This month we see some minor changes in the Genesis set, where you saw some amazon cards see more play due to the amazon revival (Agrdor Protector and Myrto's Daughter). At the same time, seeing seven cards not being played at all in the mythic tier. Also, many of the Genesis cards have seen a 50% drop in price. You can find the spreadsheet with all the stats at the end of this post. So without further ado, I present to you the Genesis set breakdown for the month of April.
Primal Guidance
We saw a slight uptick in play this month for this card due to the amazonian revival. It is still a solid removal spell for amazon decks, and we will have to see where this card goes in the future.

Dense Fog
With one game played in all ranks, it is safe to say this card is the worst nature card through all sets. Please don't be that poor soul who thinks it's a genesis card; it somehow must be OP.

Underbrush Boar
There is nothing to see here but its over poweredness; it will be the best two-cost wild drop until something else comes along. You can slot this card into any deck variation, and it will give you value. It dominates this set as the best card in all categories.

Gloam Druid
This druid has been sliding down the list for the past couple of months. It seems that its steep price and meta viability has affected this card.

Compost Charm
With the meta shifting this month to more aggro play, it makes sense that this card took a hit. It is played mainly in control nature decks, and until that becomes viable again, this charm will be locked away.

With players playing guerilla training, this card has lost its value, and it's hard to see it coming back into the meta, although maybe I will stand corrected.

Cyrene's Blessing
I have kept trying to work this card into aggro nature regen decks, and it's hard; I feel other cards do a better job. Thus this card, too, will be in my nether realm.

Last month I believed it would see more play due to amazons getting buffed, although I was dead wrong. It saw less play in all tiers. I believe it's due to the mana cost of the card and amazons being an aggro nature deck.
