Ramp Druid is not strong right now (sub 50% at all levels, per vs) and yet it feels powerful. That's why this deck hooked me for the climb, and also, presumably, why people are in the comments to it calling Druid "broken." https://t.co/lQjhovyFa4

This deck hits on class identity and power fantasy really hard, and yet it doesn't warp the meta. To me, that seems like good design.

Also, a reminder that I’m not on the balance team and I’m not the one you ask to make balance changes even if I didn’t think it was good design, lol

@hsdecktech Listen, it's a mistery to no one at this point that the love for Druid and Rogue is way higher than any other class so why are pretending here :)

@hattri_k I’d guess Warlock is pretty high up there for most of the team; they have really fun mechanics to design and play with.

@hsdecktech @hattri_k Ok, but what is the class that is most fun to do the flavor text for?

@TitoSantanaHS @hattri_k That’s a tough question! No particular class stands out to me, because it’s more about the narrative themes, names, and art that end up pairing with them. I tend to like the punny flavor texts.

@hsdecktech "At no point on ladder is Ramp Druid a good deck [...] There has been much criticism directed at the design of the deck and Wildheart Guff, but if a deck performs poorly and still sees play, it means players are having fun with it. That’s worth something." @ViciousHS new report.

@SimonkeyIsland @ViciousHS Yeah, I saw that and I agree.
