Stompadon nerf outrage
In the upcoming update I believe stompadon should not cost 4 brains. The card should stay at a 3 cost. There are a lot of decks that can deal with stompadon. Aggressive decks can easily kill off stomp...

Zombie players will keep playing Zombies. A bump in cost by 1 more brain isn't the end of the world. I'm sure Stompadon will still be a good card, there will simply be more answers to it than a few 3 costs. But honestly, we should wait and see how much really changes with the cost and the new additions in the next set.
I agree with @SmallHotChocolat. The truth is, that the nerf was necessary. Even though aggressive decks could kill it pretty easily as you mentioned, the players could protect Stompadon just as easily with Escape Through Time or health buffs.
Delaying Stompadon 1 turn AND increasing the cost of Escape Through Time makes it so that Stompadon will hardly survive more than 2 turns on the board, will make it more balanced. But still, I think that those zombie players that want to keep playing Stompadon will find the way to make it work.
Personally, I wish they'd replace all "Cannot be hurt" effects with "Gains Armored 2" or something. It'd still protect rather well, but would make it possible to make at least a little headway.
- Or maybe plants get a few more can't be hurt this turn cards, especially with how much easier deadly is to add.
Again with the defending plants....
I still say the biggest mistake was splitting the set. I'm sure if they gave the testers the cards like we received them, they would have caught at least one of the upcoming nerfs. Stompadon being a four cost is not an issue with me, but it will take a hit for sure. An extra turn means possibly fewer zombies in hand, but it was expected. Zomblobs no longer bullseye is a good one too, considering it is a rare, and was way stronger than most its counterparts.
