In the past 3 expansions they did the exact same thing.. Psychic Scream, Call to Arms, Ultimate Infestation, Spreading Plague,Lord Godfrey, and not nerfing warlock in the last year of the mammoth nerfs.Also freeze shaman. could blizzard get the community input and look at the meta for once and adjust the released cards?
I mean.. omega cards + more ramp + the amount of safety and ramp druid CURRENTLY have? doesn't it sounds too much at the moment? they shouldn't give a really strong and dominant class even stronger tools.. they did it for the latest 3 expansions already and those classes were too dominants and got some big nerfs:
KOFT: jade and aggro druid.
KaK: razakus priest and FINALLY patches (after 1 year..)
The Witchwood: cubelock and paladin.
Those were obvious from the get go.. why wait? why not do stuff beforehand? like nerfing Hex for example.. probably hex would be a problem card now, but blizzard nerfed hex looking at how powerful it would be with hagatha.
When a class is superior by a lot the meta becomes stale a week after release.. and it sucks.. druid currently is very strong (and frustrating to play against) giving them another tool that accelerates them into insanity.. really?
Yes I know the expansion was just released and "you saw nothing yet" but I play since GVG and it's been like that for a while,obvious broken classes just get better cards to be more broken. I really hope I am mistaken.. but I doubt it.
If it does become a staple card for Druid then non-retarded players will mulligan a higher cost hand to play alongside the ramp.
I personally love playing against Druid as I play a lot of shamen, (I hit legend on the 3rd of this month so I’m not talking nonsense). I have no trouble beating them and it is often a very fun and close match up.
Cause you get full mana crystals (net +1 mana when you play it) and also druid has oakheart (I know it's neutral but not all classes can actually run as many 9 drops) and Ultimate Infestation any other class benefits way less from ramp than druid.
it's bad only in the mirror. and also then it's works like the coin late game.
Are there still people in 2018 who think all cards should be equally good?
The whole point of card games is to have change and to have some things be better than others. Sometimes a class will be strong, sometimes it will be weak. It will switch up at some point.

We still have no idea what the metas going to be like because they've only announced 6 out of the 130 cards. Plus, it seems like they're doing better. None of the Witchwood cards were really that broken (Lord Godfrey wasn't the problem with Cubelock and isn't in the meta now that Cueblock is pretty much gone).
A real question is whether this will also grant Excess Mana?
It won't grant Excess Mana because Excess Mana is granted when nothing is gained. If I play a 1 mana card that gives 2 mana crystals, I'm gaining at least 1 mana crystal for playing the card. It will never grant Excess Mana.
Most cards that end up being OP don't do so predictably. For every Jade Idol there is a Corridor Creeper

Start of Year: Provoke the failure of 3 expansions, force nerfs on otherwise balanced cards, bring deckbuilding to an all-time low and get rotated one year earlier for being such a threat to the game's health. - Genn and Baku's historical entry on the White Book of Shit Design, shortly before retiring unpunished
What are you talking about? The meta is more balanced right now than I have ever seen it. Looking at the rank 5 or higher meta you have the top deck at 52,92% down to the 21st deck at 48,34%. That's pretty much an average of 50,5% ±2%. I can't imagine how a meta could be more balanced. Every single class even has a deck in that bracket.
Cards are designed over a year before they are released so there is no way for them to know what the current meta is going to look like so given that their balance changes has managed to keep the meta this balanced is a good sign that the system is working.

Why on Earth is ramping both players broken?

You said it !
Lets just release balanced cards to we can have a perfectly balanced meta.
not exactly.. just not release obviously broken cards for classes that are dominant right now anyway.. (druid and warlock currently).

He didn't say equally good or balanced - he said not obviously busted, then listed some pretty clear examples.
That card against aggro is pretty bonkers.
A real question is whether this will also grant Excess Mana?
Might be different at higher ranks but I don't get too much trouble from Druids until the 2nd or even 3rd play Maly

Unpopular opinion: Rogue is OP
Obviously not

Come visit my Card Emporium. Strange things, you will find inside...
Come take the test, if you're daring. Feel free to show me your results in a message.

Question was redacted. I had thought about it after I posted and realized it wouldn’t because it is the same as Nourish.
it's nit the same as nourish since it costs 1 and also it's another card that ramps. earlier than nourish
. what do you care if aggro have 2 extra mana ehen you play master oakheart on 3 and UI on 4
Could players wait until a card is released before starting need threads about them?
I would argue they just need to address the issues with the existing game rather than trying to “fix” classes by giving them busted cards.
Yup, they can release more Temporus, a fair and not broken card. And not playable.
