Dear Devs,

Since you guys have no problems about allowing Baral to run rampant, dominating and ruining the game, could you at least unnerf other cards that you pre-emptively nerfed to the ground in fear of their presumably looping potential, like Torrential Gearhulk, please?

Thanks.

    I agree that this card was nerfed into oblivion. His original form was overly powerful, but you turned him into proper rubbish.

    How about grab the last spell and give it 10 mana? Thus, no infinite deploy loops, but the card is still pretty strong.

    Card adjustments should typically be done with a scalpel, not a clever

    The original version is too nasty if you make Deploy your only spell. While I don't think you can get an infinite loop (because Dovin can only have 5 supports) you can definitely get a lot of castings of the spell. That said, the current form is nearly useless. I like the fixed mana or charging the spells up by a percentage of their full mana (say 50%).

    These are the same Devs that nerfed Diciple of the Ring because it was deemed OP! How times have changed...

    When they fixed his ability to be on cast only, rather than being when he comes into play, he would have been perfect. Mythic in power, but in no way too powerful nor abusable in loops. Instead they made him totally worthless.

    I guess this is what Brigby may have meant when he said "There is a fine line between a weak and an OP card"...

    Also Skysnare Spider. And Sword of the Animist, that's pretty unimpressive these days... Noyan Dar, too. And no-one plays Relic Seeker any more. And, you know what, how about Mizzium Meddler? That's probably not too broken in the current meta. Ooh, what about Harbinger of the Tides? Animist's Awakening? Claustrophobia and Suppresion Bonds? Day's Undoing? Aligned Hedron Network? Undergrowth Champion? Season's Past? Gonti's Aether Heart?
