Currently, Inferno Tower is #1 Building card used throughout the Ladder and Challenges (Furnace is #2, and it's falling far behind). Our goal here is definitely not to 'kill' the card (it will still stand quite strong IMO), but to make it less popular as we want to stimulate less defensive play styles. Looking forward to your post in a week — will also share the numbers we'll have!

That is ridiculous. Only reason inferno tower is used is because golem is dominating in the meta. If inferno tower really was too strong, than obviously you wouldn't be seeing golem every other game. That's the way a meta works, believe it or not. Such a pointless nerf. I GUARANTEE you will be balancing key components of golem decks next update (calling it here first).

That's a valid point, Golem has quite a high use % in your Trophy range and is very close to IT in this sense. Although I don't think that this nerf will neglect Inferno Tower as a counter to Golem completely - but we'll have to see.

Definitely will keep an eye on Golem win rate and use %!
