Dear @StrykerxS77x, @FG15-ISH7EG, @DMaster2,
there are indirect ways to tune the consistency of decks or induce players to be careful with deck thinning.
As you know, Ciri:Nova is a good example of that, its strength induced many players to try out 2 bronze copies decks, without the need of a hard limit. In fact the limit of 30 cards will reduce diversity and design-space: no more 40 cards Foltest, no more cards like Hubert Rejk, no more 26 cards decks. Just one option: 30 cards.
An indirect threat to hyperthinning decks was Mill. You could run all your tutors, but you could get punished by the opponent strategy. I'm a huge Mill fan as it provided almost a different win condition and it was a counter to the meta. Basically it kept highly consistence decks in check.
The developer could even come up with specific cards that increase in points the lower the number of cards left in your opponent deck.
Right now when I see the reaction of the community and most of the streamers, it feels to me like another Midwinter patch. Most of the people were actually happy with the create mechanic. Streamers and their viewers were asking for more RNG. But in the end they changed their mind. I hope to be wrong.
