Shadowstep doesn't stack, so it would cost 11 mana.

How so? Second Leeroy's cost is 3, not 5
You don't lower the current cost by an additional 2 mana. You lower the original cost by 2 mana. The current 8-mana leeroy combo is
first - 4 mana
second - 2 mana
third - 2 mana.

you can still leeroy, shadowstep, leeroy, cold blood, cold blood. which is 20 damage. or you can finish with evis for 16 damage. which is still a good amount of reach.

Are there really any charge minions that are comparable? I can't think of any.
There are none
Thats why hes getting nerfed
Closest is Argent commander who is a 4/2 for 6 mana and Arcane Golem which is a 4/2 for 3 mana but it gives your opponent a mana crystal which is a massive disadvantage
Reckless Rocketeer is 5/2 for 6 mana.
so:
RR = 5/2 for 6 mana
AG = 4/2 for 3 mana (give opponent mana)
LJ = 6/2 for 5 mana (spawn dragonlings)
AC = 4/2 for 6 mana with Divine Shield
Arcane Golem is the next best thing for me, but still needs to be a finishing move

I think Leroy is still the card to use. you just need alexstrasza now.

Adding 1 mana more to Leeroy Jenkins really isn't that much of a deal. It's a good nerf.
Adding 3 mana to a card like Starving Buzzard, though?
Holy fucking shit. That is overkill. Not gonna use it in any of my Hunter decks.
Why is Blizzard so terrible at balance patches? Like, TERRIBLE.

He was doing that yesterday too, its like hes never watched the game or something.
He also said he was saying it facetiously though.
He got in through the open bracket hence why they were saying that.

Ah okay, I missed that. Makes sense. Like he often says "he should have shield slammed face" or "execute face" without a hint of it being a joke. Like he is being serious. And he never explains it after for potentially new people.

nope. but you can use sacrificial pact.
No, Jaraxxus becomes a hero, so those cards that target minions can't target him anymore. Sacrificial Pact works because it doesn't specify it's minion only.

So it insta-kills him? Crazy. I did not know this.
Yes, I'm pretty sure Mirror Entity and Snipe work too. It's just that after he replaces the hero, he's no longer a minion. But you're right, he's a minion on board first before replacing the hero.
Yes, it instantly kills him.
Yup, though Snipe isn't quite as nasty. I suppose mirror entity would be annoying if it happened though. 3/15 is quite annoying.
Mmmhmm.
Life must be good as a priest with Thoughtsteal. But I don't think folks that play Jaraxx have them in their decks any more. The first time it happens to you, it pretty much gets burned into your memory forever.
Some poor dude in arena had 2 sac pacs for healing himself, and I played jaraxxus after his 2nd. LOL

Two webspinners in my hunter deck. First one dies = King Crush. Second one dies = The Beast.
RNGesus be praised.

Drafting a shaman. Alex or Cairne?
LOL! Wow....
I don't know why people hate long control matches. Its by far what I enjoy most about the game. All the cheese decks that go for some insta kill, super early 5 turn win stuff sucks IMO. Control is so much more fun to play.
I be finishing 20 turn games wiping my brow like
Definitely Cairne. Alex is too situational for arena and Cairne is 100% Grade-A value.

After having no legendaries for a long ass time, I got two Golden Jaraxxus in two packs.
In the 40 or so ranked games I played this weekend I only faced 5 Hunters, which is fucking AMAZING, but it has also shown me how annoying other classes can be
Freezemage is super annoying to play against because if you cant rush them down by turn 10 youre screwed because theyre going to fireball and icelance your face off
Druid lategame is very frustrating, especially if they get 2 Ancients of War down and put them in taunt mode. If you dont draw into removal its an extra 20 HP you have to burn through

They'll probably hit lots of people with a ban all at once.
I hate playing against that combo as much as anyone, but 4m 2/2 seems even more reasonable. That puts the avg. draw vs. mana cost on par with Sprint, plus you get minions/damage.
That would not change anything.

The change was mainly for delaying the big combo, right? Also helps that you can't do as much with 2 mana instead of 5.
Hunters can still do the combo and draw a lot, there's just a higher chance they'll be further behind than they would be now. (If that makes sense)

It would if you also changed Hunter's Mark to 1 mana.

Wow people have a ton of respect for control warrior.
Had to build a makeshift one for the daily quest - missing many of the crucial cards (no Shield Slam, no Grommash, no Alex, no Cairne, no Black Knight). But even the dominating early game with Acolytes, Armorsmiths, Taskmasters and Frothing Berserkers had people in casual concede left and right. I guess they don't want to play super long games or compete with the legendaries (I don't have but they must assume I do). :lol

i think the point was to make it a card that nobody plays.
i think the reason they left auctioneer alone is because by adding more cards to the game they made miracle rogue worse. you can't really add cards to the game that would make buzzard/unleash worse because it simply relies on people playing for board control. which is what they want hearthstone to be about. and since they still want hunter to have an AoE spell buzzard was the best thing to nerf into the ground.
If people are running frothing berserkers I start thinking it's not a standard control warrior. I tried running frothing berserkers in my control warrior deck before but it seemed like I was exerting a lot of effort in the early game for something Alexstrasza could do herself.
Black Knight is pretty meta-depedent in control warrior I think. Maybe if you start seeing more druids and handlocks he'll pop up again. I think a lot of folks are running a spellbreaker instead right now.
