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.
Great update! (I'm not alone according to support forum)

Just scan and repair the hearthstone installation and it works according to the breaking news
It just went live about 15 seconds ago. My computer is downloading it not.
CotW and Yogg still viable the rest is good dust.
160 dust is not "good dust" - it's a tiny snack.
Yeah, because its not like gold cards exist or something, everyone only owns regular ones.
My point was "the rest" consists of two commons and a bunch of un-dustable Basic cards. If you're counting on two commons for dust, I feel bad for you son.
Call of the Wild will still be played regardless of the mana cost change and players will still whine about it because of the huge tempo swing it brings... Did anyone tried figuring the % of chances that Yogg pulls out an effect that stops him already?
call of the retard must be 11 mana.
No early CDN datamining I guess. DId they stop putting them out early?
OMG YES SHAMAN NERF!
OH NO OTK WORGEN IS DEAD WHY BLIZZ THATS THE ONLY DECK I PLAY!
HELL YEA NO MORE ABUSIVE!
OH NO YOGG WHY BLIZZ WHY?!
That was my patch note reading experience.
Kinda happy, kinda sad about Call of the Wild nerf.... Happy when I'm playing against a hunter, sad when I'm playing hunter!
Just a quick question and because I probably missed them saying it or not, but will the nerf ed cards give full dust refund this time like it did with moltens? So if I dust yogg will I get 1600 back? Thanks to anyone that can answer ahead of time.
Yes they do, so dust all of them because it's most likely you will get them again, and even if you don't, you can craft them with the dust later.
All the Good news we were waiting for. .. Good balance ! Enjoy this patch :)
Shit, i opened a golden abusive seargent last day and i dusted immediatly, not thinking about the nerf...350 dust lost :(
soo tomorrow? finally!
Yogg is still viable..
Agreed
dust time.
