Your 2nd point is interesting: You seem to mistakenly believe that a Barrier'd blocker absorbs a portion of the damage from an Overwhelm attacker. But in fact, the entire Overwhelm damage goes through to the …

Quote From OldManSanns

Overwhelm also punches through barrier--i.e., if he didn't have Judgement and you had blocked the Ancient Yeti with something and then gave it barrier, then your blocker would take no damage but your nexus would …

Quote From franky

I'll give you a practical example why this card needs some changes.
I had a game where opponent was with a full board of tokens/creatures max power 2.
He was at 15 health, I was …

Then it's a good thing they are being upfront about their no-refund policy. You can decide for yourself if that OP Champion is worth the risk of a future nerf. Seems perfectly fair to me.

I believe the next patch is scheduled for Feb. 18, and yes, it's supposed to be a big balance patch.

Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

Butcher needs to be at 1-mana. It's a card that would be absolutely bonkers in Hearthstone and it's not different here....welll either that or nerfing the Cursed Keeper spawn.

I absolutely agree …

Quote From Bystekhilcar

I continue to be firmly confident in the meta resolving itself without balance changes. Probably in the form of Hecarim-centric Ephemeral decks steamrolling the Elusives.

I feel like you are making a …

It doesn't belong in every deck -- certainly not most aggro lists -- but it's amazing if your strategy is to buff one minion and protect the bajeezus out of it.

Even when that's not your plan, it's great …

I think mine is pretty obvious.

Quote From OldManSanns

  You feel enraged, right? You just paid $10 USD plus most of your starter resources towards a deck that will never climb ladder--what are you going to do now? Not only are you out the …

Quote From sinti

I mean the fact that you die first from a resolved spell before your opponent dies from your board makes sense mechanically, but thinking about it, it is a shitty mechanic in its core.

Quote From Bystekhilcar

Assuming we're drawing a direct comparison to League, the answer would be that you get nothing, but you'll wind up using those cards in three months anyway as the revolving door of 'balance' changes comes …

It's also way too common in Expeditions, where it's a surprisingly easy build to force if you are offered any Ionia at all.

If the statistics indicate a change is needed (and I strongly suspect they do), I expect …

The Elusive Fiora deck that doesn't run Deny at all even though it's Ionia. ... what's your point?

Quote From FortyDust

Playing big, powerful spells MUST have an opportunity cost beyond just the mana expenditure. There MUST be an inherent risk.

Following your line of reasoning, that opportunity …

The deck that plays Deny has similar costs, though.

- Dead most of the game: Deny is absolutely dead until the opponent plays a deniable effect.

- Might not swing the game: Deny absolutely will not swing …

Playing big, powerful spells MUST have an opportunity cost beyond just the mana expenditure. There MUST be an inherent risk.

Deny is that risk. Any change that obviates that risk is a non-starter. Making it so Deny works only …

I don't see any reason for any kind of refund.

Cards are extremely easy to come by in this game -- plus, if they nerf correctly, the altered card would not become useless.

Refunds are a tacit admission …

Finally some Shadowed Isles love!
