Honestly I think that if Deck of Lunacy gets nerfed it'll simply be a mana cost nerf to 3, maybe 4. That'll make it much harder to find a window of opportunity to actually play the freaking thing in actual matchups. Compare to Luna's Pocket Galaxy, which had the same theme of "make the cards still in your deck much stronger" – the difference between 5 and 7 mana turned out to be the difference between broken and unplayable meme. I suspect it'll be the same with DoL.
It's not just Lunacy and Spring Water that's the problem its she sheer amount of burst damage the class has aswell. Apexis Blast, Fireball, Mask of C'thun that's 42 damage majority all going face and that's not even including the spell damage minions. Apparently Blizzard have cut back the burst damage this expansion tho. Ha, fuckin' bullshit.
In theory it all goes face, in practice that’s usually not the case. Also mage face spells are pretty expensive compared to say, shaman or rogue. That 42 damage you pointed out will cost 32 mana most of the time.
