Brewmaster Juggling Again?

With the updated Shadowstep as apparent from the livestream today, it now reduces the Mana cost of the returned minion by 2. I'm wondering if this 2 Mana cost reduction is a permanent Mana cost reduction or not. If the 2 Mana cost reduction is permanent, then we have Knife Juggler + Brewmaster combo once again. Just Shadowstep each Brewmaster at some point in the game, not necessarily on the same turn, and then once you have everything ready to go, drop that Knife Juggler and insta-win.

So, is the Mana cost reduction of Shadowstep permanent?

When a card is returned to your hand, it is wiped clean of all effects. Shadowstep reduces the cost by 2 after that happens, but any future times it returns to your hand, that effect will be gone. Sorry Brewmasters!
