I wanted to make the community aware Blizzard has now officially nerfed a legendary card Ixlid, Fungal Lord in their latest patch without providing any refund for the card change. On top of that, any card they nerf like Shadowboxer, a full refund is now considered the cards regular disenchant value and not what is costs to actually craft the card.
Are you still willing to pay money for a game when they can change cards at will and provide almost little to no compensation for your loss? I was excited for the new expansion however, Blizzards merger with the greed of Activision is going to kill them game. Especially if this is the kind of business model the game is going to be run on going forward.

It’s worrying. Maly Druid is already powerful. Can’t draw Maly? Now you will, using Melon. Can’t get Twig off? Never mind, dump Maly and Floop if it is killed or silenced.
That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if the expansion contains specific combo breaking cards (we have already seen one from Warlock, which turns a card in both hands into a demon). The designers are not dumb, they will realise that druid might be very OP if not checked.

Is anyone else surprised this isn’t a mech? If it was, with good support from magnetic, a control Paly with the legendary spell could be great!

Floop is insanely powerful, I love it! Apart from the Maly application, which is bonkers, you can use him for a second Togwaggle - play the first raw. Then, when they Ransom, you can Floop (Togwaggle), innervate/coin, Azalina.
In both applications, Maly and Togwaggle, it’s a perfect backup if they deal with your Twig. GREAT card.

Fun brawl, but I was (naively) hoping for a card back, after the talk of “rewards”. 🤨

I’m not going to preorder either. In fact, I think I’m done putting money into HS. It’s a personal decision though.
I don’t have any aspirations to be a high legend player, so I just play for fun. I preordered The Witchwood, enjoyed it for a week or so, when it was fresh, then got bored and stopped playing. And that’s pretty much the pattern for me, every expansion. Compared to AAA titles, that’s pretty poor value. But again, maybe it’s me...
I have saved some dust and gold, so I’ll craft a few new cards and have fun. Perhaps I should just craft the power cards and periodically mess around with Wild. I wonder if I’m growing out of HS though, so maybe it’s time to move on. Like Brode.

I own Tess and have lots of fun with it, so I will not disenchant it. However, it is undeniable (and very clearly outlined in the OP) that this is a genuine nerf. Tess should therefore have full dust value.

Being able to guarantee a certain draw is huge. E.g. Shinyfinder for Kingsbane Rogue.
