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.

In the weeks after The Witchwood, the Hearthstone team has been avidly reading your feedback and monitoring data at all levels of play. 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.

I don't think so. When you make some comparasion, Guldan is much more value than the other DK not only on the Battlecry (it cost 10, so it's reasonable) but also on HP. Raw comparison, Guldan HP is 2x better than Malfurion. You deal 3dmg AND gain 3 health which Guldan while having to choose one with Malfurion. You can say that gaining armor is better than restoring health, but dealing dmg bypass taunt is also better than gaining 3 attack.
I don't like this approach. Legend level data gives more precise results about the strenght of the cards.
I will personally miss the old days of Spiteful. Hopefully there are more days to come with the card.
Blizzard left themselves with no choice, old friend. You were too broken and I'll admit that. But then again, blame the fact that there are too little 10 drops in standard.
Post OG, no 10 cost minions are playable by themselves, so it;s a bit of an issue. They're just there as a massive stat pool. If there was a risk of a 'bad' 10 cost minion, that would be a better nerf.
iE when OG was there, you had the risk of a 6/6 with Cthun, or a 5/7 with N'zoth.
I like and play with several of these cards, but for the good of the meta... LET THERE BE NERFS!!!!
Balanced meta-game coming? Put your faith in nerfhammer!
They will make lacky 6 mana, and dark pact 2 mana or something like that, and Spiteful will be like 7/8 mana. They will make baku pally a 2/2 instead of a two 1/1's
What if Tyrantus's text was "Battlecry: gains "Can't be targeted by Spells or Hero Powers"
Funny, but on turn 6 there is ALSO a 3/9 taunt voidlord with 3 1/3 taunt voidwalkers coming after him.
Pretty much the same for me.
Meh, then it'll just be a Deathwing. Still very powerful.
If only hearthstone had another tournament server...
I hope they fix Dark Pact
