Bright side: the nerfs helped with the oppressive Infinite Shudderwock, Kingsbane Infinite Heal & Odd Pally dominance.
Haven't seen Togwaggle Druid, which is nice, but some of those players moved on to Paladin, where they get to Holy Wrath for 25-50+ damage in a single turn. Also, while immune to all damage, they have the option to OTK with Uther Exodia. Sigh. Fun & interactive!
Every third deck I play against on ladder now is versus hunter, and they usually win. I guess we all play hunter now...I miss playing druid. I miss playing control decks in general.
Looks like druid's really taking a hit with this expansion. The legendaries weren't Duskfallen Aviana bad, but underwhelming. Hoping the epic spell left to reveal is a new druid removal spell, on the order of Mulch. I really miss that card.
Really curious to examine the remaining cards to be revealed upon the full release. Which cards will be the sleeper hits like Corridor Creeper and Prince Keleseth?
I agree, we should see a spike in Spiteful Mage decks, though I'm leaning towards Elemental Mage with spell discovery, Leyline Manipulator with Book of Specters.
Millhouse Manastorm and Aviana spawned the worst legendary in the game. Maybe if my opponent chooses to play Temporus, or just goes AFK for a few turns, this could work. Disappointing.
I chose Temporus from Kabal Courier, just to try it out. My opponent killed it during their turns, and I discovered that I no longer had an extra turn after laying out lethal damage. They cleared my giants and cast King Togwaggle and Journey to Un'Goro. I blame Disguised Toast for coming up with that combo. Fun to watch on his stream, less fun to have it done to you!
PSA: Do not craft Temporus. Craft Oakheart instead. Now that's a card!
I'm enjoying playing Rin. Running 2 Bloodblooms to speed up the tempo. 2 Voidlords and Hooked Reavers to buy time. Skull of the Man'ari is a good addition.

I was hoping for a new removal card. But Druid needed a way to counteract overkill. So, token druid stays viable in the new meta.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. Sad that both druid legendaries are better suited to wild play.

Yeah, you can buy both, but the $50 bundle is a much better value.

Absolutely! "Card" instead of "minion" changed my vote from Very Good to Meta Defining. One of the best cards revealed to date.

Unfortunately, the subsequent draws are extremely likely to only give minions as your selection choices, nerfing the weapon. So, gotta go Cho!
Ouch. Yeah, sadly Nat is the best option here. Trade into something=problem solved.
