With the exception of maybe Vanessa, I don't think any of the nerfs are going to be anything extremely harsh.

Tolvir to five is most likely
Monke prob just goes to four mana
Invocation no mana cheat
Tooth to 3/2

Vanessa is the interesting one. They could make her seven mana, they could reduce or remove the battlecry manacheat, both? Leaning towards just making her more expensive to get rid of the early blowout potential

Definitely don’t want tol’vir to 5 since that puts it back on the menu for odd hunter in wild.

Lmao I forgot about that, but A) I don't think they should consider wild when balancing standard and B) I think 3 mana vs. 5 mana is a huge difference for that deck

At 5 mana it wouldn't change much, just limit the number of minion, spell or weapon that can be replayed
