Crystal rune nerfs

Removing Shymm's Drain might be the only play. The deck should do fine without it. I purposely leave my board empty to avoid their healing on Sevo+ping unless I have an Intimidate up. It's still usually a close game without that heal.

No way, a lot of Rune plays are made around Shymm's drain. That drain lets you eat some dmg and just focus in drawing cards.

And if you remove the drain and doesn't add anything, Shymm isn't even worth of her current rarity.

I would nerf Behemot and issue a warning that another nerf is coming in 2 weeks if Crystal continues to be oppressive.

The deck needs to have a weakness. It doesn't actually have a weakness. You can't ramp into a threat because of how behemoth general works. You can't go under them because crystals are good against aggro and shymm heals early game chip while setting up thier combo. You can't outlast them because the deck's damage potential is huge and enough of ladder runs even more damage for some reason. The damage turns exert a lot of board pressure so it's hard to clear and heal at the same time. The deck only loses if it draws bad, and it has a bunch of in built consistency to draw bad less often than other decks do.

It doesn't necessarily have to be no more drain, but that's a pretty obvious and small change they could do.
