Yeah I feel like out of all the nerfs Naga Sea Witch got the absolute worst plausible outcome. I guess Giant decks seemed this polarizing after all. I enjoyed them for the most part and I didn't feel like they were anything absolutely bonkers. But we shall see how the meta shapes up after HCT.

I don't really mind Naga decks getting destroyed, however I do mind that this nerf killed the the original flavor / use of this card. This card will never be used outside of giants It can't be, I am aware that this card was (prior to Ungoro) miles below the power curve but because of these changes any chance it had seeing play outside of giants is forever gone which makes me a bit sad although if this is what it takes to lower the power level of giant decks than ill take it.
Great nerf. The card is still good, it just happens at a fair point in the game. I could still see it being used in a few decks over time (for example, Druid who hits 8 mana very quickly).
This nerf doesn't make any sense. The card wasn't a problem before it was indirectly buffed, so just change the it back to the original effect... "your cards ALWAYS cost 5".
At least this pretty much guarantees the death of Naga/Giant decks in wild. Plus; 800 free dust... so whatever. I just don't understand the thought process here.
By making this 8 mana they literally killed the Giant decks. Mark my words, people are going to cry about Control decks now. Especially Kabal and Reno varriations. (If we take into account how other nerfs will impact Wild). And it is not even a big loss for Giant lovers because they will play Big Priest now due to the fact that Barnes remains unchanged
Kingsbane Rogue might rise but it will be still vulnerable to heavy control priest with Arcibishop.
You're most likely going to be terribly dissappointed as Giants nerf might shake the meta up a slight bit, but I doubt it will be any better as Giants weren't such a problem anyways.

This. It wasn't broken, they broke it, then they reverted it and then they broke it again to end up nerfing to oblivion.

The thought process was that they were unwilling to change their "consistent" timing of cost-changing effects.
Maybe the system makes sense for the interaction of Bright Eyed Scout and Second-Rate Bruiser, I don't know. The real reason was to smooth out the coding of the Professor Putricide mission. Who cares about that? Now it should just be called "See Which Giants Naga".

Just too much... Would like to see it at 7 mana at most.
400 dust, thx blizz
Nice!
What happend if i buy now LoE? Will i get free 800 dust?
Not a good nerf. The best way to fix NSW is to revert her back to what was before the stealth buff that she recieved: "Your cards ALWAYS cost 5".
Simply as that.
For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?

Because of this, I'm willing to give (competitive) wild a try.
Nah, this card is garbage now. Most Wild decks can deal with a board full of minions on turn 8.

This is exactly the nerf i guessed for her!
And tbh, a fair one.
Btw, notice that the deck is not completely dead, just balanced: now it is basically a Quest Rogue with limited steam.
Nice, now I can play Wild again. :)
