It seems to me that poison is only in BG to give people a chance to kill big minions that they otherwise would have no way to kill… which is stupid. You spend the whole BG building up minions only to have a single little poison guy kill. The game is mostly luck dictated. But, poison just makes the whole format a big joke.
murlocs struggle untill they hit tier 5 XD…early game heavy rng dependant on finding the oracles buffing their healh by 2
on that note…consider a rush up to tier 3 for the 2/1 divine shield dragons…they’re worth 8 dmg and can survive many hit…the extra bonus for rushing tier 3 is that you also get access to the 3/2 mech that can get diviee again
but rushin tier 3 is only if you dont got an epic turn 1-3 that synergize greatly
dont rush to Tier4 unless you play Lich King or Al’akir(great tankers) and with rng love early 0/8 egg///Hydra//divine mech with magnetize on top of few solid T3 minions
anyway…good luck
you should have seen salty boys crying all over the HS forums when dsp murlocs was meta

Still my most hated mechanic in BG. You work so hard to build up a minion only to let a 1/1 poison make all the work in vain. It’s a catch up mechanic that should be removed. Playing George and the ability to put divine shield on a bunch of poison minions is just stupid broken.
That’s George problem. Not poison problem.
No, just makes the poison problem worse. I played a guy that had nothing but 1/1 poisons with the divine shield minion and the guy that double deathrattles to make sure shields always applied.
We’ve all grabbed that 1/1 poison to knock out a huge taunt minion the enemy had built up.

I don’t know why people put so much energy into pissing and moaning about a game they’re clearly not happy with.
PS: Poison has counters. Shouldn’t be news after 6 months.
counter george with the taunt ghoul that does 1 dmg to all minions as deathrattle, will clear his divine shields 
I don’t know why people spend so much energy trolling topics that have no importance to them at all. Oh really? And what is a counter to poison? If you do NOT think that it’s stupid to put poisons to spoil all the hard work of someone to build up a minion, then you are most likely one of the people that need the mechanic ingame for a chance to win. Spending the whole game to manipulate combos and build up 100/100+ minions only to lose to someone that had a couple weenies with poison is stupid.
what is a counter to poison?
Cleave, divine shield, tokens.
Most poison minions trade 1 to 1. And outside of murlocs the only 2 poison minions are tier 5 and tier 6.
The problem in divine shilds on poison, not poison itself.
I agree divine shield is OP as well, but I still asset that a 1/1 poison killing that x/100+ taunt is way OP, too. Replace poison with +25 attack buff, just not infinite attack it has now.
