Its just ridiculous at this point how a control card is used in every single aggro deck to deal 8dmg to your face. Like its not even funny anymore how every game aggro decks use a 9 mana card to finish you off. At this point the card needs desperately a nerf if this keeps going

Why, it is good.

It should just be a Paladin card that will end the problem lol

If you want a card nerfed you should think that it's good that everyone plays it. Balance team will get all the data it needs 

I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that it's a control card.  It clearly does 8 damage to whatever I want to so I can put it in any deck I want to.  Weirdly enough it also heals?  Me or my minions?  That's not really necessary but it's cool I guess - but I'll point it face to win games and smile because Alexstraza is a cool dragon :)

Blame the devs, not the players.

stop complaining about alex in every deck

Yeah, it's clearly too slow! 

can u tell ur family to stop producing you are enough for this world

Stop playing cards in every deck!

its a midrange deck finisher, when the meta is 90% midrange decks what do you expect

Alex Alex who the f*ck is Alex???

Alextrasa. In mobas you always shorten the name and Alex is playable in hots

It's a dead card for at least 8 turns, win before turn 9 if you're aggro or keep your health total high enough if you're control.

Force them to use Alex for the heal or to target one of your minions.

There are many ways to deal with it, and paladin's winrate aside, if aggro decks are consistently running 9 mana cards, it means the game is in good shape. You should be thankful that aggro decks don't end their curve at 4 mana.

It's the first expension of the year. Standard decks doesn't have a lot of option atm. 9 mana 8/8 deal 8 isn't that good. It won't see play later in the year once better cards are getting printed.

 This is a good point, if you suspect/assume an aggro deck is running Alex, just take measures to make sure you don't go below 9 Health.  Play to stay above 8 and you should be fine.

Bing bong 

at least it’s not ashes of outlands release Demon Hunter budski

Back in my day we had 2 mana mech with windfury that got +2/+2 off powermace and you died by turn 5 guaranteed 

you whippersnappers and your “8 damage on turn 9” problems... we had to walk up hill both ways to hearthstone 

Hunters have had it too good with their deal 8 for 9 mana King Krush.

Wait a minute . . . Hunters can run Alex too!!!

dun dun dun!!!

Telling everyone what to do won't work
