Hearthstone Update for February Contains New Events, Possible Balance Changes
A new patch has been confirmed for next month which at the very least will contain some new "cool" events Ben Brode has confirmed earlier today via Twitter.
- If the team decides to make balance changes, that is the earliest any will happen.
- We wonder if this will include the arena-only cards for future usage.
Is there anything specific you'd like to see changed in a possible balance update?
Quote from Ben BrodeBeen reading discussions about balance; we have an update coming next month which includes some cool events, and that is when any balance changes would happen. We'll be sure to announce any changes as the patch gets closer. See you at the HCT World Championship next week!
Those 'new strong cards' make other new interesting cards irrelevant. Some people want to experiment, not to 'play the same old shit'. Your argument is invalid.
So your saying corridor creeper is balanced rn? Really, are you sure? What’s your rank?
If you lose to them every time then the problem is not with the cards.
Corridor Creeper
Call to Arms
Psychic Scream
Some combination of these cards, I hope. Possessed Lackey and Voidlord are also prime candidates but they can at least be answered by Silence to some degree.
Yeah - lets just nerf every good new card from the expansion...
Agree. But I hope they would change Voidlord too in some way. :)
only Corridor Creeper needs a nerf. If you nerf call to arms paladin drops to garbage tier again and then who's gonna beat cubelock?
Psychic Scream (which gives Highlander Priest a second powerful board clear) and Corridor Creeper (which is helped a lot by how common Patches is) will naturally become more balanced after the next standard rotation (though I wouldn't mind seeing the cost of Creeper going up by one mana), Call to Arms and some part of the Cubelock package are more problematic because those decks lose almost nothing in the rotation. We had the same issue with Pirate Warrior in last year's rotation and I'm hoping Blizzard manages to get out ahead of it this time.
Apparently the jank I play is the answer.
Thaaaaaank yaaaaw! Maybe some FUN decks (I like cubelock, however I already have golden warlock so I want to play some other class) will be viable.

We will nerf Corridor Creeper.
