jaraxxus just got a nifty boost and Mukla won't be as pathetic anymore. Giantfin still needs loads of work though.
Edit: Also, dummies forgot to change the damn text on Toki's hero power, or rather, what it says in the patch notes and what it says in the game does not match. ...and the rope now throws shadows in the opposite direction. Sigh.
Toki not destroyed, her hero power is still strong late game, just not as insane early game when extra gold might matter...
Toki nerfed
Jarraxus and Mukla buffed
Mama Bear nerfed... Kangor's... not sure if it is even nerf, seems more like buff on deathrattle thing...
RIP toki, not only did they increase the gold cost, but it doesn't give a higher rank anymore.
Also, I can re-roll daily quests again.
Wait, Zapp now costs 8? How... What?
Still, glad about Jaraxxus, and we'll see whether Mukla's change will have some weight or not. It is, however, plenty interesting
the cards still have costs assigned to them which arent corresponding to their tier levels.
the tier level of Zapp stays the same but (hidden)mana cost has been increased so you will not get it from Effigy
Maybe they just removed him from the pool?
I just report on the data changes, I don't explain them! :D
Mechs will still dominate but at least we saw a balance patch this soon, so that implies they'll balance this mode frequently.
No it implies that we are still in Beta
True, but this mode could be easier for them to try and balance often. If a card, or a few cards, are pushing one strategy too far in front of all other, they can either change the tier so it can’t snowball too early, alter stats/effect quickly if it’s not a collectable, or just remove it from this mode and swap in a similar but less powerful collectable card.
Only time will tell what their balance strategies/timeframes look like.
