You have to understand they have access to stats and data that we don’t have access to.  On top of that it’s pretty hard to predict meta shifts after expansions.  They can never play test as much as millions of players so they will miss some things.  Beyond that this forum is incredibly whiny so you can’t take its opinion with much more than a grain of salt for the most part.

as for the nerfs, they’re decent.  I’m surprised the dragons pack card escaped nerfs but with elementalist being pushed to 6 mana it’s gonna be harder for them to play it on curve.  Mogu going to 9 could be a buff depending on the meta but I think the logic is if you ease up the early game then aggro can get a foothold.  With aggro decks on the ladder then control has some good matchups.  We’ll see how they go.

its easy to be a Monday morning quarterback but you have no clue how tiny changes can mix this game up.

 While it is true that they have access to data that we do not, I hate hearing that as the cop out answer of people defending Blizzard. 

The interaction that Shudderwok and Galakrond have is not something that needed to be play tested much. It is not something that "needed to see how the meta developed." It was 100% obvious that it would be broken. There was no question about it, and it is not opinion based whatsoever. Shudderwok not only spawned two more 8/8 rushes with its own 6/6 body, but also re-equipped a 10 damage dealing weapon. 

It doesn't matter if the millions of us play tested it, or the team they utilize. It is a very rare case that it was 100% predictable to be overpowered even just on paper. 

 Just because an interaction is broken doesn’t mean it will be good or viable.  In all of the shaman matches I’ve had I have yet to see one pull off shudder after Galakrond.  I’m sure it happens to some decks.  I’m running highlander dragon mage so maybe I just pressure them too much.  There’s plenty of broken interactions that never see the light of day simply because of consistency or meta issues.

Making Mogu 9 mana was a buff, not a nerf.  Can’t wait for shaman to high roll colossus every freaking game on turn 5.

This has won me a few games just from the amount of misplays or suboptimal turns it creates.  Pretty solid against some of the more battlecry heavy shaman decks as well.  Watching them waste so much time chaining battlecries and not getting to attack or trade with their cards is so satisfying.  All hail the free Nozdormu lol

Some people took this thread too seriously

 Man that looks so fun

Am I the only one offended that he not only misspelled Elon Musk’s name but that he compared him to Stalin and hitler?  I know it’s a troll post but man that’s just uncalled for :(

It’s not like blizzard hides the rates for legendaries.  You had some bad luck, it happens.  It’s your money so you do you, but if you’re thinking “you lost a customer” means much I’m sorry to disappoint.  

Smorc dragon hunter scares me more

Starcraft would be interesting 

I was playing cw  against dragon renolock , after a few rounds , the pressure was too much for me , already out of removals so I play yogg , he casts 3 spells and dies . I got the repentance secret , totemic might and gave him a cursed card . So he decides to play jaraxxus and repentance puts him in 1hp and the cursed card killed him next round . 

Against a shaman I was playing this weird patron deck that involved arcane giants and I teched in grommash. I played Thaurissan and it hit blood warriors, grom, and whirlwind. Shaman had used both lightning storms, one hex, and had one thing from below out while I was at 16 ish HP. I went 0 mana x2 arcane giant, grom, whirlwind, blood warriors, played the other 2 arcane giants, and waited for the shaman to concede. (I had an extra grom in my hand)
