I think of all the recent problematic cards: naga was the only one that had potential for an effect overhaul. But I guess they wanted to protect Giants decks in some way. This should be a substantial nerf though and with it's low popularity at my ranks + this nerf, I shouldn't be fighting it too much.
Yes it was close, we discussed a bunch of redesigns before deciding on the mana cost change for Naga Sea Witch.
8 Mana seems really steep. Did you guys discuss altering it to be like pint size summoner. First card each turn costs exactly 8? It would pretty much kill the giant deck outright as well, but seems like it would be more fun that way.
We did discuss that but I never really loved that design because most people expect it to work the turn you play it.
