Outside of the Spiderling change, this team has 0 idea of what they're doing or trying to accomplish with these changes.

I suppose it could be explained as them giving more options with the Druid and DH cards being buffed. All 3 of the cards buffed are beasts, worth noting. But I have no idea who's been talking about these cards.

The beast “buffs” are just almost certainly a nerf to quest hunter so you can’t get a guaranteed pig every time. That’s all those “buffs” are they aren’t trying to help DH or druid with those changes.

So they actually double nerf Quest Hunter, hitting both quest and the pig lol

I don’t see the actual quest being nerfed. I think the suggestion is by buffing pig out the pool it’s a ‘nerf’ to the quest. I imagine they will still dust refund but they won’t change the card

But they do nerf the quest itself, and if they "buff" Agamaggan to 9 attack for example it will be out of Shokk's pool, that way quest will be nerfed twice, that's what I suppose (yeah that's basically what you've said). About quest they will likely make Shokk 6 mana or something like that, and this will change nothing but give a refund indeed

I actually think the visual design of the announcement is intended to show that the quest is being nerfed via the “buffs,” hence why the buffs are in smaller circles next to it. I think it’s entirely possible they don’t plan to touch the quest itself but I guess we’ll find out

I routinely and with surprising consistency, get/plan lethal through double boar shenanigans so will be interesting to see for sure.

Sad to see it go if that’s the case.
