Making card text and card effects consistent isn't a straight buff, even if it felt like one in this particular case.

The card(s) may not have other card text or stats than before, but it certainly is a buff. Just like when Yogg-Saron was nerfed hard last year. It used to cast spells even after it was dead - now it doesnt. And They didn't change anything About that cards text or stats, but it's almost not played anymore. :) 

Maybe you like this change, thats fair. I hate it. They had to wait with this change until it went to Wild. But playing a control deck there is useless against it now.

Changing interactions to be more consistent has nothing to do with buffing a specific card. Just because this change had consequences with giants doesn’t mean The Naga Sea Witch was buffed.

Nothing about the card itself has changed.

A couple years ago, He posted a video of why they didnt buff cards. Kripp and him "argued" if it would be good or bad to do it, and Ben Brode was hard AGAINST buffing any cards. Now that the Naga Sea Witch has come to Wild, they buffed it, completely obliterated Wild mode with it, and what does Ben Brode do? Remove his anti-buff video from his Youtube account... 

if you still wanna see Ben Brodes video against Buffing any cards it's still there: https://youtu.be/f1ioY1KO79A

You are saying i have to understand what i am bitching about before i post? I think it's yourself you should be saying that to. I posted this, just because i think its funny that Ben Brode took down the video from his Youtube channel where he talks about why they don't buff cards, just before the "buff" (or w/e you want to call it, idc ) NSW got, so people couldn't see what his opinion on buffing cards is anymore - unless you find the video somewhere else :) I find it Ironic that he does that.

And no, i don't like the change, because it's even harder now than before to play control decks in Wild. 

The deck is not below 50%.

Wild wasn't exactly "obliterated" by NSW - HSReplays puts the play-rate of the card at 3%, from a peak of 9% a week after the patch hit the servers. Looking at the numbers from Metastats, none of the decks running the combo managed to sustain a positive win-rate - hence the decline in popularity of the deck. If you look at the HSReplays numbers, it will show NSW decks with a 59% win-rate - it's worth recalling that the folks using deck trackers aren't exactly typical HS players. Reno Mech Mage players have a win-rate of 60%, for example, though I'm not certain if it can be said that the deck is "obliterating" the format.

It's also worthwhile mentioning that NSW and BES weren't buffed. The rules for how their discounts work were changed - if you aren't familiar with the genre, CCGs tweak their rules constantly. HS tweaks its rules with every major patch, though the tweaks are rarely mentioned. It typically isn't a big deal. Some cards benefit from rules changes, and others suffer - but it's simply incorrect to state that the former group were targeted with buffs, while the latter were nerfed.

Advice - it's probably best to understand what you are bitching about, before pretending to be upset about it. GLHF.

Believe or not I dont trust when brode speak. Maybe is because he emphasizes some points that want me to believe he's right but mostly of time he's not. I dont understand how people still think brode is doing something good on Hearthstone. By far I've been playing 3 by 3 days just completing quests and saving money believing that what brodes says will improv the game somehow but its not. This game becomes a hobby when u're in bathroom and you thinks: what the hell I need to wait one more time let me play hearthstone on my phone instead spending more time to a competitive game. That's it

Mark Rosewater (Magic lead designer) has also spoken volumes about the value of improv for people in positions requiring creativity.

Good thing he's a successful person with a game that is killing it ad you are just some salty loser on the internet then. Back into your hole please.

But no, it’s obviously all Ben brode’s fault that this game is so bad that millions of people are playing it, and that the plenty of other card games that have tried to steal Blizz’s hold on the market have all failed so far. Can you believe him? Such a terrible game that so many people apparently seem to enjoy enough to continue playing. /s

So why are you on a fan site of this terrible game that you obviously don’t play?

Because I was being sarcastic and I enjoy this game? Should be obvious enough from most of my other posts.

As a new game developer, this helps me to understand some things that happen in the game development process
