Bug fixes
Quote from Blizzard
- Fixed an issue where Summoning Portal and Reckless Experimenter's effects were being applied at different timings than other similar cost modification effects.
- Fixed an issue where losing your internet connection while in the middle of editing a deck would sometimes not save the deck changes after you reconnected to the internet.
- Creating Zayle and Whizbang decks should now properly show the card's deck header art instead of the class art.
- [Mobile] Fixed an issue that could cause a blank page to appear if you changed regions while on the sign-in page.
- [Dalaran Heist] Spirit of the Tiger now summons tigers with correct attack and health values while fighting in the Underbelly.
- [Dalaran Heist] Cursed! cards from The Hand of Rafaam will now trigger their visual effects properly.
- [Dalaran Heist] Hero cards that are transformed by Golden Candle will no longer retain their hero power tooltip.
- [Dalaran Heist] Fixed an animation issue related to replaying minions affected by Bribery after they were destroyed.
Update:
Blizzard also announced a (partial) fix for the Psychic Scream bug via a Reddit comment:
Quote from BlizzardThis issue is actually resolved in this patch. Sorry it wasn't included in the patch notes!
Note that we were only able to get a partial fix in for this release, so you might see a little visual weirdness when this happens (but no more invisible cards). Expect that weirdness to be cleaned up with the Saviors of Uldum patch.

Get your trash sexist and racist self out of here.
Honestly if a minor change that doesn't effect game play has you thinking like this then you really need to reassess yourself. This honestly reads like a satire.
Oh wow. How does it feel to see sexism and racism everywhere? Im actually wondering how did you see racism here, though I doubt I'll hear the answer.
You know what else would be "minor change that doesn't effect game play"? Replacing every art with dicks. Would you like it? I suppose not. Dont tell me then what change is minor and what is not. Censoring Ancient Greece sculptures with pants and bras would also be a minor change which doesn't effect significance of Ancient Greece culture?
I guess he is referring to your comment: "all strongest characters will be females in hijab". Because that comment is sexist AND racist at the same time. The remainder is just sexist. And I am amazed how you fail to see that yourself.
And if I mentioned Jeans instead hijab it would be racist against americans, right? Oh wait, it doesn't work this way. Oh, well
mentioning hijab is racist now? You're braindead.
so you're comparing hearthstone to ancient Greece.... okay
So they changed cards were you could see too much boobs, ass, violence and blood? We're officially a children's card game now :P
New Secretkeeper has its boobs shown as old Jaina had
WTF with the art change? removing blood from a game about characters killing each other?!? what a joke!
Wow ass and boobs were removed, get over it there are enough Videos out there where you can See even more for Free ;)
Personally I find it very awesome that Blizzard keeps delivering Updates, buffs, New card Art and stuff like that. Makes the game feel fresher and it seems like the developers now care more about this game. Good Job blizzard, keep going! The New Expansion looks awesome.
THEY CHANGED BABY MOMMA SUCCUBUS?
Damn Blizzard acting like Ubi$oft with the unneeded censorship. This isnt going good...
What’s new with eviscerate? Looks like good ol eviscerate to me!
There is no blood spilled from the cut...
So you know, the card is completely untouched and works exactly the same as before.
Is hearthstone down on mobile? Today after the update I can log into the game, it stays on the hearthstone logo only.
Added/HoFed cards are not noteworthy? Before client update i thought they're still not live, lol.
At least tavern brawl is now open all week. Took them a while to fix that.
Rewriting history to cater to questionable needs. To be honest, new art is better, but it's so annoying that they make such changes in the first place. Especially turning succubus into felstalker. It was a succubus since beta and warlocks do summon succubi. Felstalker is a 3/8 with taunt - Lakkari Felhound.
Also, shouldnt they be refunded with full dust? At leas the cards that completly changed arts?
People use dust to craft them gold for the art. This is a big middle finger if you dont let it desinchant for full dust price.
I find it funny that the "Sexy cards" art was changed while others remain
Whirlwind
Heroic Innkeeper
Aviana
