Pirate Warrior will still be a pretty good deck in Wild. But it will have tough times i standard. We'll all see what the replacement for Fiery War Axe will be.

And look at that. 1 week later and druid isn't even that successful BEFORE THE NERF. Yet another case of the average player relying on net-decking, so they get upset that there are no decks that skilled players constructed to counter it yet. So they complain about imbalance until Blizzard ruins the game's balance for them. Same thing happened to Starcraft.

Basic cards should never be top tier, and auto includes, especially since day one. Also glad they're not sticking Basic cards in the Hall of Fame, which should be reserved for cards you potentially payed for with money (even F2P gold/dust) and don't want to see nerf batted this hard.

played a few token druid games yesterday won like 90% of the games didn't drew innervate in most of them this change will barely do anything to aggro druid sadly they might even keep the new innervate just for tempo, the deck is overtunes specially with crypt lord and driid of the swarm.

also tried to add counterfeit coins to aggro rogue with moderate success.

so basically it only weakens jade and token druid is still broken AF

People are complaining endlessly about Jades and UI, so blizzard nerfs innervate into the ground? There were so many more elegant, less destructive ways to nerf the card posed by the community. Does not inspire confidence in the dev team.

The nerf on its face doesn't offend me.  What offends me is making two collectible cards identical in mana cost and card text. 

This and counterfeit coin.

Arcane shot and holy smite.

This practice must be stopped.

What aggro decks?

 The ones that will swarm the ladder now that Jade druid has a weakness to aggro, and the fact that pirate warrior is all but dead and that was holding so many other aggro decks back.  This will change the entire meta.  Jades no longer S tier.

 None of the aggro decks will be as good as murloc pally, pirate warrior, and aggro druid were. Expect to see even more jade druid now that they are nerfed.

 Well it's early, but jade druids are struggling due to a heavy aggro meta.  I can't say I didn't see this coming!

 Actually the only real bad aggro match up is hunter .

The others are 49 percent at worst .

I voted No because while the card did indeed need to be nerfed, they could have done something a little more imaginitive than make it exactly the same as coin. The card has been rendered unplayable. It shouldn't be the goal to destroy a card, just weaken it's advantage somehow. 

As people have said, they could have made it so it refreshes 2 mana. This way, it couldn't be used to play an early Ultimate Infestation.

If ultimate infestation is a problem on it's own, why not nerf it? Then again, that wouldn't make much sense to marketing. It's better to take away the stables of the F2P/beginner so that they'll spend more money.

 

could have been nerfed better or in a way that didn't make it the same as the coin, but it's still useful and it's not crippling like the war axe nerf.

Retarded change, the only really strong druid deck is jades yet they decided to hit every single druid deck with the nerf. I have no clue why they didn't just nerf jade idol, it seems to be the only real problem in jade druid and they haven't had a problem gutting other cards that created problematic decks. I'm not sure if they think the deck is interactive because it has minions but infinite minions does not have any counterplay either.
