Psychic Scream will be nerfed in a couple months. Aside from being the best board clear ever, it also breaks several archetypes. And its going to a class that is already top tier. It even ruins the already awful new Hunter card To My Side! by destroying its condition.
So how will it be nerfed, or how should it be nerfed? This is my first thought below:
What are your ideas?
EDIT: Apologies for the poll. Not sure how that happened
The new Exodia Mage is likely going to keep Priest in check just enough to where it wont get nerfed... besides Highlander Priest is getting nerfed into oblivion once Raza rotates out.

The community won't stand 4 months. Blizzard will cave into pressure and nerf after about 2 months like always

Priest isn't Pre Nerf Jade Druid level OP and I doubt it will be. Exodia Mage is going to be insane against it, so while Priest is getting stronger and Big Decks will no longer be able to counter it, Exodia being the new counter should be sufficient until Raza Rotates out soon.

Nerf? It serves its purpose pretty well I'd say, and that is to counter aggro/tempo decks. Against control or Jade, shuffling minion, even 2 would give the opponent fatigue advantage.
This card is by no means broken, as it has disadvantages which is shuffling big boards such as those of a Big Druid or N'Zoth. Cards like UI is clearly problematic, but its downside is that it can overdraw your deck and fatigue faster. However, UI is broken right now because of the infinite Jade Idols and insane ramp, aside from that it is nothing scary.
Best board clear? Maybe. Vanish is a close contender as it is a similar effect and costs 1 less.
Also, I would recommend the salt thread (someone put the link for me, I'm too lazy to find it) if you want to passive-aggressively complain about this card under the guise of a "pre-nerf" discussion.
It's not merely a power level issue, it's a fun issue. Psychic scream alone makes so many decks unplayable. I was only partly joking in mentioning To My Side!. The card my suck, but people won't even experiment with it because Psychic Scream wrecks it.
One of my favorite decks (I know it sucks) is meme paladin, but this card is a hard counter to even that.
Any Paladin other than murlocs stands no chance because of heavy reliance on buff spells.
Evolve shaman will be drawing from a deck full high-cost minions that did not start there.
The card is insanely powerful. Priest getting too much love. I mean, I would personally play Dragon Priest, but man... it's a bit much this time. Priest oscillates between this and Purify... how does that even make sense?
I don’t think this card is the problem... the problem is the Raza-Anduin interaction is insanely strong and this card just buys you more time as the priest to kill people. I want to see Raza nerfed personally, for the sake of wild more than just these next 4 months. The Raza and Anduin interaction is just way too damn strong in wild. You’d think that having access to all the cards in the games history would give you a ton of deck building possibilities but it really doesn’t, because Reno Priest just beats everything. Psychic scream is yet another answer that probably makes another couple of fun wild decks unplayable. Before long it will be play priest or stick to standard mode only and that’s really a shame IMO.

yeah dude, because it counters the worst card in the entire expansion it needs to be nerfed into the ground

Maybe wait until it actually sees play before you start swinging the nerf bat around frantically.
I do think it will be nerfed eventually likely by raising the cost a mana or two. It will still be playable, especially for Highlander priest.
If you are in your first year of playing please read this post.
Dust does not burn a hole in the jar. Be careful what you craft, especially before and right after a rotation.
Tnis card probably wont get nerfed, lightbomb and dragonfire are both insane v!ears and theyve never heen even considered by blizz for a nerf
They should make it a 7 mana card that shuffles all minions into your opponents deck. I think that would be a pretty fair and balanced card.

Tempo Mage to the rescue it will defeat both Highlander and Exodia Mage :D
Only one nerf need to be done, put the correct cost for the card, 10 manas.

N'zoth decks are finished.
The list goes on.

Omg people have some dignity

Wasn't there a Ultimate Infestation pre-nerf thread back in August? How'd that work out?
