    Unfortunately no: you have to manually search each of them.

    Kind of sucks, since they could implement it as an easy QoL improvement if they wanted to.

    I remember they did the same thing during the Rise of Mechs event almost two years ago.

    It generally depends on what you expect from him.

    While Lorekeeper Polkelt won't be as good as it was before in aggro decks, it will pretty much be the same in comb/control decks.

    I appreciate the kind words: we'll definitely try to promote more content like this!

    Duels gets way less attention that Constructed, even from the community.

    Therefore, sometimes it is difficult to find content worth to be published, but when we see something interesting we'll upload it for sure!

    Thanks for the suggestion! Do you have any particular idea in mind? :)

    If you're talking about Aggro Druid, we're fairly aware of the deck's strength (we even talked about it at the beginning of the article) - however, for this article (and for the ones will follow it) we'd rather focus on off-meta/niche/emerging strategies.

    I was going to read the whole thing, but then I got distracted by the way too much cleavage in the thumbnail.

     

    I suggest the nerf hammer to deal with this problem.

    5 mana Giggling Inventor was and probably still is a very strong card, that can easily shut down aggro for at least a turn.

    Dinotamer Brann is one of the best cards of a class that doesn't see play in Wild at all (if you don't consider decks that are tier 3 or below).

    See the difference?

    Reverting Brann won't be the same as reverting Raza, but that is an even stronger argument in favor of reverting Brann.

    If a card is nowhere near breaking a format, then it should not be held back.

    Token Druid can still win games with its insane early game highrolls, but see it this way: Embiggen makes Voracious Reader pretty much a Jeeves, which is quite slow for a deck that wants to win games as early as turn 4.

    I think you'll never ever regret crafting Polkelt, even when it comes down to competitive decks.

    The choice is obviously yours and dust is an important resource, but I wouldn't mind getting stuck with it.

     

    Moreover, we always post a reminder that the dust refunds are going to expire lol

    Well since it got nerfed, you can craft Lorekeeper Polkelt, play with him for two-is weeks and then disenchant it.

    You won't lose a grain of dust and you will get to experience that Elemental Mage!

    And with that? If you look at the Wild meta are you sure Big Priest is most unhealthy strategy over there?

     

    Moreover, this guy just created the deck: it's not like he's a card designer or anything else...

    I don't think Prime Galakrond Shaman will ever be an issue in Wild. Sure, it was quite powerful back in the day, but Wild is a on a whole other level.

    On the other hand, Dinotamer Brann was nerfed because of Standard, while it was perfectly fine in Wild: in fact, Hunter is trash tier over there.
