After over 1400 strips, we finally have a true Nerf NOW! moment, lol.

So far, I have found Dr. Boom to be a good card (and I don't even own a copy). It is very strong but his high cost and the randomness of the Boom Bots' damage mitigates things. The Undertaker comes early and can quickly seize control of a board with minimal effort, which is frustrating.

Good that they are solving carstone problems, hopefully not they will get a round to make protoss less of a bullshit race in SC2

Dr. Skill is referencing Dr. Boom. Basically a sarcastic way of saying Dr. Boom is OP and gives wins to no-skill noobs (if that wasn't obvious from context).

Though I haven't seen any huge balance complaints against Dr. Boom. Very popular new card, but nothing like Undertaker.

The pain and butthurt of Hearthstone players is my meat and wine. Burn, BURN for liking card games, mwhahahahahaha!

There is a good chance that since my deck is almost entirely composed of free basics and I have terrible game sense, I lose maybe 60% of my games online. However, this little monster basically made me regret every single time I chose to mulligan Soulfire or Corruption (a very poor man's removal).

Undertaker was pretty crazy, decks ran tons of cheap (esp. 1 mana) deathrattle minions for synergy so the UT was effectively a questing adventurer you can play on turn one. You can't even nuke it that early and if you drop heavy removal you're SOL once Rag and Doom and such arrive.

Like that's the only balance problem that game haves... I've tried to play it, really did. But HS is pure bullshit, if that's the kind of balancing and matchmaking Blizzards does to a freaking card game, I can only guess that its ARTS will be catastrophical. I'm not too hyped about Overwatch either.

For the crime of making hunters even more of a pain to deal with. Yeah I think a nerf is warrented.

That said, midrange and tempo are still things that control needs to worry about in the end.

I get where you're coming from, Jo, insofar as control might rule for a little while. But blizzard has said that the game is supposed to be about fighting for board control - if a single card combination removes player involvement on either players end, it's a toxic combination in the first place.

Undertaker was nerfed? I haven't played Hearthstone in quite a while, but I don't remember him being that bad. In fact, I barely encountered him at all. Was there some new meta I don't know about?
