If you're referring to Baral, it was the community that "demanded" the nerf. That's not a bait and switch.
If you're referring to something else, please be more specific.

In fact, the Baral backlash actually began before Baral was released... it would therefore have seemed prudent to fix him before release, instead of releasing a known problem card into the game.The same thing is going to happen with Tezzeret 2 and Rishkar's Expertise soon.
All of the Dev work was likely completed and tested by the time it was spoiled. So you can't just "fix" the card before release without delaying the actual release. Schedules must be maintained and it's not the decision of the developers to do so.
In addition, why not unleash the card and see what the players do with it? I ran no cycle decks, and thus did not contribute to any griefing. Some other players, well, have lower ethical standards, so here we are with a modified card. I should thank them though, because this new Baral is actually much better than the old one.
None of the actions or intents of Hibernum have demonstrated any type of Bait and Switch, which is the subject of this thread. It is nothing but a rage post and hate mongering. The evidence is quite clear and if players are having buyer's remorse then they need to man up. They knew well in advance that the card would be modified and still opted to purchase it. So why all the rage posts about something we all knew was going to happen? Seems a bit juvenile and counter-productive.
