Historic rebalances for RW energy: Galvanic Discharge, Guide of Souls, and Ocelot Pride
(mtgzone.com)
Wizards rebalanced 3 cards in Historic effective tomorrow, all in RW energy and related decks:
- Galvanic Discharge now only gives you 2 energy
- Guide of Souls now requires 4 energy to get the counters/flying
- Ocelot Pride now costs 1W
In response to the last Arena Champs: "Making up 58% of the field at the most recent Arena Championship 6, Boros Energy demonstrated its power at one of the highest levels of competitive play."
Ocelot Pride feels very much like they needed a "new Ragavan" and designed it specifically to be a chase mythic.
A lot of the problem cards feel like they were playtested, and then development decided to turn up power level even higher.
Yea I think you're right, I remember reading somewhere that Wizards may change the card abilities up to the last minute too. Perhaps it was more balanced at one point.
