This happens too often. They nerf a card (in this case unkilliax) only then to add support for the nerfed card (hydration station) in the next expansion.
This is res priest all over again. It wasn’t fun then, it’s not fun now.

You don’t make expansions in a single day.
As it was said for a time expansions are made one year in advance.
If these were Physical-based cards, you would have a point
As it is, they can change any card at any time for any reason…there’s really little to no excuse besides incompetency (which is understandable, it must be difficult…)

And they do already.
It is part of why they not even Care about the BS they print anymore.
Part of getting things better is recognise what from the past is good and should not have changed.

I had no idea they make them one year in advance 
. I’ll have to content myself with playing against 6,600 Warriors and Druids in the meantime before there’s a change.
It’s a shame because I like the tourist mechanic. Lot’s of potential for deck variety in the meta.
Blizzards bussiness model looks now like “print insane cards which everyone wants to have and sell more packs” … that resembles the Zero pilots from WW2, get the $ while the country goes nuclear, literally.
They need to delete virus module or nerf it to the ground.
Yeah, when blizz made their agency post a few months ago, I knew that things were not getting better this year, because even if they did fully change their design philosophy, we won’t see that in effect until next year.

They have the foresight to prevent the shudderblock battlecry from damaging enemy heroes, but they didn’t anticipate a card that summons 3 unkilliax being a problem. Weird.

Or maybe you’re viewing it in reverse
They know they are adding support to a strong card, so they nerf it before the support cards are released
why not ? the question is a bit ridiculous
they nerfed a taunt so by your logic they shouldnt release a taunt support so when they nerfed brann going by your logic they shouldnt release battlecry cards ?
Quite possibly. The nerf was lazy and only made it more exclusive to ramp classes like Druid and now Warrior.
