Keep him till the next expansion is out so you know what to craft. Use him in the meantime as a finisher.

Most decks have chosen the aggro route because HS is a fast-paced game with health capped at 30. Let's not go throwing bullshit now as if BGH was the source of all world problems, especially considering that before GvG it barely saw much play.

Baron Geddon doesn't see much play because it's a 7mana 5health minion that damages your board and character. Once again I'm really questioning whether you played this game for more than a month.

Quote from Frostraven >>

Yes.
Big minions are balanced, because you sacrifice tempo.

That disadvantage is real, even before you bring up the question of removal.

I love to break this to you, so...
Currently, it's not the people who want BGH nerfed that don't use their brains in deck creation.

I want to play Prophet Velen in my Priest deck, without a neutral minion mindlessly played in 115% of the decks instantly ending the game.

Why can't a Rogue play Assassinate if they're afraid of big drops?
Why can't a Mage play an extra polymorph -- which still leaves a sour taste in your mouth when it one hit kills a legendary WoW character as if it was nothing?

I know it's a card game, and that "this is how Magic the Gathering handles big threats" -- but... akin to marrying your own sister...
I never thought this approach was a very good idea, when compared to... well...
the games the cards games are based on.

Why is it so damn wrong to have a high cost card require a player to invest two lower cost cards to deal with it -- if they weren't smart enough to include high cost cards or win before the high cost threats slowly start to take back the tempo advantage?

Quote from MalakyEx >>

Because health is capped at 30 and all it takes the opposing player to win are 1-2 hits to face with his big minion. The game needs fast, immediate answers that don't totally suck to big drops, hence why BGH is fine as it is (neutral and available to anyone) and doesn't really need change.

I also question this bullshit of "neutral minion mindlessly played in 115% of the decks instantly ending the game". BGH instantly ends games? Since when?

 I'm still laughing. When are you gonna get off the whole Prophet Velen and Malorne argument? Nerfing BGH won't make them more playable. This is a troll. As others have stated BGH is primarily a counter to Dr. Boom. The card you mentioned are too slow and would likely get removed by anything before they can be effective. BGH is not the problem in your case.

Why the hell should they nerf Azure Drake? By this logic Blizzard needs to nerf every single playable card, only because there are Hemets and Acidmaws out there.

Somehow it seems that a lot of people expect Blizzard to rebalance the whole set with the next patch. Don't be disappointed when they end up nerfing 3-5 cards at most, because that's what will happen due to their nerfing attitude.

BGH defenders, just like all the others defending OP cards are illogical. Their excuses have been debunked. Blizzard is nerfing handlock, meaning this is a strong hint they are nerfing BGH and therefore, the giants are being nerfed too. Also every class but Druid and Lock have good, cheap removal and this may change in the upcoming expansion. BGH defenders even contradict themselves by saying stuff like "BGH is fine, just don't play anything over 6 attack" Guess what, if BGH doesn't get nerfed, I will have to take their advice :(

While leper isn't on my nerf list, I am fine with Blizzard wanting to slow the meta which currently is 85% aggro. Abusive sergeant is more OP however and I suggested he be nerfed to +1 attack.

Doomhammer isn't on my nerf list, but I still won't be surprised if Blizzard nerfs mostly burst damage cards to slow the meta down. They are probably nerfing roar and they are looking at charge minions and high damage spells like fireball.

Like others said, this looks fake. But thanks for sharing this image.

I hope we get more anti aggro cards in the upcoming expansion. Reno alone wasn't enough to slow the meta much. We are losing sludge and healbot :(

If you have this guy, hold onto him! He could become good again after expansion and formats. Sludge and loatheb will be gone.

26. Bluegill Warrior to be 2/3

that's quite the nerf

Quote from Elka >>

They said It will be less than 20 but more than 2 if I'm not mistaken. 

BGH IS getting nerfed though, there's no way it won't because otherwise it will be 2x obligatory in all decks based on all these new cards we are seeing in WoG. Timmy gotta have his way man.

This is EXACTLY what RNG cards should be. I'm really happy that blizz learned from their mistakes with cards like piloted shredder and unstable portal. RNG cards shouldn't be already good cards that can get even better like the ladder 2. They should either be good cards that can help you or screw you over at the same time, or just bad cards that can be really good if you're lucky like Lock and Load. Yogg Saron is a perfect example of a card that's weak enough so that you wouldn't play it normally, but it can be wild and wacky which is what RNG should be like. It should be fun and not "here comes the shredder, hope he doesn't get lucky zzzzz". I compare RNG to how it is in Pokemon. Where you can choose to teach your pokemon thunderbolt or thunder, but the vast majority of the time, people choose thunderbolt because they would rather have consistency than risk the 30% chance of missing to get the much bigger benefit.

 Discuss :)

20:00 doesn't say much in a forum with users from all over the world..

The text says: "Summon all 3 animal companions." Short Chinese lesson for dummies ;p

召唤 = summon, call

所有 = all

三种 = three types, three

动物 = animal

伙伴 = companion, partner  

Because if they plan/want to nerf BGH, then Giants become "problematic" cards.

Quote from AntonydusWurm >>

just make it cost at least 5 mana so that it isn't just pure upside with not much of a cost at all, but knowing blizzards nerfing skills, they'll probably just make it unplayable instead

Well they are going to have to nerf BGH, no point of Blizzard of making all these high cost minions in the new expansion if nobody is going to play those minions just because of one card.

End turn: The Ancient One.

Opponent turn: Faceless Manipulator + Charge, "Sorry that happen" :-)
