Hearthstone Card Balance Changes to Come After the HCT Playoffs
Blizzard has announced that a balance change patch will hit after the HCT Summer Playoffs conclude. The playoffs are finished at the end of May, so we don't have too much longer to go!
No specific changes have been announced, though Iksar has mentioned some problematic cards.

In the weeks after The Witchwood, the Hearthstone team has been avidly reading your feedback and monitoring data at all levels of play. We agree with your concerns, and we’re planning some balance changes after the HCT Playoffs are finished at the end of May. We’re not quite ready to share the details, but we’ll provide an update once the specifics are finalized.

Thank you for your feedback, patience, and your support.
Cheers!
My jaws that bite, my claws that nerf!
you clearly haven't played the game much.
finally done :PogChamp:
Why do millions of people have to suffer for a small minority in competitive hearthstone... This does not make since and I figured this would be the case. I can now confirm that Hearthstone is now a game catered around the HCT before it is a card game for millions. I am now officially moving on...it should not take a month to balance the game when other companies do it within two weeks. All for the sake of maybe a hundred people which are clearly more important then the rest of us.... so we can expect this in the future, thank god I am done spending money on this game and any future expansion. Hey Blizzard - Team 5 JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE THE MILLIONS ARE THE REASON YOU ARE SUCCESFUL NOT THE COMMERCIALLY VIABLE SPOKEPERSONS ON TWITCH AND HCT THAT SELL YOUR GAMES!
Decks are already submitted for HCT, they can't make balance changes now. It makes perfect sense.
They need both the large casual audience as well as the professional scene to be successful so your argument doesn't hold water.
If they are aware of issues and millions of people having problems with balance... then they have a service to the community to fix it. Also where is this so called HCT list? This is just back ass wards THINKING and no other company does this even MTG!
These so called Pro's can adapt and should be calling out Blizzard/Tea 5 for not releasing balanced expansions for competitive gameplay. Just another it our fault not Blizzards... Lame and Lazy!!!!!

Everyone's decks are submitted and public. Any balance changes to standard cards would destroy the tournament.
Whether or not anyone else does it this way is irrelevant, though I seriously doubt they are the only ones.
"Suffer"... like wow. Just think about this. Are you really suffering? Are you in pain? In agony? Game is still playable a lot - not a perfect state clearly, but still. Meta is changing daily - decklists and population. It's quite interesnting. And suddenly much better than some eras in the past.
That already took place and is finished... everyone played the cards that were in the meta... this week would have been a perfect time to change things, do you really want to know why they are wating, because they use these balance changes to get people back into the game and carrot on a stick them they are abusing the community and thank god Ben Brode left, this development team is a sell out just like Bungie and everybody that works for Activision!
They owe you nothing. You owe them nothing too, if you don’t like how they do thing just stop using their game. You can’t get money back though, because you clicked “I accept” under statement that said that they don’t owe you anything and all sales are final.
Players might need time to test their decks but not at the cost of the community... Cubelock... Summoner... Paladin should not be allowed to exist for a MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
