Right now we are having a problem where games end too quickly I think there need to be substantial nerfs in order to fix the current problem. Unless they want to give every class stalling tools like ice block and a way to counter cards in your opponent's hand, there isn't another solution.
OTK decks and archetypes should should r0t in h3ll!!
Not an unpopular opinion. As an OTK player myself (who ain't touching current standard), I'd say that they're fine - and required - when they're acting as a brake on greedy control, ensuring that those decks don't just devolve into fatigue with no wincons. When they're reliably going off fast? That's unhealthy for the game. When it's something like old school freeze, or even just janky/shaky/bad OTKs, it's very different to current STD.

There does indeed need to be a balance. And right now the needle is pointing way toward quick and/or OTK decks. I realize that perfect balance will never happen; but the situation needs fixing and quickly. I know some players dislike Priest but if Priest is nearly unplayable then the game is in trouble.
Oh, and you have to laugh at the OP. His/her/its first post and all it achieves is to troll the flames of the community.

Dependable loan sharks since 1960. We sink our teeth into every deal we make.
There is no way to buff cards out of the problem here.
Also the power level of the current pool of cards is SUPER high. They'd just be introducing more power creep. The new OTK-style decks are just too fast, and they can draw too much and that needs to be nerfed.
Cards getting nerfed should be made a rare thing. Only if the card is game-breaking and abusable should the devs roll out a nerf.
Instead, they should buff archetypes that need help, to challenge the OP decks.

Clueless designers. That's all.
Everyone cried when rez priest was a viable archetype. Now they want slower games. Guess we shouldn’t have nerfed apotheosis right?
did all of your 2 braincells get together to make this thought?
game ending on turn 5-8 most of the time is just stupid so nobody is playing 8-10 drops becouse you dont have time to play them
So which cards do you buff to stop turn 5 OTK lethal?
Rez priest wasnt slow, was boring n unfair
