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.
So long old friends. It was a good four years.
Would have been better if you got rid of that jade garbage but this might be fine.
I've called for a nerf for Hex before. Hex wasn't always as weak as it is now. In some past metas it was arguably broken.
Battle.net showed prompt "Hearthstone now playable". Press X to doubt xd
RIP Innervate. :P
I swear if my first match is a jade druid
Well, it's here to stay...
Until next standard rotation, at least.
No Jade cards were nerfed. Plus, people will still play the same lists to see how the changes feel.
