Hearthpwn

The patch was good, but insufficient. It addressed balance in the meta, but not "unfun" decks. It is not very fun to play against decks that deal 40+ damage from hand. I can pack lifesteal minions and health restoring spells, but it does not make for a very compelling gameplay.

Brann makes everything worse in this regard, and I cannot understand why it was left out of the patch.

Nerfs aren't about tuning down cards that are too good, are about making the game more fun. If a single strategy is too powerful, then the game is not fun, but I feel there are several viable characters and strategies right now. So there is no need to nerf some card because it is too powerful.

But man, some cards are really not fun. I really hate playing against Brann Bronzebeard. There should not be so many decks killing from the hand. It is like playing solitaire to see who gets lethal before. Also I hate playing against decks that make copies of cards, or discover the same card again and again. It is one thing to face one Frostwyrm's Fury, than face 4 in a row.

Paparazzi is a missed opportunity for "Discover a Secret"

1. That is a confirmed bug, which means no, this is not supposed to happen.

2. That is not how Evolve works. In the case there are no minions of a higher cost to transform into, it instead transforms the minion into one of the same cost. And transforming into itself is possible, therefore meaning the expected result of using Blazing Transmutation on a Goldshire Gnoll should be another Goldshire Gnoll.
