RE: Gods Unchained — Know Your Meta: Understanding the PTR Balance Preview

in Gods On Chain2 years ago

A really well-written article, great job! I played a few matches on the PTR against War decks and it seems like the nerfs did make War much more meek. Enduring Shield into Warmonger Smith not being able to clear a 3-health unit on T2 is pretty big, as is the Archangel nerf which almost guarantees that it'll be suiciding in 1 turn. I had the chance to play Counterfeit a few times as well and as predicted, it's really strong even if the stolen relic is a run-of-the-mill 2/2 weapon. Not sure how much this will spice up the meta, but I'm kinda excited.

I have a feeling the "meekness" of War with these changes is a preemptive counterbalance to the RAGING aggression War will suddenly gain through the changes to Vikings from the CSR. I figure they're hoping they'll cancel out in the end.
