I am glad they nerfed this, wish it was not just this and innervate though, nourish should have the mana ramp nerfed, if they did that and did not nerf warrior or paladin I would be totally happy with the changes. For now I am worried karazhan nerfs were better for the game than this set will be.

The strongest thing you can do in the game currently is build a large board of strong minions while using as few cards as possible. SP does more than most decks can with one card, it's too powerful, simple as that. there's nothing in the game that beats it for value. 

 6 mana summon a 1/5 taunt

Yep, great value.  Or maybe it's your own damned fault for not playing around it.

i don't like that they nerfed the anti-aggro card, would have been much happier with a jade card nerf

All relevant aggro decks nerfed: Token druid (innervate), Pirate Warrior (win axe) and Murloc Paladin (war leader). Jade will brush off this nerf like it's nothing. 

Not enough. Get ready for some more months of Jadestone.

 Remember to do your breathing exercises.

its not 6 mana summon 1/5 taunt just like unleash isn't 3 mana summon a 1/1 charge. It's never the minimum value. In magical hypothetical world where you live maybe you can always "play around it" and still win but for those of us in reality its probably still too good. 

I think I just switch to Saronite Chain Gang.  Cheaper and better vs. control IMHO.

Should be nerfed further to 1/4 imo.

You want to know how broken Spreading Plague is? Look at the original "version" of this card FOR WARRIOR. Its called Protect the King!. This not only shows how OP Spreading Plague is, but also how Warrior almost always gets fucked in every way (this and the war axe nerf, which didn't need a nerf in any way).

It's the single-handedly strongest card in the entire game and not without reason the number 1 card in play percentage. The timing might have been better in the past, so warrior could have gotten replacement removals for 2 mana, but that's about it, it absolutely did need a nerf. You are delusional if you say otherwise. As for, Protect the King, it's fairly balanced. Instead of

As for, Protect the King, it's fairly balanced. Instead of charge, it has taunt compared to Unleash the Hounds, which was the obvious inspiration. It synergies with taunt-synergies warrior has access to (not saying it's great in any way, tho). That said, Spreading Plague is ridiculous. The tokens are too good and it counters one of druids few weakness all alone.

 Unfortunately correct - unless Blizz just kills Jade Idol. Skulking Geist is but a pathetic, lousy, clumsy, expensive (6 mana!!) remedy to'em.
