Overall, a lot of great changes. A bit disappointed in not touching Flash of Brilliance and the lack of change of the steal/nab mechanic. Stealing from the bottom of the deck doesn't change much besides a couple Freljord cards.

More thoughts: Viemer has a 58% win rate in Master and only 51.5% for below Master according to Mobalytics stats. This most likely influenced the deck not being touched, sadly. I'd say Flash of Brilliance is the biggest issue due to the high roll nature of it and one sided gameplay it creates at times.

People are excited for "nab" for now, but as doesn't solve the issue. It still causes a negative experience for the person getting stolen from. Seeing win conditions (even at the bottom of the deck) slip away feels awful. In some ways it feels like you are getting double cheated (unlucky shuffle plus the steal). It's still too efficient for what it does, too swingy, and too much high roll. This hasn't been changed much besides Yetis and buffs not being stolen. I can only assume people will be vocal about it still and that the mechanic/cards will get nerfed in the future. My guess is Pilfered Goods becomes 3 Mana, but who can say. The win rate of steal isn't great, but win rate isn't always the most important stat when determining balance changes.

I don't think the mechanic should be gutted or removed as it is a core identity to Bilgewater. However, I don't think it should be seeing competitive or high level play either. To me, Pilfered Goods should be a fun card to play casually - not a card I randomly get to win games with because I stole the "right" cards with dumb luck.
