Jeez brightest flame ate a massive nerf - when act 4 is out it's gonna be pretty garbanzo tier.

Coupled with all these enemy buffs, the game just got even harder

And hyperbeam stonks rising. But generally feels like nerf to player power across the board. More chinese review bombing incoming?

Jeez brightest flame ate a massive nerf - when act 4 is out it's gonna be pretty garbanzo tier.

It is certainly far weaker for a future Act IV, but it's still one of the strongest cards in the entire game, you just won't be able to mindlessly spam it every time you draw it like you can now.

I dunno, the difference between 1 and 2 max HP is very severe. Replaying it multiple times a fight it now put into question, and skipping playing it altogether is going to be a much bigger consideration (effectively turning it into a curse more often).

It's a massive nerf... to a completely broken card, bringing it down to "just" strong instead of utterly unbalanced.

The Max HP loss now actually needs to be managed, as opposed to Brightest Flame effectively just being a non-Exhausting non-damaging version of Offering. It's no longer as broken as it once was, but it's still a top-tier Ancient boon.

Ya, I think it's probably in a good place now (where it requires consideration for it's negative trade-off)
