Was bugging Warsong Commander to not embolden Bloodsail Raider in the patch notes?
Warsong commander is bugged now. The 1/1's from Haunted Creeper don't get charge either, which made a huge difference in an arena game last night.
Huh. Maybe it was giving recombobulated things charge for some reason and they overfixed it
Maybe. Seems like it would be easy though to differentiate between "transform", "summon" and "play".
The most convincing speculation I've seen is that it accidentally picked up Hobgoblin's behaviour.
I tested out hobgoblin's mechanic's against the Innkeeper. The animation puts the minion onto the battlefield the way it appears in your hand, before Dire Wolf Alpha, Stormwind Champers, or even Cogmaster's excitement has applied, with just the base stats. Then it draws an animation buffing it. Then it shows the final stats of the minion (without showing any interim moment where the minion is buffed by friends but not hobgoblin, or by hobgoblin but not friends. This is a little surprising when there's stuff like Twilight Drake showing as max stats instead of damaged stats when it's silenced.)
So I guess the way it's supposed to be is, you can play a minion, but after you play the minion but before you've summoned the minion (it's on the table, but not summoned, I guess), hobgoblin can buff it, because he's a fast dude. Warsong Commander can't buff a minion until its summoned, so if she picked up Hobgoblin's behavior somehow she would be giving charge to Stormwind Champ'ed Raptors which is incorrect.
So lest we totally break the game with our Stormwind Champ'ed Raptors and Cogmasters that are both excited and next to a Dire Wolf Alpha, they used some sort of terrible sloppy fix that's so bad it doesn't give charge to spiderbabies. Because if something is bugged to be underpowered that's supposed to be more acceptable than being bugged to be overpowered. And a 2/3 and 4/2 charge for five mana and two cards if you have a DWA on board is soooooooooooooooooooooo overpowered.
This does little to make me calm down about Warsong getting nerfed instead of Molten Giant because I can hold a grudge forever
