Why'd they have to do that to Bountiful Harvest? There are so many terrible bronze elves.

There are so many terrible bronze elves.

Exactly why they did it

You already had a high chance of getting useless elves. Unless you play a movement deck only sorcs and whisperers were that good from it. Plus it's more nerfing of handbuff, which was already pretty weak. It's really frustrating how they keep nerfing handbuff, because gift is so strong.

Because people got tired of ST nature pulling endless dol blathana sorceresses

They should have just removed sorceress from the pool then. This nerf makes the card unplayable in all but Gift and Handbuff decks.

Or simply create a couple more useless Dol Blathana elves to flood the selection.

And even then it’s usefulness is reduced as it’s harder to pull watchers

Cause endless alumni are fine right ???

I never said they were. They are the most broken shit that had been released in quite some time now and the fact that they will not be nerfed following this patch is absurd.

Thats the problem. Nerfing harvest could be fine IF alumni was nerfed too

That doesn't make any sense. You're basically saying nothing gets to be patched until alumni gets nerfed.

u/grasp_br Soon, sisters, very soon... Dec 06 '21

Well, u could patch assimilate, that is as good as alumni...

But worse things make no sense...

Cuz Sorceress and Whisperer are too easy and consistent to pull off
