This is a game smaller in size and scope than any MMO.
The price of all the content in each full Standard rotation is already over 400$ -- 200$ per year.
Unlike actual collectible card games, you can't sell your collection, nor individual cards.
And by the gods -- the small sum of 400$ is a bargain compared to the amount of life you waste by grinding the cards out from 30 daily wins.

They can't have Drakonid Operative without giving priest, or neutral, a playable dragon next expansion.
Not overpowered -- just playable.

That's half the players in the game.
The people on rank 15 and better are playing meta-decks.
Hundreds of thousands of people are probably trying to find a way to counter the current aggro meta.
None of those have managed to do so, thus far.
You can pick one:
Play the meta and win, until someone else -- one of the hundreds of thousands of people who try to change the meta -- succeeds, and change then.
...or lose until someone, probably someone else than you, discovers a good deck, that spreads like wildfire and becomes the new meta.
At which point you have to choose, again:
Be a part of the meta, or try decks at rank 16-20 in the 1 in 100 000 shot of being the one that changes the meta.
For a couple of hours, until your deck is copied by everyone you played against and everyone they play against and so on and so forth, until you play a meta deck, after only a day or a couple of hours.

There will always be pet pevees in games.
Grounds for bitching do not have to exist, and should be filtered out.
Gamebreaking problems should be fixed as soon as possible.
There's only months since the main page had forum posts many many times per hour.
Now forum posts often are an hour apart, or even hours apart.
I'm kind of scared about the immediate future.

People would say: Don't vomit out your hand into Doomsayer:
Wait until turn 3 -- when you can answer it, or run silence.
"Silence? Crazed Alchemist? BLASPHEMY! Silence doesn't damage face, and Crazed Alchemist is only a 2/2 for 2, when Aggro wants at least 4 damage for 2 mana..!"
Aggro should have to tech against control. If they want to beat control.

Compare Keeper of the Grove to 4 mana class cards from other classes.
Water Elemental: +1 attack +2 health, freezes targets
Kor'kron Elite: +2 attack -1 health, charge
Flamewreathed Faceless: +5 attack +3 health
Houndmaster: +2 attack -1 health: Give a Beast +2/+2
It was only powerful compared to neutral 4-cost minions, and unplayable minions that cost 4 mana.
It was a good anti-aggro tool, as it could punish players who played lots of low cost minions, dealing with at least two minions.
Ancient of Lore:
7 mana.
Bloody compare to Archmage Antonidas who generates a fireball from a coin, and another Fireball from Counterspell, and another one from the Fireball next turn, and another one from the second Fireball.
Ancient of Lore was underpowered compared to many 7-cost class cards, and to Dr. Boom. Savannah Highmane at 6 mana is also compable:
Summons two 2/2s on death, which has to be comparable to drawing two cards, as it puts two bodies on the board.
I mean:
Would a 3 mana card that produces two 2/2s be balanced..? Yes.
Ergo: Summoning two 2/2s is comparable to drawing two cards, perhaps just barely below.
I don't even want them moved to wild:
Just restored.
What is the point of a core set, if the cards aren't playable and don't define the class' identity?
Solution:
Look at the good old Malygos Druid;
Ancient of Lore, Azure Drake, Nourish, Innervate, Malygos, Swipe, Wrath, Moonfire, Keeper of the Grove.
But WHY?
Not because any of them really are overpowered. Except Malygos could've been 3 or 4 spell power. I digress.
Because nothing has been offered to Druid to use with Malygos.
Literally:
Only one single spell that deals damage has been added to Druid since forever.
Jungle Moonkin giving +2 Spell Damage to your opponent made it unplayable, and was just silly.
Where is the 3 mana damage-dealing boardclear..? Where is the 6 mana version of Swipe; 6 damage to one minion, and 2 to the rest?
Druid having no direct removal, but having access to silence, was also a saving grace.
Jade Idol is just cancerous.
It has to be nerfed at some point:
It should shuffle Jade Idols into your deck, not copies of itself.

Both Block and Standard in Magic have ban-lists.
In 10 years, Wild may reach the comparative size of early Modern.
Where there is a ban list, which used to be massive -- before they pulled the plug on official support of the format.
...
As a Wild player, I want the format to be balanced and supported:
I want to see Wild tournaments.
I'm also damn sure that if Wizards could CHANGE cards reactively, magically converting each card in existence to the new version, they'd do so instead of banning cards.
Without refunds.

As a wild player, I say nerf the cards.
Not nerfing the cards will inevitably make Wild unplayable.
It may take a couple of years, but -- it's inevitable.
Cards will have to be nerfed in wild.
So it's better to nerf cards in Standard to clean up the worst messes before they hit Wild.

Mad Bomber.
My face.

My face.
BUT HE HAS 6 MINIONS?!!?!??!!?

Like it or not -- overpowered cards have to be nerfed, if Wild is to remain playable and fun.
Wild is problematic already.

And that's why the balance statistics are bollocks:
The more players play an OP deck, the closer to 50% that decks' winrate will become.

4 times would be coincidence.
6 times would be a really rare incident.
8 times suggests few people are online, and it's just coincidental.
10 times...
Eh...
Low amount of players online.
