Direct damage is nice, but it should have to go through TAUNT minions as well. Face is the place… yeah… how about TAUNT minions now all can also BLOCK spells from going face.
This is perfect balance. People will cry and whine but you know it needs to happen!
Direct damage, meaning from hand, is one player directly attacking the opponent.
Taunt has nothing to do with it as it’s indirect. The board plays no role.

Sure.
Duplicate the damage and we have a deal.
After all there is reduction on it being able to hit whatever you need.
After all if you not put a taunt you should be punished harder in a game where you’re supposed to use to block spells.
Better yet make it so all spells have to hit taunt first before they can target what you want. Priest needed more nerfs for their spells. All you would need vs Priest wold be a 4/X taunt then you could fatigue the fatigue priest and get bonus mill on top as their hands fill with spell that can’t target anything. This would effectively delete Priest from the game without actually deleting the class and it would make Hearthstone a better place.
