I know that it was broken, but I just wanted to know the reasoning behind CP’s change of Zirix BBS and how it’s different from Faie’s current BBS. Do you think that her BBS would ever be changed or will CP continue to allow it as is? (just as a side note: if nightwatcher existed before-hand, would the BBS of Zirix still have been changed?
Can I ask, What was CP's problem with old zirix BBS?
The difference is that you can buff it with things like third wish or make it a permanent minion with dunecaster. Imagine a warbird that could do more than 2 damage every turn.

Faie’s BBS doesn’t turn every buffs (that the faction has ample access to) into burn spells.
Nor does it result in this:

@oranos and @obsidianbottle, I understand that it was broken, but is it okay for ANY BBS do instant damage and do you think that it will change anytime soon? Or is the design just too solidified to alter?
At this point its too solidified to change.
Cpg will design around it before they change it.

I hope that it’s something soon, because I really don’t relish the idea of pretty much nigh uncounterable stuff like that.
You have to keep in mind that CPG wants this game to be “Lightning fast”. That’s the reason why pretty much every 7+ mana minion is so stupidly powerful that it will just win the game alone if not answered instantly. And that’s also the reason why Warbird is very unlikely to be changed. I dare say that any game, that takes long enough for Warbird to be relevant, is already going on too long for cpgs taste. In your average game Warbird equals 4-6 damage to the general, that’s strong no doubt, but far from critical.
It’s diffrent from warbird, i mean,
you decide where to direct damage, you can buff it, it can become a permanent body, gives a lot of reach for only a 1 mana.
Too much sinergy for a bbs.
Now the sinergy is still there but you must wait a turn to abuse it.
It can’t really be played around and doesn’t affect enemy positioning like warbird.
All this without thinking about faction playstyle
The most broken thing about it was the dunecaster combo, not only it was instant 4 damage but also a body to deal with on the next turn and also a 2/1, which could result in other 2 face damage.
I think nightwatcher isn’t the right way to fix that problem anyway.
As for Faie, her bbs is totally ok. The cards make her good, which is normal, any meta bring us something new. And there will always be a general that sees more plays than the others.
That said, maybe we will see some reworks of any of the current BBS, but, in my opinoin, warbird is not the one that needs changes now.
I must add, it was not only CP’s problem, it was argued a lot in the community for a while before it was changed.
