Quantius said: Rioters costs less, but is also less useful when you don't have a big creature on board whereas the Skinshifter swings for 4.
Firinmahlazer said: No it's absolutely a serious post. Electrostatic Pummeler was nerfed because it did the same thing as a Mythic only better, this is no different. Skinshifter is a good card and Rioters is just as good and more people have access to it since it is an uncommon. Nerfed, balanced, whatever you want to call it. And to answer someone's question yes there are absolutely more cards that are UC that are ridiculously OP that should probably be balanced as well.
I would argue that you could use that example regarding Gaeia's Angry Navel Fuzz with many things. Gaeia is the problem and has almost always been, not the card it is being paired with for a combo.
i.e. …"You have obviously never faced [ insert the below statements ] with a Gaea on the board"
*note: I am not calling for a Gaeia nerf... despite the fact that it does fall under the rules of nerfdom considering how consistently and widely it is used after each set. It is the "go to" mythic creature for green, so much so I can easily bet that I will see it whenever I face a green deck in PvP, and account for it accordingly, if able.
Rioter's don't need to be nerfed.
Kinesia said: They are not a broken card. Other things that you can break them with may be however!Gaea's Revenge is coming back in force because it _is_ overpowered and hard to deal with compared to anything else.And, yeah, it might be being hit in the face with GR and RR, but I can kill RR with flash without a problem, in that situation GR is still the issue.It's an awesome common, no doubt, but not broken. It can "be" broken but that's more because other things are, it's just a force multiplier. Literally by 2.
ElfNeedsFood said: Gaea's Revenge will only become more prominent when we get the update and standard shrinks. Green is so nerfed in other ways though, that is seems GR might be the primary reason to use green in the new standard, as it is officially double the power of the next highest available green creature after we lose all those dinosaurs...

I agree with you 100%. GR will always be the go to mythic after a set drop like this. Despite how OP it is, for gaming purposes it is just common sense to field such a card. Its power and evergreens can give the player using it a significant advantage.
