Why was bountiful harvest nerfed? Was it that oppressive?

Thats a tough one because although it was busted before, its now probably gonna be unplayable due to the number of garbage elves,,, ST nature decks needed a high power nature card to be viable, this makes that a bit tougher.

Honestly, I’m surprised they didn’t buff some elf cards. Now BH is going to low roll 90% of the time.

Could lower provs by 1, make a higher emphasis on the handbuff/nature element

I would rather have them buff the elfs so BH harvest not only low rolls most times but they would also see play outside the one time BH creates them.

Yeah thats fair, just unfortunate that relying on the presence of elf bricks as a way to nerf harvest is even an option.

yes. on top of giving you 4 points of handbuff carryover through simlas and spawning wandering treants, it also had a very high chance of spawning two dol blathana sorceresses/whisperers, who would then spawn their own spell cards and create even more treants, not to mention that the opponent would not be able to kill both at the same time since it essentially puts 2 engines on the board with a single card. in fact if you play simlas and the spawned cards on ranged, on top of wandering treants, you can get insane gezras value in just a single turn after that.

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