I personally prefer this type of balance patching, it’s more player friendly. I have roughly 4600 dust worth of cards on that list, which will be nice.

Once the meta resettles I’ll be able to put together a new decent deck from the ashes.

The last couple years it’s just been nerfing a common here, a rare there, maybe get back 200-400 dust.

The new Rafaam is not going to do well. Theres to many different ways to disrupt it, and to many chances to disrupt it. Itll be fun for a week, but nobody likes losing constantly with a deck, not fun…

Two classes already DOA (priest and paladin), and Rogues best deck is Incindius (again…), not good.

Dragon Warrior was never really “there” so it can’t be back. Id say Aggro Hunter Warlock will be the best decks to use the new cards, i just cant tell yet if they will be good enough to dethrone our two set old decks yet.

Not looking good. But hopefully the last three lower power sets will get balanced out with the next set and annual rotation next year.

Omg i havent seen so many 1 star cards in a set yet. This set is making Lost City look amazing…

This is not good

This’ll be a hard nerf pretty quick.

Current beast hunter can slot this in and drip it turn 3, ir turn 4-5 for almost free

Im in the same boat. I read it thinking the egg itself had taunt.

For a few minutes there, I was like “wow, that was a really well thought out buff”, something I havent said about Team 5 in quite sometime… but nope, its a shitty useless buff…

Why such a high rating for this card?

Shellnado was useless because of the 5 dmg…. And it cost 5. This costs 8

Can we expect a standard balance announcement soon or should I just start dusting my garbage?

Its so sad that the artists had to do 6 different drawings for this card too… what a waste of time

Saddest part is that it has the rest of set ti compete with…

My gawd these cards are hot garbage.

My gawd, these cards are hot garbage.

I’m glad to see you are frustrated with the current state of HS as well. I feel like I’ve been screaming into a void for the past year lol

There is no good way out of the current meta situation for blizzard and, as a player who’s been in this since alpha, it really sucks to see this happen.

The whole StarCraft mini set high (then low after the nerfs), now this.

The dev comments on the standard changes are not good…

One quest is highly overpowered and the rest are literally dustable garbage. They really seem out of touch with the day to day of the meta here

Blizzard must think the Rogue quest is fine, forgot about it, or so bad they need to do a complete rework

lol ya… I was talking about the standard meta. Got stale after about 3 days, and it looks like another week of it at least.

I keep logging in everyday and just sighing…

*Waves hand like a Jedi*

These are not the balance adjustments we were looking for…

I’m most concerned with the complete lack of play testing prior to releases.

Having the player base essentially play test upon release, then nerf/buff just wastes everyone’s time , money and dust. A good portion of time, when a deck is over performing – they nerf commons/uncommons, leading to minimal dust refunds. You spend thousands of dust on a deck with 3-5 legendary, X amount of epics, etc, and they nerf commons (ruining the decks), giving you back 40 dust and alot of times leaving you with useless supporting legendaries and epics in a lot of cases.

A lot of issues with the game would be fixed with private in house play testing prior to releases. If they even spent 5 minutes play testing this last set they would know it was weak prior to release. But they expect paying customers to waste their time/energy and money on it for them instead of them doing it.

This is coming from someone who does zero cosmetics and only gets packs from in game gold.

Man, I wonder what the conversation was like when they decided not to nerf the most dominant deck whatsoever…

It’s like they don’t actually play the game or something

Man, that rogue quest is balls still.

Even if you started the game as master dusk, just by having the quest in your deck, probably still wouldn’t make the cut.

Glad to see Pally got the wrong deck nerfed as well…

Blizzard should have to do a live panel discussion to answer for their crimes when they “balance” things like this.

Priest – I would say lifesteal and deal 5 dmg twice on death rattle.

For Druid – I think summon 3 (maybe 4, im not married to 3) a turn would be ok. Would guarantee activation on turn 4, play weapon turn 5. But you would still need a board to make the weapon useful.
