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...

But raising the prices of Valkerie and Mustache Platform by one did not ruin those. In fact I have a deck I call "Rocket Opera" that they are the key. I think it would at least be worth trying.
I agree that Strongberry should have been Legendary since day one. And that "infinite loop of bonus attacks" never sat right with me. Especially when they still had the bug that allowed them to RESUME ATTACKING after the shield. Luckily they fixed that quick. But like you said, too late for that now.
Those were overpowered cards that could help win the game without any answer, though... There were reasons for those. Certainly you remember just how strong prof/valk decks were before the nerf! They're still strong, but balanced now, as opposed to before the nerd...
Berry decks are, in fact balanced now. So raising the cost only makes a balanced deck less effective and underpowered
I guess we have to agree to disagree. I don't think Berries are balanced now. Beatable does not equal balanced. It is too easy to wipe out an entire board on rounds 3-4-5 with berries. And if you happen to get some unlucky draws as a zombie, you are toast. The combination of Strawberrian hitting each for one when another berry played, plus the strongberry hitting for an additional 2 is just too much "bonus hits". Add in a second Strongberry and forget about it. Only Legendary cards like Gargantuan Thrower etc can help at that point. It just should not be that easy (translation: no legendary needed) and cheap to build that strong of a deck. There are no other examples like this in the game. The closest would be an Astro-Shroom/Admiral Navy Bean/Planet of the Grapes combo. But that is FAR more beatable than your basic Berry deck.
Speaking of ... how the heck are Grapes "berries"? First time a squirrel wrangler destroyed my grape environment I was like, WTH? 😛
Grapes are technically berries... Strawberries on the other hand, are not. Crazy, right?
While I would normally agree with your sentiment because of their win loss ratio at lower levels of play, that is brought in by players refusal to adapt and not the core of the mechanics. Much like I truly believe zombies were not overpowered in series 3, and plants simply refused to adapt.... ... And look at how those nerfs neutered many of those cards.
I get it. I have most cards and reach level 50 quickly. But I am tired of only playing Berries. I HAVE adapted - I just don't think I should be forced to play one way to win. Just sad ... another pointer to the dying of this fun game.
