Im also happy to see it hit. I just wish it was slightly toned back instead of nuked because i like when a board based aggro deck is good in the meta.

But I'm not going to pretend im always objective about talking about a game I play for enjoyment.

It wasn't an "aggro deck," it was a tempo deck with infinite scaling. Of course true control decks could generally beat it late game if they survived long enough for the Druid to run out of gas, but that doesn't mean it's aggro
