And use the salt thread 

It is strange. Blizzard nerfed Druids ability to ramp by hitting wild growth, innervate and Nourish. 

A year or so later Druid has: lightning bloom, breath of the wild and overgrowth. 

I swear people whine about everything

I agree but this whiny community tends to overestimate the effect of a card and whine about it. They only look at the effect, not the context, the type of deck it goes in to, what meta it requires etc.

I also think that this card will be horrible in an aggressive meta because you don't want to waste 4 mana giving your opponent cards.

A setup that requires

1) Two specific cards in your opening hand

2) One of them to be drawn as your first or last card

... yeah broken.

I personally don't care about it. However, there are people who dislike things like this because it messes with the uniqueness feel. E.g. remember when Blizzard made Tyrande free in their new shop? A lot of people were mad because they obtained her through the previous requirements, and thought it was unfair that people got it for free. 

I read a proposal that can satisfy both groups. Give the OG card backs something that makes them distinguishable from the purchased ones. It could be a different frame, a stamp or something else. In that way old players can still be proud of their card backs and newer players can enjoy a card back they like. I also like the thought of Blizzard acknowledging their long-term players.

Real collectors want the original stuff, not copies, so it wouldn't work for all players.

First rule of life: You can't please everyone all the time! ;)

 I think you can arrange collectors in all sorts of categories. Some people just want everything, some wants the OG stuff, some wants all the stuff from a certain point in time etc. 

But you are right that it is not possible to satisfy everyone. I just like the thought of Blizzard acknowledging their old school players by giving OG stuff a stamp/frame/whatever, so it is possible to distinguish between obtained and bought card backs. 

 

I usually don't like Blizzard way of approaching things. It feels like sometimes this people have no f..king idea what they are actually doing, as if they were completely clueless about most stuff (especially when dealing with the community). Thanks for your polite and honest answer, much appreciated! :)

 Cheers buddy! Keep up the great spirit :-)

I think your version of Altruis is broken. I mean after a good skull of guldan you'd lost instantly as he'll deal 20 damage - and if you don't have board, oh my... 

Millhouse Manastorm and Lorewalker Cho. 

Why create a nerf thread right off the bat? What you are basically writing is: "I am losing to this deck so please nerf it". Have you considered a more analytic approach, your thread could read something like this:

"Hi guys. I am struggleing with bomb warrior. I am playing XXX but can't seem to win. Do you have any tips, decks, cards or whatever that counters this?" 

This might give you a discussion about beating bomb warrior instead of the troll answers you are likely to see. These "I just lost to bomb warrior again, I want to nerf the shit out of them and not I will create a thread where people will agree with me, so I can feel slightly better" threads are really tiring. 

Better luck next time.

 Edit: Damn! I missed the irony of the titel. My point still stands but I suppose it goes for other topics. Guess I have my guard up the moment I read "nerf". 

I'm not even sure if this is allowed... It's originally from the Destiny Reddit 3.5 months ago, and more recently became a top post in the Hearthstone Reddit... It's hilarious how you can change a few nouns and it becomes Hearthstone... I'm sure lots of you have read it (heh), but I'm sure just as many haven't.

I despise these threads this short after nerfs hit...

Anyone complaining about this Frankly doesn’t understand the difference between a small play test team and a play test base of a few hundred thousand people.  I wouldn’t say they knew it would be busted, despite the on paper power level of some of the cards, because it’s very common for cards to be hailed as good or broken and then be total trash.  I wouldn’t be shocked if they wanted to see what the player base would do with and against Demon Hunter to fine tune the class more than they could on their own.

The class has very obvious very exploitable weaknesses.  Any amount of healing and a big target are tough to handle.  We’ll see how these changes work out in the grand scheme of things.  I’m predicting a nerf to Priestess of Fury as well. It along with Antaen is a lot for any class to handle.  The 2 really shouldn’t be bale to go face with their abilities which would relegate them tmore of a control roll than a derpy face deck roll.

You weren't prepared!

Naga could lead to some clutch OTKs by filling the board with rushes, but they need to die. Meaning actually getting the damage to face is going to be a lot harder than you think. Your opponent needs to have enough on the board for you to kill your guys off, while also getting her damage to go face. Naga is more likely going to be a powerful control tool.

The weapon can only attack face once per turn, as it only gets extra attacks when attacking minions, the legendary only has 3 attack of his own, and having an already established board is not how you OTK. This is not to say DH looks weak. It looks like it's going to be a power house. But pure from hand burst damage does not seem to be it's strong suit. Which I'm glad for.

it's been a thing more or less since GvG. They always try to push archetypes, but they are often hit or miss. Like in the current expansion Galagrond decks were good enough to see top level play, but there has been maaaaaaaany archetypes that they have pushed over the years that have never worked for example discard warlock.

 For more examples, Murloc Paladin, Dragon Paladin, Reborn Paladin, Mech Paladin, Control Paladin, Heal Paladin, Swarm Paladin, Paladin Paladin, you name um!

As someone who enjoys wild a lot, can we not be toxic like this. I know this is kind of a joke, but the whole "this format is for x type people", and elitism jousting, is just so trivial and pointless.
