Let me use an extreme analogy: Imagine they made a
0 mana card that instantly killed warriors. What would happen?
-First day everyone would use it. Free wins against warriors for little investment.
-Week later no one plays warrior, people start to only run one in their deck.
-Month later almost everyone has got the memo not to play warrior, decks stop running it.
-2 months later only 1 in 10 decks run a copy, a very small amount of people start to play warrior again and find a new meta and have success.
-Eventually a balance is struck where some (very few) people play warrior, and another few play the insta-kill warrior card.
What conclusions can we draw? In the long run the card is balanced because it causes a corresponding amount of less warriors, which in term means less of the card being played.
However
a) Is the card fun?
b) There are a large amount of decks (any warrior deck) that are being prevented from playing, is that fair?
c) Should a person automatically win if they were lucky (or smart?) enough to have the insta-kill warrior card?
Now... re-read this replacing the card with BGH and warriors with 7 attack minions
