There are many old offenders here… which one would that be? Skorn? Falcius? Katara?

I wouldn’t class Afterblaze as a Divine Bond card, more of a Midrange or Brome swarm card. Lyo also loses Sun Wisp which can work in multiple decks.
Other than that, I think you have everything covered.

Well, I can totally see why. It’s not very menacing by itself, but it can definitely be the most overwhelming card in the game when it gets big grow minions off…

I’m wondering what 3 drop I should use instead of Falcius in my golem deck. Maybe Golem Vanquisher?

I’m not saying it’s exclusively a Bond card, but it’s definitely one that can be seen in that archetype. Especially when it runs Owlbeast sage! I’m going to add your suggestions, though, they’re very accurate

It’s not bad, but really easy to answer. I heard of someone running Lady Locke to combo with Sirocco… that sounds super spicy lol.
Falcius is a bit too versatile to effectively substitute, I’m afraid. You’ll have to experiment!

Is that one getting removed as well?

I don’t think so. Portal Guardian is probably in the core set. I should try it out!

By the way, Lady Locke sounds perfect for the a meme deck. I’ll definitely try it out when i get the spirit.

Songhai’s best 3 drop has always been Sojourner anyway.

For aggro decks with a low curve, yeah. But for mid-range decks with a bunch of Painters, Zendos, EMPs and Hamons, your hand will get clunky real quick. Suppose mid-range can still survive if it plays a more aggro game I guess.
I could be wrong though, since I am but a peasant compared to your songhai greatness.
@gsvalhalla, when I said jaguar was gonna affect meme decks, I specifically meant decks built around movement that also include cards like black locus. You can definitely swap out Hamon or Geomancer for Jaguar though when playing a regular mid-range deck.

LUL as if anyone actually plays solarius
this is an unashamed source of happiness for me
i think you mean to say “anything with creep”
LUL reliquerian as an archetype. its a meme.
i think you mean to say “ragnora in general”
FeelsGoodMan but then vetruvian will be uncontested masters of thunderhorn
i think you forgot to add something into the magmar nerfs

I don’t like Solarius anywhere. I actually run Spelljammer in my faster titan lists. But it works if you make it work. Some people do it, at least.
It’s a memey archetype, just like Replace, but it’s still a card you can build your decks around if your faction can get advantage of it. Just like Abyssian with Devourer + Reliq. Not top tier, but it can compete.
I would add “anything with creep AS A WINCON”, and nowadays that’s inly Control Cass
Yes, but I really like the word “Eggmar” lol
Can’t argue this one. Corrected!

You should add Dying Wish Vet and Corpse Combustion to the list, while the deck isn’t top tier it is absolutely playable and the loss of Corpse combustion will certainly hurt it.

Very happy that crescent spear will go away, I hate that card. Off all of this the byebye of falcius is definitely the big one, vetruvian will no more have his staple 3 drops and it’s insane tempo plays. The two archetypes that will suffer the most are creep abyss and eggmar, I really hope that they will support that with the new expansion.
