Brainstorming balance changes

#1

So, I just want to discuss balance changes. I mean, that’s it. I guess I’ll put something about cards I’d like to see buffed/nerfed

This will be basically buffs for vet. I don’t really have too many cards which I find too powerful. Autarchs is one I think was unintentionally nerfed in ancient bonds with the introduction of thunderclap. Best solutions I have are to either make it 5 mana or to buff thunderclap with additional 1/2 attack. Also, circulus needs a nerf. It’s just too useful and cheap for what it does. It should either have increased mana cost (And corresponding stats eg. 3 mana 1/4, 4 mana 2/5) and make it not trigger off BBS. Blue conjourer also should not trigger off BBS. Fountain of youth should do something extra or just be reworked entirely, I don’t have any ideas but I’d like to see it buffed somehow. Dark transform also should be a transformation, I don’t see why it isn’t and I even see a lot of people have the misconception that it is and won’t trigger dying wish.

Personal wish list

Lavaslasher nerfed to 4/7
Mana Death Grip nerfed to 2 mana
Siphon Energy buffed to have infinite reach again
Mana Vortex draws a card again
Kelaino changed to 2/4
Kaido Assasin buff to Backstab 2
Gorehorn buff to Backstab 3
Scarlet Viper 4 Mana 2/4
Fountain of Youth 4 Mana "Turn the health of the next minion that is destroyed by your general this turn into life for your general"
Veteran Silithar buffed to 4/5
Noctourne buffed to 2/3
Wild inceptor buffed to 3 mana 3/3
Kolossus changed to 3/5
Dreadnaught changed to 4 mana 3/4
Sparrow Hawk 2 Mana 2/3
Onyx Jaguar 4 Mana 3/2
Sand Sister Saon “Opening Gambit” Your General gains +1 Attack"
Night Fiend 4/5
Entropic Gaze: Your general gains +3 attack this turn. Both players draw a card
Enfeeble 3 Mana set the stats for all minions in a 3x3 area to 1/1
Myriad buffed to 3/4
Cryogenesis 3 Mana deal 3 damage draw a vespyr from your deck

Could probably go on with all the useless neutrals in the game but since nothing even remotely close to this will ever happen i already feel stupid for writing all this and will stop here -.-

That’s a really fancy way of saying ‘heal 2 for 4 mana’ xD

Or you know, heal for 10 after killing an iron cliff.

Deathstrike seal. Give a minion “destroy any minion damaged by this minion. This minion cannot be targeted by spells.”

I can get behind most of these changes, but I’ll list the ones I don’t agree with:
Mana deathgrip needs a nerf, but 2 mana is too much (I really can’t think of a better option though)
Nocturne doesn’t need a buff, they’re already fantastic
Onyx jaguar doesn’t need a buff, though I am very glad you are trying to make kaleos and sajj better here
Cryo is fine how it is

Also would LOVE that saon change to happen. GivePLZ CPG

I think deathstrike seal is fine, it has uses in a fair few archetypes.

#8

Lavaslasher 4/7
Ragebinder 3/3
Trinity oath 5 mana
Mana vortex 2 mana discount the first spell by 1 and draw a card
Storm kage 5 mana 3/6 same effect but kage lightning deal 3 damage instead of 5
Night fiend "All spaces near friendly shadow creeps take damage as effected by them"
Aspect of the fox "transform any minion into a 3/3 until the end of you turn"
Circulus 3 mana 1/4
Mana death grip “deal 1 damage to an enemy menion, if it dies you have 1 extra mana next turn”

Also i like baharoth fountain of youth version but it should cost 3 mana imho.

Mana vortex is increasing how much mana you use then, so it’s pointless
Kage doesn’t need a buff :stuck_out_tongue:
I totally agree with the aspect chance, and circulus one
No clue what you’re on about with night fiend
First three changes are all good too

#10

“Kage doesn’t need a buff” no one use it because it’s too slow, my version simply make it faster while actually nerfing his body and effect.
Mana vortex was mainly used because you could play 2+ cards and still have a decent amount of cards. Basically my change would make it a 1 Mana draw a card Wich is something that every faction has except for songhai.
My point with night fiend is to make this card playable (and darkspine elemental too), making it an AoE generator

#11

Kage not needing a buff was a joke. Still think mana vortex wouldn’t really see play with what you’re suggesting, but idk.
