Hearthstone Yogg Nerf Patch Arrives this Week!
Last week, seven card nerfs were announced and they're on schedule for a release sometime this week. Blizzard stated in the original post that they would arrive before the HCT Last Call events, which start this weekend. Like most Hearthstone patches, the nerfs will likely go live on Tuesday.
The patch going live early in the week also allows for competitors in the Last Call event to figure out which decks they're going to take to the event.
What is Getting Nerfed?
Seven cards will be getting nerfed.
- Rockbiter Weapon now costs 2 mana (Up from 1)
- Tuskarr Totemic can now only summon Basic totems (the same ones from your hero power)
- Call of the Wild now costs 9 mana (Up from 8)
- Execute now costs 2 mana (Up from 1)
- Charge's mana cost has been lowered to 1 (Down from 3), the minion it is applied to cannot attack a hero that turn, and the bonus attack that the minion would receive has been removed.
- Abusive Sergeant's now has 1 attack (Down from 2)
- Yogg-Saron, Hope's End will now stop casting spells if he is destroyed, silenced, transformed, or returned to the owner's hand.

What Else is Expected of the Patch?
Outside of the card nerfs, we could see:
- The Welcome Inn card back.
- This is a reward for BlizzCon 2016's Digital Ticket and was not included in the most recent patch.
- Not in the last patch likely due to them not being certain of when that patch would be delivered and the announcement for the card back was not made until right as the patch hit.
- Tavern Brawl chalkboards / cards
- Correction of Tyrande's almost out of cards speech bubble text
- BRB Emotes
- Tyrande had a string for a BRB emote. It is possible other heroes may receive them as well.
- Hero event strings + voiceovers
- Tyrande also had these which pointed towards a lot of new stuff for holidays coming to Hearthstone, possibly through brawls.
yogg would still get played regardless.. the effect to swing a scenario where you will lose 80% to 100% into something winnable is just too good.
WOW. I opened 2 golden Call of the Wild, a golden Yogg-Saron, Hope's End and a normal Yogg-Saron, Hope's End from packs so far. I hope they let me disechant them for full cost.
Finally!
I wish they would put Molten Giantback to where it was before. They took enough cards out of standard that granted the only class that could abuse it, Warlock, to be able to reliably play it. (Antique Healbot)
I fully agree with this. And from my experience, Handlock was one of the first (and in the very early days of HS pretty much the only) decks that took a lot of skill and calculation to play properly.
And it was fun to watch in tournaments, rather than looking at everyone play face Shaman right now.
So true. Handlock suffered a lot, after brm and others rotate out, I hope handlock gets a buff.
R.I.P. Hearthstone
Blizzard i know its one day away but can you start the Nerf like right now please!
Just checked my account and saw one golden Tuskar Totemic which I got from a pack a while back. Yay, free 400 dust! :)
50, lol
Edit: Nevermind, full value!
Don dust it, Tuskar is still good drop
No it isn't. Watch disguised toast's video about the card and you will understand why.
Now you need really big BALLS to play Yogg after nerf
my strategy shall be to play yogg when there are more minions on the board, less likely to get faceballed.
With my luck, 1st spell he uses will be Elemental Destruction :P
same thing ! Or fire ball or fire blast, my record 2 fire blast in my face
at least they havent implemented overload yet, or at least it is unlikely yogg overloads twice in a row? I had a game where Yogg holy nova-ed 3 x in a row with malygos on the board. OTK Maly-Yogg combo??
They should insert the thumbnail for this thread as the new card art for Yogg-Saroon :DD
(((((((((((((((((((((((( [Yogg's sad smiley]
Yogg doesn't have any eyes, he have jaws in the eye sockets, so (((((((((((((((((( is correct
