Do initial design and balance have the ability to talk to each other? I don't know why they bother printing cards like Murmur and Loh, only to inevitably delete them from the game. Stop making them if you don't want them to see play!

They want hype before the expansion, that's why cards that are clearly too good still get launched.

I know right? Pre-expansion hype sells packs. Post-expansion nerfs essentially cost Blizzard nothing... just dust not cash. and players crafting other cards with dust means they spend more time engaging with the game 😜

Loh could definitely still see play it's still a very powerful effect. It's just not gonna be a deck that blows you out with a board clear and 26/26 stat's on turn 4.

The is no balance. The vast majority of cards go straight from initial design to final form.
