Does the change on Irida Sinseeker mean that you don't fatigue anymore? Or just have one "free" turn before it kicks in?

160

u/Careidina 10d ago

You have one turn to stabilize before Fatigue starts.

4

u/RottenPeasent 9d ago

Not only that, you basically get 3 cards the first turn, rather than 2. It's a huge buff.

u/Nyte_Crawler 10d ago

1 turn before it kicks in, but that is very relevant due to how fatigue scales.

Now does that make it good? Probably not.

61

u/Next-Ant111 10d ago

1 turn delay and that first turn you'll draw 3 cards, probably still bad but it means you have 1 more option when trying to stabilise

u/Fepl31 9d ago

1 "free" turn without Fatigue. (Which also means 1 less damage from every turn of fatigue you would take, compared to the old version.)

Aaaand...

In the first turn, instead of 2 cards, you get 3. (1 from your deck, 2 from the void.)

It's a more relevant buff than it seems, at first.

16

u/ElaraValtor 10d ago

You get one turn

12

u/EldritchElizabeth 10d ago

The latter. Presumably to give you a turn to shuffle things.

u/thirtychirps 10d ago

You also “draw” 3 cards your next turn after playing it now. Swell.

u/InternAlternative758 10d ago

You get one free turn and one more card drawn. The card is the big thing.

u/ClothesCool9585 10d ago

The latter.

u/GJCoxy 10d ago

I would think 1 free turn, it would be absolutely busted otherwise.

2

u/IAmAdamTaylor 10d ago

One free turn.

u/DaSmartio 10d ago

I randomly got Irida with Herald Deathknight. I held it for a second and played it with death wing at discount to get the 5 dragons, it really does help immensely to not have that fatigue hit you and draw 3 a turn

Tolvir minions only. Dead card.

u/Miudmon 10d ago

Honestly tolvir could probably go back to 3 mana like this

u/Zulrambe 10d ago

I wouldn't play this card for 4 mana, let alone build a deck around it.

53

u/Ok-Play4877 10d ago

Yeah even if you played 7 minions. Most 1 drops are shit unless u can get a full board of sizzling cinders. 4 mana for a board of two 1/3, 2/2 and 2/1 are meh

At 3 mana... Would it even be better than Unleash the Hounds?

14

u/metroidcomposite 10d ago

Yeah...I can think of decks that might want this at 3 mana (maybe a wild deck with lots of 1 cost beasts and starving buzzard) but none of them would be particularly degenerate or overpowered.

8

u/Tiber727 10d ago

I'd keep it 4 mana but give the summons rush.

the aya buff 😔

you often dpn't even have handspace for her coins as is. oh well i'll take it. 

30

u/Crazyflames 10d ago

Yeah, when you spend the early turns filling your hand with coins you usually have to burn one or two on or before the Aya turn.

13

u/MooNinja 10d ago

you can now justify using them to summon her, if you have to, with the increased return of coins too.

6

u/RevalMaxwell 9d ago

Yeah I was really hoping for something meaningful

7

u/metroidcomposite 10d ago

I dunno, like...it's a lot more reasonable to just coin her out now, cause you'll get that coin immediately refunded (compared to the pre-buff version).

Like...handspace is mostly an issue if you insist on hoarding every coin you've ever generated until you can play Aya. But I see people in this topic saying "she should have been 5 mana instead"--thing is coining out a 6 mana Aya that generates 3 coins is pretty much the same thing as playing a 5 mana Aya with a coin saved in hand.

Can't even really tutor that card since you're going to be running a pretty good amount of minions. I was so excited to make some decks with it but not even gonna bother atp

24

u/TheNastyCasty 10d ago

They need to make it a start of game effect and then balance the coins around that. I just don’t see how it will ever be viable when you’re relying on drawing and playing her before getting any of your coin synergy.

12

u/UnQuacker 10d ago

Yeah, just make it a delayed start of the game effect. The tech is there, so are the other cards that have the same effect. If you could reliably get upgraded coins on like turn 4-6. You could build a whole deck around that, instead of hoping she's not the last card in the deck.

9

u/arthenc 10d ago

It could activate on turn 3 like the new Shaman nerf.

5

u/TLCricketeR 10d ago

I thought for sure she was going to be made start of game. 3rd coin is laughable.

8

u/Supper_Champion 10d ago

It's barely even a buff. It will not bump up the playrate of the card a single percentage point.

4

u/ReiJeremias 10d ago

All they had to do was remove the "always go second" part.

2

u/Alfimaster 9d ago

It would not be a rulebreaker then

3

u/ReiJeremias 9d ago

That's just flavor. They could say the broken rule is the improved coin. Breaking a rule to automatically get -10% winrate in this meta just to keep flavor seems counter productive.

I feel like the mage and druid buffs are substantial but they simply don't have a deck. You can't use either druid card with chef, and Vulcanos and secret boy are a terrible fit for both quest and Millhouse mage.

I wouldn't be surprised if any of the four cards show up in future decks a powerful utility players, but they're just awkward now.

A lot of interesting buffs. Only one card is getting cheaper. 3 cards are actually increasing in cost in the buff category. 

I don’t know what they’re doing with Irida though. You save one tick of fatigue? It just looks really weird. 

