Anyone who says that Dr. Morrigan is a playable card deserves full, nay, total scorn and ridicule... 

 I really want to say it is for the memes, but I just can't. The only thing it has going for it, is that it isn't the worst card of the set. That disputeable honour goes to Harbringer Celestia

.  I remember when Goblins vs Gnomes came out, I was thrilled. There were tons of fresh and new cards. They actually managed to improve the game! 

You're defending Goblins vs Gnomes as a good expansion.  The expansion that literally only had 2 good legendaries and a tier 3 legendary.  The expansion that had abominations like Unstable Portal [/card] and [card]Piloted Shredder.  The expansion that further pushed the meta into pure face and set the seeds for Secret paladin later on.  You're praising that over metas such as the Old Gods meta.

I REMEMBER watching tournaments back then. I REMEMBER games that were ended because of doomspeakers coming out of shredders, and Dr. Boom's bombs going 8 damage to the face, and F#($)#(*$ Imp-losion.  

We cheered for GvG because it was the first time we ever had an expansion.  And because we were still new as crap at the game.  

 

That is on top of what others have already brought up: that 'planned obsolescence' is a feature, not a bug.  We plan standard specifically BECAUSE we want to be constantly swapping out old cards for new ones.  One of the biggest reasons why we hated TGT, Boomsday, and Rumble is because of how little of that very thing occurred.  We WANT them to put out new stuff, and for us to buy that stuff every expansion.  Otherwise there's many other genres we would be playing instead.  Wild players MAY be able to argue about the issue, but if you're in Standard and you're bothered by having to 'keep up with the trend' then you've picked the wrong mode.

Sidenote, the 'Blizzard is nerfing my good deck' outcry is a rather silly argument for a big reason: you visit the forums.  Every other #$*)#*( (#)$#)( thread has been about the problems with Rogue since almost as soon as the expansion started.  We've been having regular nerf bats after just about every single expansion.  How in the world can a person who reads the forums enough to feel bold enough to write here can claim to be blindsided by a nerf to most played and most raged on class, especially given that the very cards they targetted are the most raged on and most proposed for nerfs.  

This isn't a surprise. This isn't new.  This wasn't out from left field.  No one tricked you.  The warnings came early and often that this was going to happen.  Don't pretend otherwise.  

The same goes for the Classic set as a whole.  Blizzard flat out said from the beginning of rotations, that their goal is to make the classic set take up a much smaller role in the meta.  Everything they've been doing has been putting their money where their mouth is at this point.  There's even a rather vocal part of the community screaming to go faster or just flat out gut the whole thing all-together.  

Where the @()$#( have you been for the past 5 years?  

 

 I want to add that Preperation especially has been said about time and time again, also by the developers that it is one of the most design restricting cards in the game. They basicaly told us: we have to deal with this card sooner or later. This nerf is not a surprise as it has been a long time coming. The only surprising part is that they didnt HoF it a month ago. 

That sounds incredibly boring

Rogues only weak to Warrior and has playrate between 20 and 25%. That is what unbalanced looks like. 

This was bound to happen, team 5 have mentioned time and time again that Prep was one of the most design restricting cards in the game. Even if the Raiding Party nerf would have been enough now, Preperation would have caused a new problem down the line. 

These seem to be surprisingly fair nerfs. Finally Preperation is getting hit, that is such a problematic card. I am a bit surprised they left Warrior untouched as that card has a couple of unfair interactions aswell. I am frustrated about that Big Priest *again* dodges the nerf hammer in wild. C'mon Blizz, you have nerfed Aviana Druid and Giantlock into the ground, surely you can also nerf the seemingly most hated deck in wild? 

I know rogue is the top deck right now.. But I am just so tired of facing all these Warriors. They suck the fun out the games for me.

Definitely wouldn't scrap it. There's plenty of time for it to get some really good support in future expansions. Not all cards are designed to be immediately impactful, they will have a map planned of future content and some are designed to get support later on. It seems to me like it's a card that will get some more tools and be a really powerful archetype in future. 

 This^ Hadronox and Kathreen Winterwisp were a joke for a long time, until they got good support cards.

Quote from Echtvad >>

I'm tired of people complaining about Elysiana - she isn't that strong and often you only discover bad cards. I can only agree on that they should remove the turn limit. 

 Its the reason I dont bother playing control decks anymore. I dont want 45 minute games.

What does pot of greed do?

 Being banned 

Well, they are part of a cult, they cant play anything else! ;D

1) Complete quest

2) Play Archmage Vargoth + Timewarp

3) PlayMolten reflection on Archmage Vargoth 

4) Play Drakkari Enchanter, Violet Illusionist and Research Project

5) Watch Archmage Vargoth mill your opponent

6) profit. 

Also your head hurts from hitting your face on the keyboard 

Quote from hillandder >>

The problem is the hero cards, some classes can survive without one like mage and rogue but priest and warlock are doomed because don't have a chance vs Boom or Hagatha in value game.

 Rogue is carried by their insane classic and basic set, and Conjurers Call is singlehandedly making mage relevant.
