Undertaker & Doomguard. Doomguard is one of the main reasons why i keep seeing people with legendary cardbacks & 0% skill, and undertaker just potentially wins the game if the mulligan goes as planned. I don't think that Loatheb should be nerfed, the stats are great and the effect is pretty balanced. Though when played on an empty table, it really shakes up the game.

I'd rather see cards getting buffs rather than being nerfed. I'm looking at cards like Magma Rager, Kidnapper, Far Sight, Savagery etc. Cards that are just so bad that they can't be played in any sensible deck.

You see a lot of legendary card backs on zoo players because they know its much faster than laddering with a control deck. Shorter games=more games per hour= faster legend. Most switch to something else when hitting rank 3-5. 

At the moment, I think Blizzard has to decide between which cards are powerful in the meta and which cards are warping the meta, if the adaptation of Miracles has taught us anything it's that Leeroy Jenkins, despite being a powerful card, wasn't as much of a problem as Gadgetzaan Auctioneer was/is and that it's the engine cards like Starving Buzzard, Mad Scientist and Undertaker that we have to be worried about when it comes to creating "unfair" decks in the evironment.

Loatheb really annoys me as a Legendary played in every deck, or playable in every deck as I've even seen him in Zoo, but I can't say it was any different for Leeroy Jenkins and now The Black Knight is damn near as omni-present so this may be something we just have to learn to live with.

I really wouldn't nerf Zoo, yeah it's annoying in the sense that it forces every deck to pass the "Zoo test" but a meta without cheap, competitive aggro would be really awful.

Nothing. Why people keep on fixating that something needs to be nerfed? The game is fine as it is we just need regular supply of new cards which will refresh the meta, that is all.

Change Undertaker to everytime a deathrattle triggers it gains +1/1 or perhaps 2/1. 

Just because a card is in almost every deck doesn't mean it needs a nerf. The Black Knight is in every deck purely because Sludge Belcher is in every deck. I don't think anything needs nerfing at the moment. Some cards are very strong but they don't break the game and they aren't specific to one class or deck the way Buzzard and to a lesser extent Leeroy was. Better to think about upgrading some of the ridiculous epic cards to at least situationally playable, like some others have said.

There really isn't much that I feel warrants a nerf, but Undertaker would definitely be my first choice, even as someone who enjoys playing a few decks that work around it. It has potential to be game breaking, and unlike most cards with huge potential it's still great in the average scenario (I'll call a single buff the "average" scenario, because it's pretty realistic to achieve). Moreover, it's just so cheap for such a good card, 1 drops drawing premium removal just isn't fair.

Savannah Highmane and maybe Feral Spirit imho

A better change for the game for me would be to redo the warlock and hunter hero powers. Change the warlock power to something demon related or increase the penalty by number of draws, 1 click minus 2 hp, second click minus 3 hp. Anyway it is nerfed thought would be a plus to the game. Also Hunter Hero power is nasty, theres a reason they are still kings of the ladder after 3 rounds of nerfs, it is the power to do steady 2 damage to the face that puts them over the top imo.

nerfing hunters hero power without nerfing the hero power of classes than can counter it wouldnt be very fair. priest can counter it with healing each turn, warrior with 2 armor per turn. what bout pally with that weapon "when you summon a minion give it +1/+1", with hero power that gives 7 2/2 minions with the use of a single card. or worse yet when thay play the slime with it and buff the slime the same turn, getting multiple minions with added stats. played a pally that had the weapon equiped, next turn played slime, gave the slime +4/+4 and divine shield, so ended turn with a 6/7 and 7/8(the copy counts as a 2nd summon so gets another +1/+1) slime both with divine shield. 

Nerf alex? are people serious?

Imo Mad Scientist is the most f*cked up card there is. It should give you a secret to your hand not straight into the play. 

Naxx was a neat move. Give unbalanced cards so more people will pay for it. Is the next expansion also going to be "free" like Naxx?

Why "free"? It's as free as the rest of the content in the game. Hell, the release was even paced so that people who paid actual money can't get the cards faster than anyone else, if you were just willing to save up the gold each week. If you refuse to scrape together the gold that's your business, but be happy that it's free at all.

I see your point with Nozdormu, but the warlock cards all suck to balance out the hero power. If warlock class cards were as strong as the other class', then warlock would be really overpowered.

I guess once I played as a Druid and due to a great degree of luck I played an Ancient of War on turn 2. They conceded.

I played a similar move once.

Next turn, my opponent played Hunter's Mark and Arcane Shot.

I cried real tears.

Well imo starving buzzard wasn't nerfed hard enough. I think it should be a 10 mana 0/1 that when you play it, you instantly lose the game and Hearthstone just uninstalls from your computer and your computer blows up. /kappa

those answers and suggestions of this thread leaving me speechless...

It would be interesting to know the number of games played and highest rank achieved of the people posting in this thread. No slight intended to newer players of course. I am just aware that from my start in Hearthstone, to where I am now skill wise, my opinion on what needed balancing has changed significantly.

The general idea is good, however the number of played games does not always show the skill level of the player. I have seen terrible plays from golden heroes this season.

Also people were crying about Buzzard, Blizzard nerfed it, yet still most of my opponents are hunters this season. Many of the suggestions listed here would have the same effect (would not solve the problem people have).

now i think the meta is veeeery balanced we do nto ahve any deck that you see more than 30% of the time like before. cads that generally people want to nerf and why i think they do not need to :

Loatheb : it is a situational card like bgh o black night, sometimes theyre battlecry are game changing and some times they are useless. laotheb sacrified 1 point for his battlecry, black night 4 and bgh 1.

SoulfireDoomguard: yep when in topdeckign mod this cards value becomes crazy, but before arriving to this point the dissadvantage of this cards are enourmous. tipical time when zoo got double doomguard in hand or dommguard and soulfire.... So if even the cases where theyy can be good it's extra price should be payed...  so there would be much less playable.

Been through the roller-coaster too.  Hexes, polymorph's, etc. now all make me too afraid to innervate that big card out the turn before they can be played.  But the king of all tear-inducers -- Sap.  I swear every time I've coined-innervated against a rogue ... sigh, Sap.

I'm not sure if this would really change things, but Soulfire and Doomguard really should absolutely require their negative battlecry to occur.  What I mean is they should need to discard cards when those are played.  I know, I know, MTG is a different game, but they have plenty cards with this mechanic that requires a card to be discarded as well.

I realize this probably won't happen, at least until the card pool becomes larger, but one can dream haha.