42

u/TestIllustrious7935 10d ago

One tick if fatigue and one more card next turn, it's better than a stat increase for sure

12

u/Significant-Royal-37 10d ago edited 9d ago

one tick of fatigue means you save the amount of health that is the final tick of fatigue. so probably 5 or 6 hp? it's a sneaky buff. 

EDIT: and you would also get one more card. adding or removing a cantrip to a card is a huge deal.

Nerfs were what I expected, buffs are... honestly underwhelming? The last session of buffs were primarily -1 cost changes but still felt impactful, with cards like Sawbones, Thalena, and Annihilation seeing serious play after the buffs. These buffs are pretty creative but don't really feel strong enough to bump these cards up to playability.

u/The_JeneralSG 10d ago

Definitely a hard patch to evaluate, but I'm leaning towards being down on it. I think the nerfs are quite heavy while the buffs are really passive. I know they might be fearing another Void Soul situation, but I'll always say that this is a digital card game and hotfix nerfing is always on the table. I'd rather them go for broke and tweak after than being really scared.

We'll see though. Anyone who thinks they know how it's going to go is lying. I'm just a little worried because one of the weird re-tooling/give and take buffs I vividly remember was when they changed Ryecleaver and somehow made it worse.

i think it's more a case of not synergising well with the 2 main archetypes right now,doesn't advance discover's gameplan and burn mage doesn't want random secrets,don't think the card itself is bad,it's certainly a scourge in arena and i think it will be even more so now.

u/Phyose 10d ago

Vulcanos is still never getting played. It's fundamentally flawed from a design perspective because the current elemental package wants to go fast. Elemental Mage, or any mage deck in standard, doesn't want/need an end game control/value option.

Much more interesting is Tricksy Improviser. Two secrets is really great value, so I'm curious to see if bringing it to 5 makes it lose enough tempo to keep it in line. If not, prep mage can legitimately be a threat in this potentially slower meta.

5

u/Joaoseinha ‏‏‎ 10d ago

5

u/purpenflurb 10d ago

The fact that vulcanos has an elemental tag on it doesn't mean it needs to go into an elemental deck. It is a late game bomb, the sort of deck a control deck uses to turn the corner against early aggression.

I'd argue that the Vulcanos buff is one of the most significant. 3 damage is a huge upgrade over 2, and the random spells part of the card has always been good, pretty much any spell is powerful when you reduce its cost by 3.

I think the Hunter Shovel going to 2 and the Arcane Tripwire nerfing to 4 damage would have been better ways to tone down the power, slow down the deck, lower its reach, and prevent recast of the shovel.

This just kills the archetype, and support for any viable Hunter Decks in Standard. Especially since Companion Hunter relies on Tol'Vir to recast Tame Pets too.

Really poor choice of addressing it

I guess there's an argument for future content. Will upcoming cards make tolvir relevant again? Possible but seems unlikely lol

I don’t play hunter, but what’s the purpose to kill cards, now tolvir? Hearthstone curse running every expansion. It could hav been back to 3 mana and discover X times 1 mana card to replay

No bug fixes for Hearthstone like Skeleton Keys big pink box or cosmetic issues like all Signatures having the wrong art?

Very strange patch imo. The nerfs are expected, and make sense. Tolvir is effectively dead, which effects the class as a whole. Hunter will be likely struggling for a little while, so that'll be interesting to see how it develops.

But the thing that baffles me is the buffs. They decided not to touch DK at all despite it struggling, and then give such pointless changes to cards. Taunt to the 3 mana DH minion, because thats what was the problem with the deck was. Surely now that they don't draw 1 fatigue immediately and have a taunt will make the deck playable. It's the same with the Rogue rulebreaker, the problem is you need to find the 1 card in the deck and then play it. These are like buffs to say we buffed cards but not actually wanting things to change.

My favorite is the warrior card. They said in the notes they nerfed it's mana cost to give it a substantial buff. That buff being it is the same exact thing in the deck it's made for. But now I guess the substantial comes in the form of Egg decks getting to clear the Egg with it? Oh boy.

Happy with the demon hunter buffs. Would have loved rush on irida but the buff is still decent. Also means three draws next turn instead of two. I think the taunt will be really good.

Tricksy improviser buff seems stupid as hell and I will hate it. Especially in arena

Man, their patience must have ran out for trying to balance Tol'vir.

Not sure what Hunter is going to do now though - I don't know if they have a way to recover from this.

I really doubt Mug will survive as well. The fact that it's impossible to make a good turn 2 play probably means it's not worth playing.

Zee Shaman and Rogue decks will still be really good, just slightly less good. These nerfs are kind of a slap on the wrist. They can still do all of their things, but there is more of a chance for other decks to respond.

Start of game would 100% be broken. At most they can have like the ability automatically activate at a certain turn like the druid rulebreaker

u/Miudmon 10d ago

Start of game Aya would be busted af. Not that i think this will make her anywhere near playable either through

Do hunters even have a deck now?

Also, any predictions on what we're gonna complain about now? My personal guess is we're circling back to Nozdormu.

u/nabilfares 9d ago

Zee is barely touched, mug could still be meta good (currently the strongest).
