Mid Range druid was the best deck when I started in vanilla hearthstone and it is the best deck now. And it is pretty much the same deck. As much as people complain about flavor of the month decks like face shaman or anyfin paladin, druid is always the best.
That said, nerfing 3 cards in the deck? Way too much. I hope he is wrong.
Divine Favor is the most "broken" card because it punishes card advantage. Out of all the crazy combos I can lose to, Divine Favor stings the most because I could have played smart, made favourable trades, played my own card draw minions and then get punished for that. It is the one I am most looking forward to being changed.
i think hes way off from what will really happen. not so much for the cards he chose but the changes he suggested.. no offense but he said on gvg that implosion is a bad card.... like really? i was a noob at the game and i knew this card was very good. generally "pros" in their predictions are quite off.....
I just watched the video. A few of his comments seem perfectly reasonable - the Innervate nerf has been mentioned by others, and seems more than acceptable. Some of his justifications fall a little flat, however. Lots of "it's just stupid," rather than explaining the underlying tension that a potentially problematic card introduces to the game. A few of the cards he selected (and quite a few of his 'honourable mentions') don't really seem to be problematic at all - Azure Drake, for example, has phased in and out of the meta for the past two years. During Naxx and GvG, it all but disappeared from decks other than Rogue and Mech Mage, as the meta-game was quite aggressive, and Drake was often considered too slow. Animal Companion and Truesilver Champion have never been a problem, nor do either seem particularly limiting of design space - if the argument, "it's in every class-specific deck" is taken as universally valid, then Blizzard would have to nerf far more than the dozen or so cards which they have apparently decided upon. Unleash the Hounds, Kill Command, Frostbolt, Wrath, Fiery War Axe, Power Word: Shield, Eviscerate, Deadly Poison, and others will have to be added to the list of usual suspects. But I don't suspect that any of these cards limit design space - the vanilla set ought to be allowed to have a fair number of perfectly playable cards, whether or not they are "just stupid," (whatever that is supposed to mean.)
Yeah, it's a pretty ridiculous wish list, very obviously colored by the class and play style he prefers. The only card I think he's completely right about is Leper Gnome.

Amaz called flamewaker awful "he is just spell damage +2, nobody play soot spewer, would you play soot spewer if he gave one more spell power? no!" Or something along those lines.
And he has been off on a lot of other cards too....
So I stopped caring about his predictive opinions since then. Maybe he'll get slightly over 25%, but that's just pure speculation overall.
he is making a loooot of very weird comparisons. "X is just a 5 mana Y". Well no, most of the times its not.
Savage Roar will only buff minions, Force of Nature will spawn token but without charge, juggler will trigger only on played minions, BGH will deal 5 dmg to 7+ minions, molten giant will be nerf to cost no less than 3, doomhammer will be nerfed.
Those are the predictions from other streamers and I think they are more in line with Blizzard than Amaz. The only nerf he shared with other ones it's leper gnome.

how would you nerf doomhammer? i thought about it but besides changing price/overload i dont think there is a good way without breaking the card.
To me it seems that Amaz just picked cards to nerf he is butt hurt over. I only agree with his nerf to change BGH. I was hoping for more constructive feedback. I like how to he made himself as the all time rule maker of Hearthstone. "It shouldn't work this way." "That's just stupid." He sounded like a toddler to be honest. I don't think Amaz to that relevant to the meta.

His judgement is so biased..

Amaz is really bad at Hearthstone. Still waiting on that Curse of Rafaam deck he promised would 'dominate the game.'
Even in arena he's a joke.

Amaz is relevant?
"It's just stupid" is not a valid argument. Seems kind of biased, and wrong at times.
Agree with some of the cards and some of the nerfs, but a lot of them... well, they're just stupid.

Voted: Well he only plays arena......
i dont even mouse over on that video, amaz gives me cancerino
"Well he only plays arena......" What? He is not even that much of an Arena player. I don't get this option.
Anyways, I agree with a lot of them but I'm not sure about the others. Blizzard said they will nerf/change about 10 to 12 cards so, here's my list
1. Savage Roar
2. Innervate
3. Leper Gnome
4. Ironbeak Owl
5. Knife Juggler
6. Master of Disguise (because of design limitations)
7. Big Game Hunter
8. Molten Giant
9. Mountain Giant
10. Preparation
11. Alexstrasza
