Okay…
I think there are 2 points to actually be talk about here.
-
While the deck is overpowered VS is overrating how bad the experience of face it really is for the views.
-
Considering what happened in the past it’s safe to tell that nerf alura to 5 Mana solves it.
That because 5 Mana is the key point were most answer to big boards get online.
The card was always a little above the curve in any paladin decks anyway.

Gonna have to disagree with you on that one.

Does this mean that druid might pass under the nerf radar?

Think Glowfly Swarm might see a nerf to 6 mana. Alternatively, Arbor Up.
Because I honestly fail to see how you nerf the ACTUAL problem cards w/o removing them from the game / reworking them entirely.
There is not a chance for that to happen and is quite preposterous to think so all the while stealth/weapons rogue can win games by turn 5 easily in standard. In fact I only ever beat that rogue deck once today with token druid.
You do realize druid can win the game on turn 3, AND beats aggro rogue? If you lose to rogue with token druid on a consistent basis, then it’s an L2P-issue.

I never won a game by turn 3 with druid and never lost a game by turn 3 vs. another druid either.
So it hasn’t happened to you, alas, it can’t happen?

I guess not.
20 chars.
Lost a game to druid on t4 today, had one minion(4/3) on board and did the next spell is cast twice into summon 2 treants and give your minion +2/+1. Which left me facing 8/5 and four 6/4., and that’s a 2 card combo which is impossible to answer for everyone maybe except warrior with coin into brawl… and yes token druid will undoubtedly receive a nerf

I feel like this report is already outdated tbh.
People are camping in high legend for a good season finish and Cheese Paladin has been a unicorn deck for 2 days now. It pretty quickly fell off due to having a noticeably uncomfortable matchup against Swarm Druid. And it’s just too inconsistent I suppose.
To be fair, I had turn 4 lethal as rogue as well vs a warlock.

Also VS’ comments are wild as always. How does Treant Druid never beat Cheese Paladin when the Goru deck has a positive wr against it in top 1k according to HSR? All Swarm Druids are good against that Paladin deck lmao.
According to HSR Cheese Paladin is only actually good against Warrior and Priest. And after a hundred+ of games in HL this week I can attest to it tbh.
Druid’s not that consistent either. It’s easily the most powerful deck when it highrolls, but that requires a fairly specific mulligan result.
In that sense, cheese paladin has consistency at its side.
Idk I and other HL players seem to be of the opinion that the deck is very inconsistent. No Alura highroll and the deck falls apart.
The streaks of games without Alura feel terribad, you don’t want to play that deck in top 300 for sure lmao, let alone top 100. So no wonder it kinda disappeared from those ranks in the past two days. It’s a triumvirate of Warrior, Priest and Druid for the most part.

All the decks viable in the meta at the moment and trash still playing bomb warrior.
Incredible.
Bring on the rotation.

One minion Priest is fun though:D
Paladin needs to lose its early game.
First day of school should cost 1 and aldor should be a 1/2.
Also, they should stop with these interactions of playing big spell too early, I always hated when paladins did that with prismatic lens.
Paladin is now home to the most broken deck in the format, with a nonsensical matchup spread (that should mellow out, to be fair), but most importantly, a ridiculous play pattern that is the definition of toxic gameplay.
No longer just a passive “big” deck with Nozdormu, Alura has allied with murlocs to bring you the dumbest Hearthstone experience of the current Standard year. No deck can reliably handle the kind of swing turn that is enabled by her spellburst combo. Cheese Paladin effectively has two copies of Barnes: one of them is stronger and more warping than the original Barnes, while the other can be consistently tutored by Redscale Dragontamer.
The seething emotion boiling over here is just amazing. It certainly tells you what VS’s stance on the deck is. They don’t like it one bit. They called it worse than evolve shaman, and considering how much they hated evolve shaman, that says something.
