I don't think the nerf is enough. the nerf need to restrict the number of spells he casts or the amount of high mana spells he casts.
Wow
dude the card is dead. i have played yogg enough to tell you that he almost never survives his own. But he also stops when he gets silenced or transformed aka almost every time
all depends on the order of spells. if he already drew you a bunch of cards, cleared enemy's board, creates a board on your side, then silence or morphs itself, it already done it's job. most of the time, clearing or wiping the entire board is what the player wants. Especially in druid, where you want to slow down or reset the board so you can draw into your combo pieces.
You can speculate that the card is dead but once it ruins another tournament where players are knocked out due to stupid yogg plays, we'll be back to this discussion.
My guess is that it'll still see play and possibly in druid.
not anymore
Yogg is definitely the god of madness , just look at all those salty and complain threads about him ^.^
I'll admit, it's kinda fun to see all the spells Yogg-Saron will whip out, regardless of who's actually getting affected by them. And it's hilarious when your opponent plays it only to get more screwed over than he already was, like when he casts Gang Up to disable Reno Jackson.
... But if I get this card in a pack, I'm probably going to dust it in favour of other, less luck-based legendaries, like Mal'Ganis, N'Zoth, the Corruptor, or even Ragnaros, Lightlord.
The GOD of Hearthstone. He controls us. Everything! He do whatever he likes! All bow down to the true GOD!
Yogg Saron is a MLG Quickscoper who quickscopes all the buff spells on your opponent's minion.
I know there are people like me who know that Yogg is terrible for the game but we obviously can't convince all people that he's bad because they are playing him and winning with him. And everyone likes to win.
The perfect solution would be having Banlist in the game, just like in Yugioh. Those cards would be forbidden for standard but you could still play them in Wild (Because that's exactly what Yogg is -wild and that's where he should belong not in competitive [Standard] mode).
This card is "state of arts" design, so fun makes me want to watch hearthstone games again and again and again.
hiho Sylvanas
No skill? Can't use brain? Welp, this card definitely can help.
"rng is fun" (c) ben brode skills end

Mana Wraith Turn 9 new meta versus Yogg-Saron, Hope's End.
Really a silly card. Someone will be happy and someone will be upset based entirely on RNG. It shows virtually no regard for what happened on prior turns. Not a smart move Blizzard. Can't wait to see Blizzcon Championship where Yogg-Saron, Hope's End jumps out of the game to collect his championship trophy. Flavor Text should be changed to Decider of Champions.
Solution? Create a list of unique spells for Yogg to cast. Similar to how certain adventures are, so Yogg can stop using OP spells like Mind Control and Call of the Wild. Or simply put, ban certain spells Yogg is able to cast that create extremely heavy swings.
Perfectly balanced.
The most fun card that is useful and creative Blizzard has ever created! good job blizzard! we all love to hate but this card is such a work of arts, nonetheless.
watching many of the tournaments being played, where a lot of money is on the line, and Yogg is deciding a lot of games, if this is the direction blizzard wants to take hearthstone, it just solidifies that this is just a luck game now,
just got screwed by Yogg :( opponent played sylvanas i played yogg,sylvanas got killed opponent stole yogg and continued to cast spells for my opponent :( bastard !! haha funny moment tho :D
