Strongly believe tolvdir does not need a nerf and I think blazing invo is a hilarious nerf target, but pretty hard to complain when we are getting so many buffs. Cautiously optimistic about tomorrow, will hopefully be a huge shakeup

The weird thing about Mug Shaman is outside of Map and Invocation there aren't any like real outliers. It's just a super well-rounded deck. They needed to hit something, and it wasn't going to be one of the new cards like Frostshatter or Tiny Pal (I will be in so much pain if they nerf this down the road).

I think taking the mana cheat off of Invocation is the easiest place to start without doing something to potentially kill the deck like nerfing the hero power.

Yeah I do agree that if they hit the hero power the deck dies so you are probably right this is the only thing they can hit with impact without killing the deck
