AmalgadonMurlocs, Pirates and Dragons come out ahead. Demons and Quilboar mostly give ground. The late game gets the biggest swings: three Tier 7 bodies grow, and Stalwart Kodo is reworked.

The three that matter
Futurefin
Ten points on each stat and no text change. The card itself still passes its stats to the left-most minion in hand each turn, so the bigger base body is what grows.
Stalwart Kodo
A slightly smaller body, but each summon now gets double its maximum stats: 30/60 at base instead of 16/32, three times per combat. The one catch is that it now only buffs a different minion.
The Last One Standing
A smaller body and a smaller Rally. The Rally now improves by +1/+1 each time it fires, but it only reaches the old +15/+15 on its sixth Rally, and it takes eleven Rallies to give the same total.
Tribe scoreboard
Counts use the same buff/nerf classifier that powers the comparison page, so they match what the site reads off the raw card data.

Dark Paradox
Two of its five forms change. They are transformed variants, so they are not in the generated diff. The Tier 2 form goes from 2/6 gaining +3 Attack to 6/2 gaining +2 Health whenever you play a card. The Tier 3 form goes from 3/3 with +3/+3 per Battlecry to 4/4 with +4/+4.
