Yogg is still fine/good to play. He is not dead. Friends are still having success with him, even at rank 2. Streamers are still climbing with him. Decks are still being submitted to competitive events with Yogg included.
Like i forecast in my post #1141 right at the announcement, where many disagreed. they didn't nerf him hard enough. The order of spells matter.
Ding dong the witch is dead! Goodbye Yogg! You will not be missed.
Were you not paying attention to the meta? Or were you stuck in rank 20-19? Yogg was WAY overpowered. It's essentially a coin-flip: If he helps you, you win. If he doesn't do anything, you lose. Coin flip. Neither fun, nor interactive.
A few hours after the nerf I face my first Yogg after the opponent cast 13+ spells: the first spell yogg gets polymorphed and opponent instaconcedes. RIP Yogg
As of the Yogg Nerf patch, the Card Clarifications section is inaccurate. It says: "Yogg is able to hit himself with the spells cast. If he dies during the Battlecry, it will still continue. (Source)" This needs Mod attention.
Is this guy still worth crafting?
no. unless you like to torture yourself.
This nerf isn't all that terrible. Let's be honest with ourselves, Yogg was always a busted card with suicidal tendencies. Your win condition was essentially to play a bunch of spells and stall until BLAMMO, your lord and savior RNGesus comes to town. Call of the Wild, then Gang Up on your Yogg, then Blizzard, you get the picture. So, this nerf does a lot to balance the card. Of course, since Yogg almost always kills himself, this makes him less of a card to build a deck around. You can just throw in a couple spells and then drop him whenever for a little bit of fun. And that's really what this nerf does IMO, makes him more fun than game-breaking.
Who had him in Golden version, has got 3200 free dust :)
RIP Frog-Saron

F,Warsong commander just turned in her grave when she heard about the nerf
I mean it seems pretty legit, like this is what would normally happen to a spell casting minion... but DAMMIT NOT YOGG. YOGG CAN DO ANYTHING!! FUCK YOU BLIZZARD ;-;
They should have at least given him more health..
