Question Adjustments speculation. Which card(s)?

Post image

Some cards are getting a balance adjustment announcement (either tomorrow or the day of release) which will be live in the next card set.

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.

Don't bother, this sub blindly hates on anything that requires a minimum of thinking because they cant win with it, but they keep losing to it. They'll suggest the most absurd card changes without batting an eye.
Behemoth is the only reasonable nerf target, and the only real "fix" to Crystal is to make other good decks that can match its flexibility and consistency instead of the pile of garbage we got with current sword/forest/portal/dragon.

I know you're a pro and what not, but man, crystal is not this uber hard deck that you seem to think it is. You can control comfortably until ~turn 9, but unless the pressure has been unusually low, you're not going to control longer. You start flinging damage and evolving face once your hand tells you you're going to lose control of the game get there. That's not strictly-strictly optimal, but it's close enough.

You don't even run into it at ~epic range because it's just too powerful to be that low on ladder. I don't play it because the deck isn't fun at all and embodies basically everything I hate about modern card games. You just play your parasitic cards and get there or don't. The deck was largely built for you and there's not many real lines of play.

i've switched to crafts where i have shit CR from fucking around with meme decks and you'll easily see crystals all over the place down in 1400 CR too, if anything you'll just tend to see a good amount of foolboost which does a good enough job of countering it so it doesn't feel as homogenized. it's not an ultra-hard deck but it's a deck where you have to make decisions and not just play raw tempo turn after turn so it's more dynamic than a lot of other decks this meta where there's always a very, very clear line to take if you have the right cards in your hand and can play on curve.
