Thoughtsteal is fine. 3 mana is the standard price you pay for drawing 2 cards from your own deck (Arcane Intellect). Paying 1 mana less for 2 random ones from another deck seems fair. Sure sometimes Priests hit the nuts (getting Exotic Mountseller and Glowfly Swarm against a Druid player), other times they can get total garbage (like Corsair Cache)
Ysera, Unleashed is indeed quite OP, but the only nerf that could change that would be to decrease the number of portals it shuffles to 6 or 5. Altering the stats won't change how OP it is. The question though is, is it more OP than other class legendaries out there to deserve a nerf?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Risky Skipper. It has fair stats for a 1-drop and some interesting ability that you need a specific kind of deck in order to take advantage of. It is nowhere near being a broken card. I find that nerfing strong decks in general is a very stupid idea, if something should be nerfed it is specific cards that are way too broken. Take Highlander Hunter also for example, probably the best deck right now, but there is not a single card you can single out and say 'this is broken and needs to be nerfed.
A 1 mana card that can destroy the whole board and that benefits for pirate synergies is broken. It is the same story as the cleric. They should nerf the pirate to a 2/3 2 mana cost. As for Highlander Hunter, maybe at low levels because it is an easier deck, but Warrior and Demond Hunter are better if well-played. Also, the 6/5 dragon and Veranus are a bit broken, but I would just change their stats to 5/5 and 6/6 respectively. #nomoreonecostmeta
Yes but Enrage Warrior doesn't have any spells for board clear or even single target removal (a few lists run Execute but that's all). So Risky Skipper is the only tool they have to deal with an enemy board and that (1) requires some setup and (2) comes at the cost of also damaging your other minions. If Risky Skipper was a neutral card then it would still only find place in Enrage Warrior and no other decks, exactly because it is not a broken card but rather one with an interesting mechanic that you need to build your whole deck around. Veranus on the other hand would easily fit in any tempo deck of any class if it were available, because it is a generally OP card (although given that it is a legendary its power level is fine I think). Rotnest Drake is more deserving of a nerf indeed as it has premium stats + strong ability.
