If blizzard wants to nerf the combo but buff the totems:
1. totem costs less but does not stack with itself.
2. totem has more health but effect is not active the turn it's played.
3. totems have greater effect but like summoning portal can't reduce below 1 cost
4. all 1,2 and 3 or some of each.
5. knife juggler doesn't trigger on the same minion more then 3(or some other number) times on the same turn, while the totem is buffed in costi effect and/or health.
6. general rule for not being able to play the same minion more than 3 times per turn while also buffing the totem.
7. number 6 for just bremasters instead of all minions.
8. if knife juggler deals 6 dmg to the enemy hero without the playing hero using mana he stops triggering his effect that turn.
If blizzard want to keep the combo but not buff it while buffing totems:
9. when youthfulbrewmasters are bounced on each other more than 3 times they automaticly continue to shuffle while the totems cost 3 but cost 4 (not effected by totem already in place) if there is already 1 in play.
10. same as 9 instead of brewmasters; when knife juggler triggers 6 times without the playing hero using mana he continues to automaticly dmg all enemy until they all die.
If blizzard wants to buff the combo and the totems:
11. 9 and 10 mechanics still in place but as an extra bonus the totems are now cheaper, have a greater effect and/or more health added to them.
I'm assuming the totems will be buffed but if not then the suggestions can still happen without the totem parts.
The combo for those who don't know:
play mana spring totem (4) - reduces cost on all cards by 1
play second mana spring totem (3) - now all costs are reduced by 2
play knife juggler (0) - whenever a minion is summoned deal 1 dmg to a random enemy
play youthful brewmaster (0) - return a friendly minion to your hand (use on some other minion) => triggers knife juggler
play second youthful brewmaster (0) - use on other brewmaster while triggering knife juggler for itself.
play the first brewmaster again on the second brewmaster while triggering knife juggler
repeat last two steps for infinite knife juggler procs.
