So, just read up on the upcoming Hearthstone card nerfs and...
...well...
...remember how, during Karazhan, after that wave of nerfs, we got Shamanstone: Heroes of Totemcraft? Well, this is the same, except with Druid. Why?
Yes, two of the cards getting nerfed are Druid cards...however, Fiery Win Axe, Murloc Warleader and Innervate getting nerfed greatly weakens three of Jade Druid's weaknesses while the Spreading Plague nerf barely affects Jade Druid.
So yeah, Blizzard. Enjoy another Meta with one uncontested "Best" deck again in Jade Druid.

For those wondering what the nerfs are:
Innervate now only gives one mana crystal (So now it's literally counterfeit Coin, nerfs Jade Druid a bit and greatly nerfs Aggro Druid, one of Jade Druid's weaknesses);
Fiery War Axe now costs 3 mana (Because the most iconic weapon totally needed a nerf without giving anything to compensate, even with Pirate Warrior, one of Jade Druid's weaknesses.)
Murloc Warleader got nerfed so it only gives +2 Attack rather than +2 Attack/+1 Health (Hurts Mid-range Paladin, another one of Jade Druid's weaknesses.)Spreading Plague got nerfed to 6 mana (Oh hey, a nerf that only affects Jade Druid. Shame they already have infinite ramp...)
And, finally, for no real reason, they decided to nerf Hex to four mana because why not. (I can see why they did that, though: Polymorph is 4 mana, why should Hex cost less.)

It's funny because a reply to one of your recent statuses @Pμrple mentioned how Druid wasn't that OP and Warrior and Paladin were more powerful.
A few days later, this happens.
Who wants to bet some Blizzard staff is lurking around here?
