Seems like they gave Druid some nice tools. Was messing around in Casual earlier and had a druid Swipe me for 84 dmg? Kind of came out of nowhere, but thought it was funny. Guess druids don’t have to play half a dozen spells to OTK you from hand anymore.

That is NOTHING, had a Druid on turn 9 do 163 damage to me… Stupid deck is a STUPID deck.
I believe this is the deck in question. Looks like it has potential.

I had a druid gain 3600 armor, is this okay? I tried swiping for 160 damage each I did 4 swipes they still had over 3000 armor, what gives?

Nah, they’re probably talking about Owlonius Druid in Wild

Oh, maybe? I saw “casual” and assumed standard casual, but you’re probably right.

No mine at least was in standard 163 damage to the face turn 9

That’s pretty incredible. I’m wondering how the heck that druid gained so much spell damage.

When a Druid can make better use of armor than a Warrior.
Like I’ve said elsewhere:
The whole: “Every class gets everything” benefits some classes way more than others.

So let’s say that your hand going into a 10 mana turn is:
- Owlonius (discounted to 6 by Summer Flowerchild)
- Freya, Keeper of Nature
- 2x Cover Artist
- 2x Funnel Cake (discounted to 0 by Lifebender’s Gift)
- 2x Sparkling Phial (discounted to 2 by Lifebender’s Gift)
- Living Roots
So first play Owlonius, the Cover Artist. Funnel Cake to get 2 mana, which plays Sparkling Phial for 8. Play the second Cover Artist for 0, Funnel Cake to get 3 Mana, then Sparkling Phial again for 26. Play Freya for free, copying your board. You now have Spell Damage +384, so use the last mana to play Living Roots on the enemy face. Total damage 420.
I don’t know about the Turn 9 thing, maybe one less Cover Artist and one more Innervate or something.

People should be arrested for complaining about Wild without saying they talk about Wild.

I mean, not literally, but I’d 100% be on board with a 3 day forum ban.
I think you are being dramatic.
I also think that wild provides a very informative history of the treatment some classes have received, while others have not.

Yes, thats the only purpose for Wild… a history book.
But then complaining about balance? Please!
Look I’m sorry but Standard players outnumber Wild players at a 4:1 ratio. It shows a shocking lack of self awareness to start a thread and just assume that those reading it play Wild at all.
Of course if you specify that you’re talking about Wild I have no problem, but if you say nothing then people should be free to assume Standard.

Plenty of players enjoy Wild.
You should not frame your dislike of it as justification for
treating it as irrelevant.

Look i’m sure plenty of people play Wild and thats fine, nothing wrong with it.
However, balance is probably the last thing they should expect. After all, 10 years of expansions is impossible to balance. Its 99.99% guaranteed that someone will brew some whacky deck rolling over everything.
They can barely balance Standard and its infinitely easier, think about it.

A good point, nevertheless I feel that they should at least make an honest effort.
The gratitude from long time players might benefit the game’s bottom line.

Well, I don’t know about “impossible,” but it certainly is unrealistic to expect it. Rotation, among other things, is necessary to fight power creep. Balancing a format with uncontrolled power creep is nightmare difficulty.
