It could also be elemental. But that would be week 3 with a boost to elementals
I don’t think any of that deters them. They’ve doubled and even tripled up on stuff like that before if they saw fit.
I guess what I’m saying is I don’t expect the Devs to arbitrarily say “oh, we can’t boost elves, we just did that a couple of weeks ago”.
OK…Diff time!
Changes observed in game files:

Can I get the information on May’s mythic? It may be the first time I go fishing on release day – unless Stonehammer gets a serious upgrade.

It doesn’t have a spell for now, so it’s impossible to tell how good it is yet.
Still, here’s all available details for future mythics (Though Stonehammer did not change, I put him in as well for completeness sake).

Ooh I’ve wanted that combo for a while…
Conflagration, maybe?

Oh boy, get ready for even more Courage teams on PVP.

That’s… alarming and depressing…

If Aspect of Courage was +1 Attack instead of +3, this would not be nearly as much of a problem; Courage would still be by far the most useful guardian, but it wouldn’t be as extreme as at present. Not sure what the reasoning is behind leaving the trait as-is for so long.

While we may touch on Courage later, we are unsure if he is just a symptom of the Bone Dragon problem. Once the Bone Dragon change is released with 3.0 Patch, we will be reviewing the guardians.

Please just compare Courage to Loyalty…
Making a skull attack will (in general, very roughly) trigger at least as often as casting a spell… and both can be set up tactically to happen more often.
On trait effect:
- Loyalty gives +2 Life/Armour (+4 ‘face value’ in the old measures)
- Courage gives +3 Attack/Life (+9 'face value)
Surely they could at least be the other way around, as in Loyalty has +3/+3 and Courage +2/+2. That puts both to a +6 ‘face value’…
(not to digress too far into my views on Guardians balance, sorry)
Back to spoilers:
@yonizaf did you mean to include
…with Captain Skullbeard? I assume he’s legit for next week?

He is. That’s just a standard disclaimer so people don’t think it’s posted by a dev and complain when it changes (apparently a thing). I was asked by a dev to make sure people don’t think my images are official, especially if I post them without a spoiler tag.
If you have a better suggestion for how to say that, that would be great. I’m not a native English speaker, so these things happen and I’m open to feedback.

Maybe it’s fine, it just confused me… but I see what you mean.
I don’t want people to get confused. Are you sure you can’t think of any way to improve on that?
You could write:
This spoiler image is fan-assembled from draft game content, and not officially sanctioned by the developers.

That’s a bit long, especially if I also want to include it in the image itself.
For now I think I’ll go with: “This spoiler image is fan-assembled from game files, and UNOFFICIAL.”. Is that clear enough? Or more improvement needed?

That sounds perfect to me.
If you want to go full-on grammar Nazi, make it “and is UNOFFICIAL” at the end so the two phrases have the same structure.
That’s clear to me.
