If anyone is wondering about the OP strength of Druid, just check out this week's Tavern Brawl "Blood Magic (Standard)". The rules are spells cost Health instead of Mana... If the opponent is Druid and they go first, it's pretty much guaranteed to be a Turn 1 instant loss for you.
In reference to things like Pirate Warrior, Aggro Druid, or any kind of "big druid" with Innervate/Coin starts that you can't answer for 3 or 4 more turns, that is to say. Right now, I'm playing a priest with Archbishop and keeping Coldlight Oracles in hand against aggro, play against control.
...required them to draw poorly (rare due to how most cards cost very little, despite overloading)...but at least you could have some SEMBLANCE of what you needed to do in order to counteract the advantage. Right now, there's nothing to counter the current level of BS unless you ALSO play it.
I would argue that it is more frustrating to deal with the fact that 1/3 statline 1-drops are being replaced as the 'WTF is this opener?!' by things that require far more of a mana investment. I mean, Tunnel Trog was a reviled card by all who hated shaman's stupidly straightforward play which..../1
I did just that. Decided I no longer need to be playing this bullshit (that was in Gadgetzan) and decided to stop playing. My life is now much better without it.
I almost never care about this stuff, probably because I haven't tried to reach legend. I'm content to see how far I can get with a deck archetype I find fun to play. Currently switching between a Beast/Murloc/Dragon Hunter deck with Deathstalker Rexxar and an unrefined "Value Priest" with Lyra.
@Morthasa I think Jo could still use her if he wanted, but he decided to focus on original characters rather than someone else's character. This was back when the 4 girls were introduced.

Why don't you try taunt handbuff pal with dk?
Taunts to stop aggro token bullshit + buffs to fight for the board and DK to finish the game with heroability against jade druid. I would post the code for the deck, but i still dont have all the cards i need to finish it. Need moar packs!
Hearthstone break your heart? Have you heard the good news of your lord and savior Android: Netrunner? No RNG, just nerve, bluffing and informed card purchasing choices. Play it for free on Jinteki.net before FFG burns it to the ground!
While I agree Jade Drood needs a nerf, there are a couple methods of really irking them. First is Counterspell (laughed like a maniac when I countered one opponent's second Idol), second is Skulking Geist.
