Official Patch Notes
Quote from BlizzardIn this Hearthstone update we are making balance changes to several cards.
Please read the Upcoming Balance Changes – Update 9.1 on the official Hearthstone site for full details regarding the reasons and philosophy behind these changes.
This patch is now live on desktop. It will become available on mobile devices in the coming hours.
Comps updated, apple devices updated, droid devices still nothing.
I got the update on my Android phone.
That chalkboard looks like a new boss brawl like Showdown At Blackrock and An Evil Exchange. Looks like Lady Naz'jar vs Professor Putricide. An interesting choice as we all wanted Lich King vs Malchezaar, but I'll take it. I love Putricide.
I could also imagine a nerf to it dealing one damage instead of two....
The sad thing with Priest is that Death Knight Anduin is already hardly playable in a non-highlander deck... with such a nerf it will be completely unplayable there.
+ 2200 dusts from those murlocs and plagues. At least one good thing from blizzard.
You may want to re-check your math there, at the most you will be getting 1000 Dust (800 for the Warleaders and 200 from Spreading plague)
He probably has more than 2 warleaders if I had to guess
One golden murloc is 1600 dusts, the second is 400 and 2 plagues are 200. So yes it's 2200 dusts.
Unless he didn't have multiple of that cards.
Should I dust Spreading Plague? I've got 3 copies of it and dust is important for me.
always dust nerfed cards. then try to play decks that dont need them, if later on you end up needing them you can easily recraft them at no loss.
Well, I'd like to try some Mill Warrior (Wild version) but I dunno if I should stay at Druid. I'd like to try something, but for now as cheapest as possbile. And no, I don't want to play Jade.
I'm not worried about Innervate. Remember when Ancient of Lore got nerfed and everyone was thinking it wouldn't be playable anymore? But we still see it... in... lots of...
Er...
Don't forget Keeper of the Grove. it still sees...play...in..
Oh...
And Force of Nature! Remember when they claimed it would still be usable? I think I saw one in constructed like 10 months ago.
Patch is live on EU aswell :) Enjoy!
Are the changes worldwide or NA only?
what happen if someone was already log on when they released the patch and didnt dowload the update? His cards stay as before until he doesnt log out or what?
