I don't know if anyone remembers, but Nourish at 5 mana, wasn't even played all the time or all that often in classic hearthstone through several expansions. Sure, it had some use, but other things were more important at the time, and other cards were considered better inclusions. So I was very surprised when it was nerfed seemingly out of the blue, and couldn't understand why. Well, if I remember correctly, it was nerfed around the time the quest that gives both choose one's came out, so I guess it made some sense. But that wasn't Nourish's fault, that was the quest's fault. So yeah...it should be back to 5 mana, honestly. Wild Growth should be back at 2 mana honestly, as well. It's just a joke at 3 (maybe they want it to be a joke, but still, it's like...not good at all anymore)

You don't remember correctly. The quest came out last year with Saviours of Uldum in August. The Nourish nerf was December 2018 right after the release of Rastakhan's Rumble, same patch that nerfed Wild Growth. 

Both cards were nerfed because everyone was sick of druid dominating the meta with taunt druid/malygos druid/token druid. Earlier that same year, Jade druid had been driving people crazy. Maybe Blizzard realised that if they wanted to actually take druid down a notch, they needed to nerf the cards those decks have in common. One and a half year later, druid still haven't gone an expansion cycle without at least one viable deck, so it seems to me the nerfs were fine.

 At the time, Druid at 4 high tier decks that shared 15 to 20 cards. Hence Wild Growth and Nourish nerf

Here are my list of the worse class card from each class and why:

Demon Hunter: Fel Summoner
Druid : Ysiel Windsinger 
Shaman : Vivid Spores
Warrior : Bulwark of Azzinoth
Rogue : Cursed Vagrant - A decent card, and very good arena card. But it doen't fit the rogue class, and "good value 7 drops" are not constructed material, except maybe for druid. 

OK. Now go for the polite disagreements : cards that are not currently played but may be in the future.

 Warlock: Keli'dan the Breaker - a 6 mana hard removal that gives you a body is a decent control tool, and it may find its place in a future contorl warlock. Door to darkness or whatever its english name sounds like a much shittier candidate, as it is not reliable enough for a combo deck and not good for anything else.

Mage :Imprisoned Observer- Due to extreme diversity of mage decks, most mage cards are good this one packs some punch. He may be a very solid card if some midrange mage deck shows up. On the other hand, I see the Solarian Prime as an opeless outgunned legend.

Paladin : Lady Liadrin - She looks awfully weak, but it turns out that getting a hand refilled with 0 cost +1/+1 buff librams is actually a powerfull move. She is one of the win conditions in Pure Paladin

Priest :Imprisoned Homunculus - A fantastic Turn 1 play for control decks, or a great way to throw one mana. Great defensive card, played in some priest control decks.

Hunter : Nagrand Slam - In standard, it gets some playtime in some highlander hunter. In Wild, it is very great with Spiteful Summoner and allows for a playable hunter deck. Meanwhile, Helboar or Imprisoned Felmaw sit on the shelves

Roping priests is funnier than conceding against them. You can't rope face decks even if you dislike them, as their game is 6 turns long at most. But a respriest getting roped each of the 20 turns he plays is usually unhappy.

Agreed. I type this while roping a res priest every turn.

Hope this fucktard dies from ****

 Yeah... Because Rez Priest is in a big hurry to finish the game...

 I was browsing the internet, playing videos and Alt-tabbing to play some cards when I heard the rope sound. As an occasionnal control player, I know it is extremely infuriating for her.

Doing this at every respriest player will send some of the annoyance back to them.

By the way, Res Priest is not overpowered, it's ust overboring. A good nerf to Convincing Infiltrator would be appropriate. Alternatively, introduct a few combo decks in Standard. Nothing more fun than facing a respriest in Wild while playing Exodia Mage.

Kids often dream of being knights. Or Jedi knights. Or pirates.

Apparently, little Dean Ayala wanted to be a druid.

Could be balanced if MAlygos joined the Hall of Fame

An 8-mana win-more card ?

I real like this guy's decks and guides. Please continue publishing his articles

For the very first time

* all classes are represented

* no class is played by every player

5 mana 8/8 was so 2 years ago lol.  It's ok but don't think it'll see play.

Not good, it's too slow and doesn't really synergize with anything Priest wants to do.

Kind of odd.  Value is sort of there.

I wonder which woman will get his job.

Expansions are designed a year ahead of time.  Iksar was in charge when Stormwind was designed.

Absolutely agree. When you look at HS years ago Vs HS of today.. it's like every expansion is designed with a broken card. Look at Smite, Sire Denathrius. HS's development team needs to be replaced honestly.

honestly hearthstone has gone downhill since Ben Brode left…

 Sure, you can see how well their new game goes (marvel snap) and how predatory it almost became. Yea, thanks to your lovely ben brode. Him leaving HS was a good thing. He should've left earlier tbh.

Unfortunately, Dean's idea of a good design made the game become more and more obnoxious. I'm glad he left. Good riddance. Now i'm waiting for some the other "designers" to leave. Hope they never work on a card game again, and if they do i'm surely not gonna be playing it.

Maybe the next director will announce working on HS 2.0, with a focus on f2p quality and no more powercreeping every time.

There are multiple blue posts about not putting out cards that make other obsolete.  They called it power creep and tried to avoid it. It was a game design decision that worked well while it was enforced...        I've Played Hearthstone since beta and many other card games and they didn't always used to be so money hungry.

“After 11 years, I am leaving Blizzard. Hearthstone is an incredible game. To have played even a small part in its creation is an honor I'll never forget. Thank you to all the players, and a special thank you to my fellow game creators. I am proud of all we built together.” If you think that about hearthstone than I certainly think you need to be replaced, how about replacing him with………. Uh………. I don’t even know any more!

Iskar was the lead of design of Stormwind.  He was removed from that position and became director later.  He was directly responsible for the stuff you said was bad.
