Berries MUST be Nerfed
I have never called for nerfing before. I also thought some of the nerfing, like with Valkyrie, were maybe not needed but still was not upset about it. But now I feel the Strawberrian/Strongberry com...
You can't really change it without completely destroying berries. They're not even overpowered, as you have just stated.
The problem is with the zombie players. Not enough of them are using decks that can defeat berries because instead of responding to the decks that are in play by changing their decks to counter, they expect the game to change around them, so that their favorite deck is still viable.
That and I can't tell you just how few players below Platinum use removal cards. If you actually look through the zombie cards in the game, there are at least two (when considering joint classes) that can be used to counter those cards (strawberrian and strongberry) as they come up. That means you have double the chance of countering those cards when they come up as they do of having those cards available on the turn. But again, most zombie players would rather change the game then change their strategy... ... So, if they don't have the counters in their hand, and berry decks continue to have high win rates because of their (zombie's) refusal to adapt and overcome, then you'll continue to see boring Berry decks in play.
There other problem, admittedly, is a lack of imagination from plant players to come up with new and interesting decks when they have the option to just recreate strong ones they see online... ... Especially when those decks get them wins
