Druid of Peace was tested in the Version 6.2 playtest, with the proposed nerf being a removal of its attack and increased Gold cost. Community playtesters noted that while it was not common in casual gameplay, it was deemed overpowered in competitive gameplay, with it dominating over many archetypes, and being a hard counter to OTK.<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTs-Rj9TCVw|title=BCS 6.2 Tester Commentary|publisher=YouTube, Odyssey}}</ref> Removing the base attack and increasing its Gold cost from 3 to 5 still accomplishes this goal while being harder to use defensively.<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video" /> It should be noted that competitive players would rely on [[Return to Sender]] (versus single enemy Monkeys) and [[Ceasefire]] (against Defenders) in OTK to counter specific anti-OTK cards.<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video" /> | Druid of Peace was tested in the Version 6.2 playtest, with the proposed nerf being a removal of its attack and increased Gold cost.

Druid of Peace was nerfed in Version 6.4, due to its further overpoweredness in competitive gameplay, despite little impact in casual gameplay. Based on tester commentary, it has a similar cost to [[Corvus Academy of Arts]] and the nerf will no longer make it significantly cheaper than other similar anti-OTK options.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5RCsiqq--s|title=6.4 Tester Commentary - Bloons Card Storm|publisher=YouTube|author=OdysseyTOS}}</ref> | Druid of Peace was nerfed in Version 6.4, due to its further overpoweredness in competitive gameplay, despite little impact in casual gameplay.
