Ugh... Is it really necessary to continue to nerf cards like two years after they're already out? I understand it in the case of shit like Undertaker or Auctioneer, where there's actually an unhealthy meta in place. But seriously, how is the current meta really that broken? And why can't they just either A) print good new cards which validate currently lower tier strategies without helping out the dominant ones too much, or B) print new cards which weaken some of the more dominant ones that already exist?
There are multiple reasons why some nerfs are necessary. Some cards limit design space (Big Game Hunter makes most 7+ attack minions unplayable unless they give ridiculous value like the giants or have great battlecries like Dr. Boom), some are just so much better than any other card in their mana slot (Knife Juggler), and some are simply not very fun to play against and limit viable deck options (Force of Nature + Savage Roar). Nerfing some of these cards will make the game more enjoyable and there will be more variation in the cards and decks that we see.
People have been saying that Knife Juggler, BGH and the like are going to be nerfed. I don't see any real confirmation from Blizzard on this - do we know for sure, or is it just mass wishful thinking?
There will be little to no nerfs. Blizzard has no intention to balance this game by card, it lets RNG do it for them.
If you have nothing to add to the conversation, then just get out of here, man, and take your crackpot conspiracy theories with you!
For those of you who don't want to read this, I'll summarize. He said that Blizzard manipulates RNG, so much so that the game is programmed to sometimes give you the perfect topdeck, so that players will not win or lose too much, and the game is 0% skill.
In response, this is totally incorrect and there is so much wrong with this article that I don't have time to go into.
Cho'gall was my first thought when I heard the name of the expansion! Warlock legendary hype? (two headed ogre would have a choose one mechanic propably).

I'm 10-1 with Reno Mage. My deck is a little different than yours though. Here's my list:

The card is wrong on the front page. It says it's a 7 mana 4/4...

Late April or early May.

We don't know for sure which cards will be nerfed yet. Blizzard will announce them about a week before the expansion/Standard is released.

Of course Kibler gets to reveal a dragon xD

Standard decks on the front page have an octopus symbol next to the mana curve.

I don't understand your point. You complain about aggro, mill, control, and combo all in one post...

To make the deck even cheaper, 2xSnake Trap can be replaced with another Explosive Trap and a Bear Trap

When you queue up against a Control Warrior as a Freeze Mage and they disconnect xD

Maybe it would make more sense, but I'm just going off of what Blizzard has said.
