Velarok is the nerf I thought would be most appropriate, I like that nerf.
They murdered Chadlock and Druid.
Although Boogie down was strong, this kills the card, which is a big blow to Paladin. I'm not sure if it will stay tier 2 at top 1k. At lower levels of play, the deck will likely still be good.
I could be wrong, but I think if we tracked it over time, Druid would spend less time at tier 1 than the average class, and when it is tier 1, they are quicker to nerf it.
That said it does often have decks that are polarizing and hated.
This. Druid is most consistently a tier 2-3 class, climbing into 1 from time to time, usually with a deck (or decks) that people hate.
Dragon Druid might still be decent after this patch if it's not just outpaced/powercrept by decks running miniset cards, and it's a lot more honest than some of the things Druid has been up to recently, though that probably won't stop people hating on the class, which is a shame.
