Upcoming Balance Changes for Goblins vs Gnomes - Forums - Hearthstone
Soulfire now costs 1 (up from 0)
Soulfire, along with fast and powerful minions, allowed Warlock rush decks to get ahead on the board and stay ahead. We've upped Soulfire's mana cost by 1 to slow down the Warlock rush deck just a bit and allow more players time to react and interact against the Warlock.
Gadgetzan Auctioneer now costs 6 (up from 5)
Gadgetzan Auctioneer's ability allows for a player to potentially draw many cards for little cost. Card draw and card advantage are important to the game-overall, games are less interesting when a player draws their entire deck. This change brings Gadgetzan Auctioneer's cost more in line with its power level.
Flare now costs 2 (up from 1)
Flare allowed the Hunter an advantage versus decks that revolve around Secrets, while also allowing the Hunter to draw a card for little cost. We want to encourage a variety of decks in Hearthstone. With this change, Flare will continue to be useful against decks playing Secrets, but will be weaker against other decks

Quick observations:
1 murloc
3 pirates (including cannon)
lots of anti-spell cards (can't be targeted & when opponent plays a spell...)
Tree of Life - extremely long games, super-late game druid? anti Alexstraesza? Hero power tons of minions then full heal turn 9?
Hemet Nesingwary - Destroy a Beast. Interesting since druid will now use beasts too and can be used against druid of the claw, their most commonly used card. Can save Black Knight for another taunter.
Fel Reaver - 5 mana 8/8 but discard 3 cards every time opponent plays a card ... holy bad but maybe good in some super-specific deck somehow? Like super-rush deck idk.
Anima Golem - 6 mana 9/9, dies if you don't have another minion on board at end of each turn, great for freeze mage?
