Can we talk about Nebula in Arena?

According to the HSReplay website Nebula has a 64.1% deck winrate in arena, 3.3% higher than the next card which is Exarch Hataaru at 60.8%. It has some pretty highly strong 8 cost minions in it’s generation pool, among them:

  • Splitting Spacerock
  • Kologarn
  • Mish-Mash Mosher

1 of those is a highly sticky minion, and the other 2 are instant answers to threats (and very good ones), and you can get 2 of each!
On top of that, they gain Elusive for some god forsaken reason, which narrows the amount of cards that can remove them significantly.

I’m in utter shock this card hasn’t been balanced yet, it’s not like it’s popular in Ranked decks which would make it abit sensitive to touch.

I can offer a couple solutions that would make it less of a nighmare to deal with:

  • 9 cost, discover 2 x 7 cost minions with taunt and elusive
  • 8 cost, discover 2 x 6 cost minions with taunt and alusive

Any of these options would be preferable over the current completely overpowered one.

If you draft some of these mentioned 8-drops (+some others too) you are happy. Then you play it and opponent spends one mana more next turn to get two with taunt and elusive. Absolutely the card should be banned from arena. Ruins so many games and runs. This coming from 12k arena wins player.
