![]() ![]() Your next spell this turn costs (1) less.ĭev Comment: Frost Death Knight is performing well right now, so we wanted to slightly shave some of its power to make sure it stays in line with the rest of the meta after the other changes this patch. Your next spell this turn costs (2) less. Now that we’ve seen how the card performs at 3 mana, we think it can use another nudge-especially with the other top performers being adjusted down around it. We decided that we didn’t want to hit Hunter too hard all at once. When we changed Shockspitter to 3 mana in Patch 25.0.3, we expected that it would remain powerful after that change and debated whether we should just change it to 4 at that time. Sinful Brand was chosen as a card to target because it punishes opponents for simply playing the game, a play pattern that we don’t like being too powerful or prevalent.ĭev Comment: Hunter is the top class at most parts of the ladder. The change to the Gnoll/Maestra interaction is a major change to the class intended to substantially shakeup how it looks and plays, while the Sinstone Graveyard change gives opponents more of a chance to respond to the big Rogue pop-off turns.įinal Showdown (the first phase of the Demon Hunter Questline)ĭev Comment: Demon Hunter is the other best performing class at high levels of play, so these changes are intended to adjust its power. (Has +1/+1 for each other card you played this turn!)ĭev Comment: We recognize that Rogue has been a little too good (for a little too long) at higher ranks. (Has +1/+1 for each other card you played this turn!) Dev Comment: Dual-class cards that are Rogue and another class will not reduce the cost of Gnoll. Costs (1) less for each non-Rogue class card you’ve added to your hand. Costs (1) less for each card you’ve added to your hand from another class. The following cards are being adjusted to be less powerful: Now that we have seen where the set’s archetypes landed on a power basis, we know where we can safely inject a bit of power. This is the first patch after the new March of the Lich King expansion where we have enough data to make significant and informed buffs to the new cards. We’re discussing as a team how to make the patch schedule work a little better for future holiday periods. This can make it more painful when updates are a little slower, such as around the holiday break period.

The Battlegrounds reveals will lead into the full patch notes on 1/20 and the patch itself on 1/25!

On the same day, we’ll get a Battlegrounds invitational event (featuring Kripp, RDU, Slysssa, Dog and more) showcasing the new, big update.Īnd finally, the patch itself will be released on January 25. We should probably get all the reveals by then + we will learn about any potential Constructed changes. Then, on January 20, patch notes will drop. ![]() Yeah, that’s a first – so far only Constructed cards were revealed, and Battlegrounds & Duels cards have all dropped with patch notes. Starting January 18, we will get a short Battlegrounds and Duels reveal season. On top of a “HUGE Battlegrounds update”, the patch will contain balance changes for Standard and Wild, new Mercs, and a huge Duels update. ![]() The good news is that the patch is going to be big and we’ll get to know all the changes a while before the actual release. It’s really late for X.2 patch, I honestly would expect a mini-set to drop around that time (late January / early February), but I guess that we’ll have to wait for that even longer. Apparently, it’s NOT coming next week – Patch 22.2 will drop on January 25, so the week after. If you’re still waiting for the patch, I have some sad news for you. ![]()
