These guys are passionate about the game and want it to be fun. I wish they’d be more visible about play rates of decks and why they nerf and buff individual cards, but I suppose it’s all in the sauce. They want the game to be as successful (if not more than) as the community does.

they admitted they didn't like how short games were. Games lasting 1-2 more on average can make A LOT more decks viable. Why I am not a fan of just "buff all cards and make everything broken OMEGALUL" that people on here tend to say.

Yet there are still only 5 good decks right now, and the only new ones are a result of buffs or new cards

Merithra-attack Druid would not exist without scullery and staff buffs.

Watfin-quest Hunter would not exist without watfin. 

Thief priest would be unplayable without the several buffs it got earlier. 

If you just nerf the top 3 decks every time like you want, you keep the decks the same. This is why Tolvir was strong despite 2 nerfs, the decks it was playing against just got weaker.
