So i've also checked the patch notes now. I like most of the changes to current cards and leaders...
However, among all this excitement and debate of the new cards and changes to Harmony, i see the SY changes aren't getting any attention.
They have nerfed to hell, both Congregate leader and Sacred Flame artefact. I get it, these two in their current state + new cards supporting Fireswarm would be very powerful, but im not sure it warranted these changes.
Congregate recently got very popular, but not for fireswarm decks, because its leader ability combo'ed perfectly with whoreson senior, for a crime/gord deck. This deck is BS, and now because of it, Congregate ability suffers - only provides 4/6 pts, no coins, has to be used on a single charge, requires an additional firesworn unit to achieve max value...
I think i wont even bother using it for fireswarm decks, 6pts is laughable for a leader.
And Sacred Flame, nobody was using it, and i get its effect conflicts with the whole new thing of turning zealots into footmen, but now it basically sucks EVERYTIME (4pts on deploy for 9prov, 12 pts max on a full row), while before it provided great value if not instantly removed by bomb heavers...
