Why Hearthstone Cards are BANNED in Standard

Hearthstone went from banning a wild card every now and then to banning a standard card seemingly every month. How did we get here?

The most frustrating thing about the Pyrotechnician ban was that there was a card that was the obvious problem child, but that didn't get touched for months. His name starts with a T, ends in "haddius" and rhymes with "Schmaddius"

Fun video! One taxonomy thing though: The miracle term actually comes from a Magic the Gathering deck called "Miracle Grow" named after the gardening product Miracle-Gro. The idea of Miracle Grow was playing a small threat that grew as you played cards (Quirion Dryad at the time) and a bunch of cards to draw new cards to keep cycling and growing it very quickly. Miracle Rogue was taking the idea of that deck and using it plus Questing Adventurer as it's growing creature. However as time went on Miracle Rogue had better tools than the adventurer, but the name stuck. Still, the name miracle is not based around the unlikeliness itself.

It says a lot that almost all of these are just Druid being stupid. Also, I think the bug that got Jotun banned was that it's effect applied to every spell you drew on your turn.

So what I’m getting from this is Druid is a problem and constantly breaks the game so we should ban Druid. I agree.

Hearthstone did have standard bans, it was called the hall of fame

The amount of times they've made druid broken is insane. I can only remember druid being "bad" once.

I randomly stumbled upon this channel recently after not playing Hearthstone for years (likely for a few weeks during the early days and that's about it) and boy did this game change a lot while I was gone.

Blizzard could solve a lot of their problems with "But not less than (1)"

[nickjoseph]

I didn't even know the jailer got nerfed into the ground. That's awful as only making himself immune.

Miracle Rogue gets its name from Miracle Grow, a Magic: the Gathering deck which used cheap spells to "grow" a creature called Quirion Dryad.

Quirion Dryad gets a +1/+1 counter on it whenever the controller casts a spell (basically); the Hearthstone equivalent was Questing adventurer, which was run in early versions of Miracle Rogue! You can see how the name is relavant here. As Miracle Rogue got more refined, Questing Adventurer was cut from Miracle decks, but Auctioneer was still in the deck as people noticed how strong of a draw engine Auctioneer is, so the name Miracle was retroactively attributed to the "miracle" Auctioneer pulls.

Hearthstone banned cards, also called why druid is a mistake

[TheCypher]

Weren't the first 2 bans in HS Baku and Genn? Sure, they didnt call it a ban, but "hall of faming" them one set after launch was basically the same thing

[alphand_]

In the jailer + Tony combo Tony is the broken one but both cards are getting nerfed

And jailer did not get unnerfed after it's rotation...

[CountFab]

Fire Druid was incredible and didn't feel abusive in Wild at all, so I'm sad when they decided not to half unnerf Thaddius after its rotation...

[electricVGC]

The patch cadence didn't really fit the power level of standard cards. They keep making crazy cards.
Also, funny how Jotun is probably the worst legendary released that year and its bugs barely made it good.

How does this guy not have more subs for so much effort he puts into the videos

[nickjoseph]

That dang whelp has been giving me nightmares. He needs to go to 4 or leave standard. I'm so tired of dragon druid.

[Bznsin]

Next thing you know, they're coming out with cards that are pre-banned in Wild format

[ChaosLord]

The most common problem is Druid, just delete the class. Ramp costs nothing for litterly having double mana then your opponent on turn 4.
