@mike @MysticKetchup original goal isn't really an important number. It's just a number that below there they are better off not doing it. 30k is a useful amount of money, but plenty ends up at the printers and not in Phil's pocket.
@andrew @Evu any process will have changes that occur without testing. Unless the process is willing to miss shipping dates.
I think the design crime with Nadu was the fear of shipping a bad card after nerfing the card. Not realising the modification was risky is something professionals should know: novel abilities are risky.
@mike and it's too big to be brough by anyone who would act noticbly better.

@bec remember 'creatures' only exist in play, every we here else they are 'creature cards'. This can be a handy way to remember that these effects care about the properties of the creature in play, not on the stack.

@luxyr42 @mike It gives a ceiling, not a floor or average power level.
Treating such system as not informing deck building is ignoring human behaviour. People will avoid including a single card from a higher tier than they enjoy playing. Unless it is worth bringing up in Rule 0 conversations and explaining that it isn't a good way to think about this deck in particular.
And players will treat a single card from +1 tier more kindly than they will treat a tier 1 deck including a tier 4 card.
