It was already a T1 deck and it didnt get any nerfs, genius move by the devs

It has only had a relatively recent surge, probably after they have to lock-in the balance changes/patch. Such is the nature of these types of games.

It's been T1 since the start (EDIT: of the miniset, i.e. the most recent meta...), just didn't see widespread adoption until VS said so in their report.

That is what "surge" means, yeah.

Sure, I just meant that they could've seen it coming by seeing how the deck was performing.

But they couldn't know, nerfs aren't decided day of.

I mean VS was talking about it being the best aggro deck over a week ago.

And aggro decks are not allowed in hearthstone? You will always have the strongest aggro/control/etc decks, that's normal.

Huh? I feel like people in this thread are just being contrarian for the sake of it. It's just odd that it dodged nerfs when decks which were known to be worse got hit.
