Waters of Brokilon, 11 provisions, spawn 2 (4pt) Dryad Fledglings.
I will say this - this is the most Overpowered card in the game right now, the one doing the most damage to what could be considered a state of balance.
Lets look at the facts: since it was added in Crimson Curse expansion, it created the Harmony deck.
The Harmony deck has remained at the top of the meta (lets say top half of the factions) for around 9 months now. It's the only one that can boast this - other dominant decks have come and gone, "nerfed to oblivion" as we say, but Harmony always dodges those nerfs (i blame Burza and his love for the Squirrels...
Btw, Gwent HC is now 16 months old - that means for more than half of its existence, Harmony has been a top deck.
We have seen nerfs to Mystic Echo, in a vain attempt from CDPR to tone down this madness. What happened? Shifted to Call of Harmony (and Mystic Echo still strong as hell). And with the February patch, both those leader abilities got nerfed and what happened? Now Precision Strike is more popular, just as the Elves ability (cant remember the name). And guess what? They ALL use that goddamn Waters of Brokilon, its the safety net that keeps SC on top no matter the nerfs other cards get.
Sorry for the rant, its been quite some time since i did one of these, but i think it was necessary. And im probably even forgetting lots of things about how bad this card is to the game.

(EDIT) ooops, actually forgot to mention a suggestion. Well, the card was nerfed a while ago to only spawn 2 fledglings if there's a dryad on board, but it was reverted to this state where it always spawns 2. The first step would be to go back (not that it would change much, considering its usually played with Fauve)
Then a serious provision nerf (increase to 13, maybe 14 considering what it does on Mystic Echo decks)
(EDIT) i tried playing Invigorate and Guerrila Tactics without WoBrokilon, when i faced other SC decks it was like going into a knife fight and a gun fight at the same time, barehanded...
