Hearthstone Card Balance Changes to Come After the HCT Playoffs
Blizzard has announced that a balance change patch will hit after the HCT Summer Playoffs conclude. The playoffs are finished at the end of May, so we don't have too much longer to go!
No specific changes have been announced, though Iksar has mentioned some problematic cards.

We agree with your concerns, and we’re planning some balance changes after the HCT Playoffs are finished at the end of May. We’re not quite ready to share the details, but we’ll provide an update once the specifics are finalized.

Thank you for your feedback, patience, and your support.

Make it remove the spell card from the deck.
I'm afraid we're going to see an overcompensation here that will render several cards unplayable just to allow a few different classes to rule the meta. I'm not feeling very optimistic after seeing that list of cards they're looking at.
More like top 0.001%
Well at least the game might be watchable after the summer HTC. Right now though it's essentially the same class lineups from 85% of the field while 15% try to be cute and lose badly in the end to the 800 lb gorilla sitting in the corner.
I think nerfs to several cards are necessary but I hope they don't make them unplayable.
not playing as cube/control lock.
the meta is fine, i guess.
can't wait to see the changes time to open some knc packs
RIP cubelock, summoner decks and paladin decks december 2017-june 2018
Great, now fix arena!
They should nerf Cube if they want to nerf Cubelock, Gul'dan hero card is really fine, when we had simply Control Warlock in Frozen Throne its was fine, the problem begun with Cubes (again, not with Doomgards, Pacts ot whatever - Cube is essential od this deck) Blizz please dont touch Warlock, he was so bad long time :/
Why not limit guldan to summon max. one of each demons?
That seems good to me.
Another month...sigh. Well, at least there's something to look forward to.
If we're now looking forward to nerfs, then that should really tell you about the current state of the game. :/
Let's hope that with the addition of tournament mode and brawls where you use cards from specific sets and in unnerfed state, they create a way where they can patch the game without interfering with tournament/championship play.
