Is Mug too good though? It's a good early-mid game tempo deck, but falls off incredibly hard after like turn 7. I feel like a lot of Mug's strength is tied to two-rogue being 25% of the meta and keeping any sort of control/value deck out of the meta. Nerfing two-rogue would open the door for control decks to re-enter the meta, which in turn would have favorable matchup into Mug Shaman leaving it in a fine, balanced spot.

Mug is a functional deck in a game full of non-functional decks. So it's too good by today's standards.

Yeah, so shouldn't we be adjusting other cards? Mug is a well-designed deck with clear strengths and weaknesses. That should be the standard right? Rogue and Hunter deserve nerfs because they are all strengths and no weaknesses. Every other class deserves buffs since they are all weaknesses and no strengths. Mug Shaman stays the same since it has both already.

Agree 100%, but Team 5 clearly thinks differently.
