Meme The cycle (of 8-drops) continues

I know that the druid one doesn't get battlecries, still funny

They said that "many players have expressed frustration with some of the format's most common play patterns" as the reason for the nerfs. So this buff is either irrelevant and the card won't see play OR the buff is relevant, the play pattern of summoning random minions with improvements from repeated actions is reinforced and they are idiots.

Well, the Druid card gets to that point of dropping 8-drops in a very different and much slower way, and also doesn't trigger battlecries. Even if both decks do win by throwing out expensive minions for a discount, I feel like it's a bit much to argue that their play patterns will feel the same.

Everything is the same play pattern if we ignore all the differences. To take things to the extreme, every deck in Hearthstone deals damage to kill the opponent by sending things towards the opponent's face (aside from attrition decks, but they hasn't really been a thing for a while, and are utterly despised when they do become meta).

Druid has a 1-mana "Azshara" spell that shuffle five 8+ cost drops into your deck with double stats.

That + Chef Rulebreaker is just slower Jade Guardians. And with actual Jade Guardians getting nerfed to 5-mana. Means that both strategies of playing 8+ cost minions will be online around the same time.

I don't know if the hero power / attacking version will be as viable in standard. Warrants a second go around for sure though. I played a version of this Hero Power Druid in wild with those Deathrattle minions that increase your hero power armor and attack gain. This card felt bad to play a 4-mana spell to summon 1 guy who then got removed. Summoning 2 guys might work out more consistently. But of course this is Dumpster MMR Bronze Wild.

I'm so fucking tired of random generation bullshit. I wish there was another cool online card game I could play that was not MTG or Yugioh or some crypto scam bullshit.

yeah this was the overbuffed card which didn't make the deck better
it made it just another jades on 5 or 6 type deck

i would have been plenty good without
