Blizzard have often changed art previously - sometimes with a fanfare, other times with barely a mention. They will likely continue to do so.
This is probably the most drastic of changes to a card art I've seen since they have also replaced the card with a whole new character - I'm not sure why the necessity, since there are other "Heroes" who are also cards, but Blizzard does what they do. Without any functionality changes to the card, while your annoyance is probably understandable, there's not much that cant be done. It's not really worthy of any sort of reimbursement (discretional as that is in any case).
I had the same issue here, but I can confirm that deleting the game and then reinstalling from the App Store resolves the problem. Obviously that's not ideal for everyone (and requires a re-download of the game) but it IS a temporary fix if you are desperate to play right now.
EDIT: This fix is for the iOS version on iPhone / iPad etc.

Cheating: Create, use, offer, promote, advertise, make available and/or distribute the following or assist therein:

bots; i.e. any code and/or software, not expressly authorized by Blizzard, that allows the automated control of a Game, or any other feature of the Platform, e.g. the automated control of a character in a Game;
The part (2) specifically addresses your question.
I know that bots are illegal, but I was wondering if a script that periodically clicks an x/y location (the Play button) every 5min or whatever has been stated to be illegal?
[MOD SNIP]
90% of the time people are going to play it out and get their free win which is cool - but every now and then someone will concede. It's kind of like a Robin Hood thing, doing some community service to help people grind out gold in casual :D
The clue here is in your very question: "script" Any form of scripted bot is illegal in Hearthstone, and is actually very easy to be traced (there are plenty of systems that pick up on pattern recognition and click intervals, etc - that sort of thing).
I would suggest avoiding doing anything of this nature to safeguard yourself from an unexpected shove towards the ban-door. And certainly announcing it in an online forum dedicated to the game (Fan-site or official) is not a great plan for keeping your account safe.
Since this thread has apparently just dissolved into a shouting match and it doesn't appear that the original poster is even involved in the discussion after his initial post, I'm going to go ahead and close this here.
I suggest those involved in the tit-for-tat over the last few pages take a breath and cool off, please. Thanks!
So you need to choose which deck you hate and stick with that - because complaining about one deck and then complaining about the deck that actually directly counters and beats it is a little illogical at best.
Hearthstone's entire history is littered with cards that someone, somewhere thought was unfair because it made a particular deck that they didn't like "overpowered". And so the cycle continues...
Opening a thread with the sole purpose seemingly being to insult the intelligence of others and complain doesn't really allow any room for positive discussion and seems more like simple trolling.
I don't see this going anywhere to be honest. If you just want to vent about something, we have the Salt Thread entirely for this purpose.
But again, just as when the guy coins out the Breath of Dreams, playing TWO Embiggens on turn one is clear evidence of a person who has no idea what he's doing.
I had a mirror match and my opponent did just that. Should have been an easy win, but he somehow got the quest on next turn, then completed it 2/3 turns later (while I was building a tempo board) and luck-drew a 10/12 untargettable taunt. Sometimes watching someone do something stupid and get rewarded for it is quite exasperating.
Honestly? All of them (except whatever ones they made where the card otherwise, truly broke the game
And who gets to decide which cards "broke the game"? Objectively, it's down to Blizzard to make that decision. And they already did - hence the cards that have already been nerfed. They don't nerf cards for the fun of it; they only nerf cards that they believe are detrimental to the game as a whole.
Nah, you are assuming they only nerf cards which break the game. They nerf cards so they can print newer, better ones, to sell to us. It's all about the money, friend, not the balance. If it was about the balance, well...shit, we'd have a far different game at this point than the clown fiesta cluster fuck we have now. I thought I was clear about what "breaks" the game IE Warsong Commander, giving Frothing berserkers charge (or whatever) was plain and simply, broken.FWA being a real choice to include in your deck, Wild Growth being a real choice to include in your deck, these were clearly, never broken (they were balanced since day 1, Blizz chose to upset that balance for...you guessed it...money)
Loosen that tinfoil hat!
People will buy the new sets...
They don't need to do anything. They can power creep easily without nerfs.
This ^^
They've never nerfed cards just to release new ones and force people to buy them. That's... well that's some impressive circular reasoning there.
As a card, yes it is fair. Powerful? Definitely. But pretty fair overall.
The loss of tempo is a big hit to take (and thats similar to what Keleseth does). However, what makes the card seem fair is druid's easy access to ramping.
It's a big hit to tempo... Unless they also hit Breath of Dreams on 2... Also considering the cheats...
But, it's not a big issue with just Embiggen, it's a combo of cards. I will agree that it's a pretty loose combo, and when they draw right, it's quite hard to beat.
Just to amend a typo - my last sentence should have been "unfair", rather than "fair".
Hitting Dreams, Embiggen AND the sidequest in the mulligan is a pretty tall order. And not very likely. If you get a God-draw in most decks, the odds of you winning increase dramatically, which is fairly standard and not inducive to Embiggen Druid specifically.

Sorry, I should have stated my fix was for the iOS version.
I haven't seen one for Android but will keep an eye out.

Ironically, your complaints about this sidequest:
https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/240212-nerf-that-sidequest
relate to a deck which is specifically geared to beating this very deck you are complaining about here.
So you need to choose which deck you hate and stick with that - because complaining about one deck and then complaining about the deck that actually directly counters and beats it is a little illogical at best.
