Vortex Gaming

· Swordcraft is currently considered to have both Enhanced Sword and Root Sword as S-tier decks.
· Albert is a core win condition in both decks, a powerful card capable of enabling 20-damage OTKs (One Turn Kills).
· However, since he is scheduled to be removed from the game due to the rotation at the end of April, a nerf in this balance patch is unlikely.
· Shincera has a very powerful ability to clear the board and deal direct damage to the opponent's leader.
· While Root Sword could become problematic if it dominates the meta, it's not at that level currently, so a nerf in this patch is unlikely.

· Spring Blossom Fairy is identified as the main culprit for elevating Evolution Forest to a top-tier deck.
· It provides 3/3 stats and Ward for 2 cost, and enables a free evolution, leading to it being considered overstatted.
· However, developers tend to observe the impact of new set cards rather than nerfing them immediately, so a nerf in this patch is unlikely.
· Nurturing Altena is a powerful card that generates three Spring Blossom Fairies.
· While powerful, it can be counter-played by most factions and is not an unstoppable win condition like last season's 'Egg Portal,' so a nerf is unlikely.

· Ernst demonstrates very powerful performance despite being a 10-cost card.
· It can be played early through ramp, and some argue that powerful 10-cost cards are positive for the game.
· While slightly overstatted compared to other 10-cost cards, it has a unique design, making it a card that players hope won't be nerfed.
· However, if a nerf occurs in Dragoncraft, it is one of the most likely candidates.

· Blessing of Madness is a card that has already been nerfed once (cost changed from 2 to 4).
· It provides 10 healing when five amulets are full, and the mechanism that allows it to circumvent the countdown damage drawback is problematic.
· Recently, a new 9-cost card has helped fill amulets, leading to its resurgence in play.
· This card's mechanism limits design space, and there's an opinion that a re-nerf is needed for a fundamental solution.
· However, since it's already been nerfed, another nerf in this patch is unlikely.

· Abysscraft generally shows weakness, but Milo is leading an S-tier deck.
· It's a unique archetype that balances aggro and OTK, positively impacting game diversity.
· It is considered to be playing a healthy role in the current meta, so a nerf is highly unlikely.

· Sand Dolphin, Primax Successor is the card most likely to be nerfed in this balance patch.
· Its 6-evolution quest mechanism is interesting, but there are currently too many free evolution methods in the game, allowing it to be easily utilized by all classes.
· This neutral card causes all classes to play similar 'Sand Dolphin Evolution decks,' harming meta diversity.
· A nerf is urgently needed for the health of the meta, and considering the developers' tendency to nerf one problematic card, it is the most likely candidate.

· Last season, Imari caused significant controversy due to her ability to transform units into 3/3s for 1 cost.
· However, Portalcraft is currently in the weakest position among all classes.
· Due to the rotation at the end of April, Portalcraft is expected to lose many core cards.
· Therefore, removing a powerful option from an already weak class is deemed inappropriate, making a nerf in this patch unlikely.

· The first rotation for Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond is scheduled for the end of April.
· Through rotation, many cards will be removed from the game, and new cards will be added.
· The developers are expected to use this rotation as the primary means of balancing the game.
· Therefore, it is predicted that there will be no balance changes to the main game in this balance patch.
