The Balance Patch Releases Next Week - September 18
We're going to be seeing the five recently announced card nerfs hit next Monday!
Quote from DaxxarriIn the recent Upcoming Balance Changes – Update 9.1 blog, we discussed the details and philosophy behind balance updates that are coming to several Hearthstone cards:
- Innervate - Now reads: Gain 1 Mana Crystal this turn only. (Down from 2)
- Fiery War Axe - Now costs 3 mana. (Up from 2)
- Hex - Now costs 4 mana. (Up from 3)
- Murloc Warleader - Now reads: Your other Murlocs have +2 Attack. (Down from +2 Attack, +1 Health)
- Spreading Plague - Now costs 6 mana. (Up from 5)
This patch is currently targeted for September 18th PDT. Please note that updates for mobile devices may take a few additional hours to propagate.
Once these card changes are live, players will be able to disenchant cards that are not Basic (Murloc Warleader and Spreading Plague) for their full Arcane Dust value for two weeks. Basic cards cannot be disenchanted and will not be available for an Arcane Dust refund.
This is actually why they SHOULD nerf it... There will be more other insane turns even if it is nerfed, they will be just more skill (or luck)
They should really implement sarcasm tags, not the first time people think a joke is serious :P
Nah I always react that way to sarcasms... I don't know why, I just like to answer seriously for whatever reason, also sometimes it is hard to tell if it is a disagreement or sarcasm...
I have 3200 dust... please help... counting in oncoming nerfs... druid DK + shaman DK or.... Raza + Priest DK???? Please advise....
PS. as for druid I do NOT have Fandrall..... :/
just did it... raza + priest dk.... gg
Razakus Priest is going to have a good time with all these nerves of all tier 1 decks.
And Razakus decks are fun, because you can always use a few "Love cards" what you cannot in non-highlanders
What a nice birthday present for me... (it will actually be my birthday)
My mom's birthday too lol.
Gather up 2400 Dust, Disenchant 2 Murloc Warleader, craft 2 Golden Murloc Warleader. Murlocs reign supreme, wrlwrl!
He is ready
Let´s just hope thigs go as Trump and Toast said and theese nerfs actually brignd more variety to constructed. I haven´t played ranked just because of the experience I had the last month and. But if the nerf fails and Druidstone is replaced by Priestone, I´m just keeping gathering gold for the next expansion.
Don't forget to get your 1k dust. You can always craft them back with the same amount of dust.
Shame I don't have any war leaders, but at least I have a spreading plague card. And it's golden too. Sweet sweet, 800 dust. It's something at least.
Cool, I was expecting the end of the month.

Blizzard has said (many times) that their goal is to bring down the power of basic and classic cards. To buff any basic card to the power of say waraxe for example would only make things worse.
Contrary to popular belief that would actually be worse for the game. When you nerf AND buff things you have a higher chance of unbalancing decks or whole metas. And on top of that players would complain more when Team 5 buffs <Insert random group of players' favorite class here>, but did not buff the other guys' favorite class.
Why buffing unplayable cards ? To make them busted enought they becomes played and having players comp^laining about them ?
Buffing them but not enought to make them playable and in this case why bothering buffing them ?
it couldn't hurt to change some cards, like reduce booty bay body guards cost by one or increasing its health by one. Cards that don't get played and giving them buffs that'll still not be good enough to let them be played doesn't really affect anything. That's why they were fine with ice rager, evil heckler. 2 strickly better cards that still didn't see play. why shouldnt we buff cards and why do we power creep instead? that's the real question. It would add much more variety in the game if they buffed a lot of the really bad cards like booty bae and magma rager but not too much tho, prob something like a simple stat or mana change
