Can we discuss Imps?
So they cost 1 now.

Here is how I feel about that:
First off I have to agree that 0 cost Imps felt really strong and even overpowered at times.
However, I also feel like just increasing their cost without giving them anything else makes them too weak in the sense that they aren't versatile enough anymore to provide general support for any strategy, (which they are probably meant to do as there are cards and artifacts that give random Imps which might not even synergize with anything in the deck) mostly because they can't be upgraded in the way spells can be. There is no common stone that reduces the cost of a minion.

In the right decks they still have a strong IMPact but I just can't help it but want to stuff them in all of my hellhorned decks. They are just too cute.

imps are meant to be sacrificed and eaten.

Im IMPartial to the imp meta, but i do agree that they some slight IMPerfections and demons feel a little bit IMPeded compared to the other factions, and could use a minor IMProvement all around.

probably just give them like... +1 rage, +3 armor, etc or more damage.

Minor buffs would probably be OK, but imps aren't terrible as-is. Any of them can fit into a deck for one reason or another, like the Flame Imp is just straight up AOE damage way outclassing base Vent (of course Vent can gain Magic Power...) and leaving you a token to soak up a hit too.

Imp as a deck is really not that bad, assuming you get enough artifacts and cards to support it. If your other class has units with Summon effects, it can get even more busted, like Transendimps that give you free capacity or gain +60 max health on summon (from 1 Awoken Hollow). You still need Damage, but Sacrifice Imp and especially Implosion are great, and Consumer of Crowns exists, hide him behind a group of Imps (the first Imp with tons of armor due to Welder Imp) and let him wreck.
