Developer Update: A Legendary Balance Change, and Some Other Cool Stuff! (16/02/2018) | Forums

I can not believe the hate on here. Yeah they are nerfing purify. Of course they are. I can't believe you can all sit back and think 1 energy to counter 3 and 4 energy spells is ok. Smh. And somm I agree is a little much but why not see how this all comes out before throwing a fit?

Please stop nerfing mystic theme.
I see how purify and powerbind could be seen upon as op, but decreasing their radius AND decreasing the amount of affected units AND doubling their cost? Why don't give it a slow start?
Honestly, anything could go as to balance updates, if the game had a deck-reset option, no questions asked.
But now I poured over 40 000 coins in mystic deck, and you just keeping "balancing" ONE deck alone over the course of last months.
Nerf regen once
Nerf zen cartman
Nerf purify once
Nerf regen again
Nerf powerbind
Nerf purify again

despite the fact that the mystic deck is a rare sight between top500 players, you still don't stop nerfing this only one deck in game.
yeh, lets buff stan of 1000 moons, so that "underpowered" adventure deck gets another fireball.

Thank you! I argued about this for hours on Reddit earlier. Mystic theme is in NO WAY over powered! In fact, I would argue that purify, regen, and spell bind are the ONLY thing keeping the theme even semi viable.
An example, most my mystic cards are level 4, and these are commons. Well today I switched out the mystic cards for fantasy theme, which mine at best are level 3, some even level 2 commons. I HAVE NEVER PLAYED FANTASY, and it was SOOOO much easier to get wins.
I wouldn't be mad if I didn't spend all those resources for the mystic deck or had if u could reset cards. But it absolutely blows my mind that these people think that mystic needs nerfing. They have to be either A. Low level or B. Low skilled players.but either way it hurts the people that put the most into their decks the most.
Also whoever came up with Stan of many moons needs a base power of 200, needs to be fired. Yea make it so he can ohko multiple units that even at level 4, can't survive. That's ****ing ******ed I hope u lose Ur job. It's like u said , we all know Adventure needs more damage. It's not like there's a loading screen in the game that says" stans adventure deck is the best at dealing direct damage" , or anything like that. Let's just let them nuke the board too. Smfh

Yea u obviously don't play mystic. Fact of the matter is the cards suck, those cards are the only thing that's makes the deck usable.

These bs people fantasizing that all u have to do is sit back and play purify and it's an auto win is stupid. It's the only theme that can counter poison, even then this idea that we all must be mana hackers and have 2 energy just to get the chance to let the units get across the field ,after EVERY OTHER CARD u play poisons something. It's rediculous. It's not like the theme HAS ANY DEBUFFS! What makes the theme so op then? Jimmy healing 5 hp/s ?!? Get a clue dude.

And I really love how they say "The current meta has made Purify and Powerbind absolutely punishing. They were able to effectively cripple many strategies, and shut down far too many cards outright."... ISNT THAT THE ****ING POINT!?!? THEYRE NOT OP!!! The last nerf was more then enough this is just too much

It's laughable, "absolutely punishing". Yea the cards that do absolutely no damage at "absolutely punishing". U know I just watch their last stream . They couldn't even get a win with mystic theme. No what's absolutely punishing, is having to deal with a unit that's poisons Ur team every 5 seconds. What are u guys doing to this game? Mystic is already complete garbage just look at the cards!

I'm a top 250 legend player - Avergnon.

The top decks consistently run are adventure fantasy and mystic fantasy. It's rather strange to see mystic get such hard nerfs when its pretty apparent that fantasy is the highest usage theme in top decks.

Perhaps the devs are trying to boost sci-fi's usage, since it seems to be in last place among the top decks, but nerfing the 3rd weakest theme is not the way to do it.

On top of this, the balance update to Stan of Many Moons will make Adv/Fan an even stronger theme. I currently play Adv/Mystic but with the new patch rolling out I'm in a decent position to transition into Adv/Fan, which I assume will have even higher usage than it already does.

I switched yesterday! Was weird to find out that my level 2-3 fantasy cards were WAY better than my level 4 mystics. Seems like the decent balance would be to nerf fantasy. Guess they didn't think about that tho.

Luckely I learned to stay away from legendary the last time I made the mistake of going there. Now I just let myself drop to rank 45 and go up to 50 again without losing almost any matches. I know it's a d*ck move, but apparently this game is f*ck other players or be f*cked.

I just don't get what they were thinking with this update. There were still a few complaints about Powerbind and Purify, but not a lot. But there are a lot of complaints about HH Clyde and Mecha Timmy being OP and what do the developers do ... they are going to give them a buff!!!

Only people that should have any problem with those cards are lower level players. All they had to do was make the cards available at later rankings like princess Kenny .but no just **** mystic players , amirite?

[Bobothemonkey88]

LOL I love all you whiners complaining about having to actually play fair now that your ***** Mystic deck has been leveled a little bit. The fact that you guys cant see the problem with one theme having every card in the deck that regenerates energy, the only spell card that eliminates any enemy out right, the only two cards that use 1 mana with both extremely overpowered, able to do the work of any other themes 4&5 mana cards. And having a b******* 3 Mana tank the camps out in front of your NK and blocks every attack, and the fat piece of s*** even breaks the rules of the game by being able to attract headhunters which is absolutely f****** ridiculous. Now you guys are on here *****ing and moaning about how the theme is going to be useless now or something. Give me a break! It's still going to be the most OP theme in the deck as long as it controls all the cards that regenerate health. You just might actually have to have a brain to play now rather than relying on the same b******* that you guys always do, and spamming your Friar Jimmy, Angel Wendy, regeneration, and Zen Cartman and thinking that you're actually good at this game for being able to win like that.

I think I found the most stupid person on this site. Nothing u said is true or makes any sense. Get good, u noob

"Excuse me, Im looking for the comments?"
"Oh, No...I'm sorry this is Abuse"
(Monty Python ref...)
Yeah, nm. Nobody gets it.
I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you do. I've been the leader of my very high performing guild Isince the US release, and have had a lot of fun.
I'm looking forward to continuing to be an adult, so when I have conversations with others in a public forum, a much more constructive conversation is possible by using my words, and not just the transparent projection of my own personal insecurities, spelled out in *capital letters.
*When a word is typed in all capital letters that means I'm shouting so those are the words that I'm really super mad about.

Looking forward to seeing, and adapting to the changes, Thank you for this generous opportunity you have provided me to challenge myself.

Yea guys thanks for helping this dude out. His deck the best. He op. He don't need all caps. He not mad. He don't care about all them cards he gave away, he don't care bout the ones that he wasted coins and mats on. He just a real cool ***.

This is like the best summary and comment on the upcomming buffs and nerfs you can find anywhere. I play mystic with purify and powerbind, but at least thanks to this video I could laugh about it

Yep : ) exactly.
Man: 'So u understand why there upset about their decks?'
Man 2: 'Of course.'
'*x thuglife x*' XD

I think it is OK for power bind costing 2 energy.
I just don't understand the circle of bind is so small, how to bind 4 units(at lv 4)? Is this design ****? And purify is also.
