Not that I want the card to be nerfed but I understand that his power level is incredibly high. If it were to be nerfed here's how I think it should be done.
1. Make it so that you need to start the game without duplicates as well as no duplicates in your current deck.
That way, it wouldn't be used by decks who run duplicates. It's kinda absurd that fully aggro decks can make use of him, like rogue and tip the scale paladin. Even quest druid uses him. It kinda ruins the whole concept of the card and makes him overused, which is bad for the game IMO.
2. Another option is to rework him completely into using cards from your own classes exclusively and neutral cards. The card would still be good but his power level would make a lot more sense. I understand that this change would take blizz way too much work which is why it's probably never happening.
3. Increase his mana cost. That one is obviously the lazy nerf, it would completely rule out twisting nether from his options and kinda ruin his text since he can no longer offer you the perfect board clear. I guess at 3 mana he is a bit more reasonable though.

Seems like a salty rant from an inexperienced player.

My rogue uses it as Highlander I think I run double of shadow step
Why does it have to be the perfect card this turn.

Ironic. It could recycle others, but not itself.
what's the point to have a board clear you can only use next turn ? You'll be dead.
I agree. The counter argument will be that bombs won’t be able to counter (which is a stupid argument imo, but that’s what will be said I’m guessing).
No, I said no duplicates at start of game and in your current deck. Bombs would counter him.
Or if you prefer, a start of game effect could work but it would remove the counters so I don't think I like that too much.
I like your first option. That seems the most logical. This would also be a slight buff against decks that pollute your deck like Bomb Warrior.

If you understand that the card doesn't need to be nerfed, stop thinking of ways to nerf it.
I don't sit around thinking of ways to nerf River Crocolisk.
