April 2016 Card Nerf
It was announced on April 20th, 2016 that Ancient of Lore would receive a nerf.
- Card draw reduced to 1 card, down from 2.
Quote from BlizzardDrawing cards is powerful in Hearthstone, and Ancient of Lore easily found its way into nearly every popular Druid deck. We’d like Druid players to feel that other cards can compete with Ancient of Lore, so we’ve reduced the number of cards drawn from 2 to 1.
"but I think that ancient of lore was a playable card"
Every. Druid. Deck.
Except for token/aggro Druid, like Kotg, it was an auto-include.
Did I miss the point where every single druid card needed a nerf? lol this class is going to be complete dumpster now.
Good f***in riddance.
Once you take away force of nature + savage roar (which is perfectly fine to take away) what does druid have left? The last few decent cards they have left just got nerfed in to the ground.
A bunch of situational cards. Swipe is decent, other board clears from other classes are better. Druid of the claw is all around good. That's about it. Cenarius? lol.. doesn't even see play in most constructed decks.
Good nerf. Makes the card more balanced, but I fear it mihgt not be included in most druid decks anymore, unless we get an archetype that really needs to cycle and/or heal a lot
Other than that, Nourish might be playable now if you have a very card-dependant control druid....I mean it feels lke a slightly better Sprint and since the meta is expected to slow down anyways....guess we'll see what happens
I wuv this card it doesnt need to be nerfed
with a 5/5 body, it over shadows A LOT of the other card draw effects. This new version is balanced and fair.
The point is this card was an auto-include in virtually every druid deck for a reason. The combo wasn't the only thing broken in Druid. Why deny reality?
Remember when this card used to heal for 8 health back in beta? THAT was really overpowered.
Druid deserved every nerf, fuck druid.
Whoop, that is a free Yogg-Saron, Hope's End for me when I DE my golden version of it.
Innervate + Ancient of Lore = Orgasm
Ancient of Loregasm
Vanilla 5 mana 5/5 Kreygasm
My favorite card in the game.
They're leaves sir. LEAVES!
This guy is one of the best minions in the game. I would love 2 gold ones.
