Power creep has ruined the next expansion

I think the next expansion looks like a step in the right direction to address insane power creep, the problem is years of broken expansions leaves this expansion looking like a massive flop. In my opinion they need hard nerfs to a ton of cards over the last 2 sets, or just outright remove cards from standard ASAP ( Yogg and Reno) are just a couple.

If they were to announce an early rotation, I would not mind purchasing the pre order bundle. This expansion does look promising.

Rotate or delete the Titans and the Renos, and all good neutral cards because certain archetypes easily abuse them (e.g. ramp druid or ramp warrior) when others can’t.

If the devs had a good sense of designing the game they would be better off literally removing all neutral cards of the game (at least anything that isn’t tech).

Follow it up with established class identity and we might actually have a game worth playing beyond maintenance/habit!

Yes, if they won’t make an early rotation then all of the new strategies will be useless… These OP removers should have been never created in this game… they ruined everything… strategies and fun… but also the super strong aggro and OTK did the same. Brann, Boomboss… I don’t think the new cards will be use able until these trash cards are in standard and all the board strategies are dead… bad bad bad card design…

people been saying the same every expansion for years

followed by cries to nerf/delete a new deck from the new expansion less than 24hours after the expansion release

And ppl are right mostly because the quality of the game is decrasing each year… developers create more and more unfair mechanics so we wait more and more of them to dissappear from standard finally each year… isn’t this funny? The only problem is that… these are killing the game a little every time… and slowly ppl will have enough of this. Avatar of Hearthstone… the new Legendary… just another proof of the wrong direction still the game is heading into… random generated cards… again… we didn’t have enough already… no… another one of these just created… But these are not the biggest problem right now ofc… it is just an example. I just think random generated stuff is absolutely unnecessary and unfun… slot machine… you drop in the money… and you win or lose… Who needs this?

And they were wrong because…? You imply the Devs are infallible, which is an authority fallacy; a discussion stopper; frankly it’s a non-argument altogether.

Just thought the same today. They could just speed things up.

They were wrong because New cards did not fail.

For example:
Crewmates are a little too dumb to fail. Probably even nerf worth.

And even if Starships aren’t that good. Did you look stuff like motor drive already?

They need to fire these devs and hire a whole new team that is willing to overhaul the entire game, fix the insane cards, and design with balance and class identity in mind.

I think the Reno that restores the hero’s health should always be available. So many times it saved me from decks that just spam face from the get-go.

It was a figure of speech for the power of Standard, I didn’t literally mean all the Renos. That old Reno is probably fine or at least it’s fine compared to the power of the rest of Standard.
