Poison/Venom is unfair in BG

it feels like poison / venom is unfair in the case where you play perfectly and a god awful noob has his whole board full of poisons / venoms and you have no way to defeat it yes divine shield blocks it but when you have a mechanic where the curator has his passive summon a all type minion and a card where you summon your most recent mech minion that died ( kangor’s apprentice) and you combo it with rivendare there is nothing you can do about it just insanely broken, murlocs with poison already feels like bs mechanic only way to defeat poison is with poison and it get you nowhere scam mechanic to a loser win

So someone is a noob because they played a strategy perfectly? Its not poison, its venom and it disappears once it kills something so use minions you don’t care about to soak up the venom and add a few things like leroy and that rebuff shields. This is your inability to adjust your play for the opponent and relying on just following the meta. Surely that makes you the noob?

that’s a pro build, also now there are numerous ways to reapply venomous

They might have played the strategy good but its still a loser win in my opinion because it shows that you are incapable of winning a game without using a cheap bs mechanic which should be nerfed or removed or given more options to counter it, and yes to use minions to soak up the dmg they do is possible, but you can’t soak all the poison/venom they have on their board might do it a couple times but not every time and leeroy is 1 time use and his deathrattle doesn’t jump to other minions like murlocs poison does yes you can use divine shield also but its worthless against a scam mechanic, and my inability to adjust / play other minions to counter is fair to say, but again its all in the name of RNG if you even have chance to do it, if your lucky you can do it if not well better pray your hits are good or lose.

Part of the game is not mindlessly buffing your miniions, but thinking how to protect them.

Devine shield is a good defence against venomous
Mass damage is a good strategy against divine shields
Venomous is a good strategy against overbuffed minions

Order and well placed tounts can also be a valid game strategy against various builds…

You have to check from time to time what your opponents play, and strategize in advance.

Venomous only works against massive minions with no shields. It crash and burn against most meta builds today i.e. Beast, Undead, Pirate, Mechs etc .

Maybe viable against big dragons and elementals if they don’t have shields.

In Duos it can be a very good companion for your team mate. Bit only if you can actually play the game.

Yeah, it hardly works against mass spawn/reborn builds Also against DS builds it fails
