with new cards like Toxic Sewer Ooze coming out in this expansion it seems blizzard want to move away from Acidic Swamp Ooze's destroy your weapon for the weaker remove a durability. what do you guys think, will we see a nerf to swamp ooze either changing its effect or reducing its stats(2/2 maybe).
Not to mention swamp ooze usually only removes one durability from a weapon when you take into account the likelihood you've already taken a weapon hit. It's not a broken card in any way, and it's only effective against 4/9 classes. 5 if one of the others plays Medivh
But i think they should. To indiscriminately punish the entire community for all the incessant bitching they did about rogue sucking and jade druid being OP.
Guess what whiners? Miracle is t1 and evem ahead of agro shaman at legend ranks, and jade druid is barely represented at all at legend. Hahahaha...
You need to understand something about Blizzard: They are really really bad at card design but they KNOW they are bad, so they make cards like Ooze so that when they inevitably make insane weapons, there's something people can play while they twiddle their thumbs waiting to fix their mistakes.
I am in the minority here, but I can see him being nerfed to 2/2 because he's now an autoinclude and restricts design space for weapons. Harrison is too slow and has terrible stats at 5/4 for 5 mana but ooze is vanilla and can be played turn 2 for tempo vs. non weapon classes too. I expect Blizzard to also nerf winaxe and other OP weapons too.

Ooze is autoinclude because it's literally one of two reliable weapon counters in this entire game, and there's a ton of weapon-using classes dominating the meta currently. Removing durability from a weapon a la Bloodsail Corsair is garbage if you're facing something with a lot of charges, like Doomhammer. I disagree that this "limits design space" since you see weapons that hedge against their own destruction, like Hammer of Twilight, coming out as a response which is interesting.
If anything, ooze should maintain its stats and there should be more cards with a "destroy weapon" mechanic rather than just removing weapon durability IMHO.

No. Acidic Swamp Ooze is a tech card, just like Harrison Jones. It does not have any OP effect or anything, it helps against a specific meta.

Oh yeah totally. Ooze is really oppressing all these aggro warrior/shaman decks. /s What are you smoking op?
i never said i thought it was OP or needed the nerf. BUT i think blizz might nerf it

Please don't take away one of the only basic good cards for ftp newbs.
I like to make cards and discuss game balance.
I enjoy when "No similar decks were found."

No. That's absolutely bullshit.
No, I don't think so.
No. Please don't ever post again.
When you invest mana into the board, it has to be able to be answered.
Be it minions or weapons.
Removing one durability from something like an Ashbringer or Doomhammer is garbage so of course not.
Obvious troll thread, right?
Apparently, Hearthpwn won't save your signature if it's empty.
I dont think they will OP.

I'm pretty sure Toxic Sewer Ooze was only made so Reno decks can have two cards against weapons.

No. We should not expect to see a swamp Ooze nerf some time in the near future. Nor in a distant one.
If you say LUL in Twitch chat you are a moron. If you do it outside of Twitch - even more so!
