The recent Dragons additions to Hearthstone's Battlegrounds game mode were a welcome change, though one dragon is having a bit too much fun.
According to Dean Ayala, Blizzard is currently testing a nerf to his ability which will see his passive attack drop down to +2, rather than +3. No exact date has been announced for the potential nerf, though we agree, Deathwing is crazy good and he could use a slap.
Do you think putting Deathwing's hero power at +2 attack is a good change?
Quote From Dean Ayala Deathwing is the most powerful hero in all regions at all levels outside the very, very top rated players. We're playtesting him internally at +2 attack and will likely nerf him to that soon ™.

I like Deathwing's unique playstyle, but I'm glad for the nerf. He's definitely mindless and pretty overpowered
I think a good change might to be to make the effect be a buff that you place on a minion, not a passive effect. So, instead of saying "all minions have +3 attack" it would say "at the start of combat, give all minions +3 attack". This change might be a bit complicated, but it would fix the interactions with token generators such as Rat Pack, but it would still have cool synergies with things like Cave Hydra or divine shield minions.
Still going to be insane but suffer late game.
Keep the +3 but have it trigger at the start of combat and not affect tokens
But at the same time, tokens is the only way to out-power Deathwing ...
