Bug fixes
Quote from Blizzard
- Fixed an issue where Summoning Portal and Reckless Experimenter's effects were being applied at different timings than other similar cost modification effects.
- Fixed an issue where losing your internet connection while in the middle of editing a deck would sometimes not save the deck changes after you reconnected to the internet.
- Creating Zayle and Whizbang decks should now properly show the card's deck header art instead of the class art.
- [Mobile] Fixed an issue that could cause a blank page to appear if you changed regions while on the sign-in page.
- [Dalaran Heist] Spirit of the Tiger now summons tigers with correct attack and health values while fighting in the Underbelly.
- [Dalaran Heist] Cursed! cards from The Hand of Rafaam will now trigger their visual effects properly.
- [Dalaran Heist] Hero cards that are transformed by Golden Candle will no longer retain their hero power tooltip.
- [Dalaran Heist] Fixed an animation issue related to replaying minions affected by Bribery after they were destroyed.
Update:
Blizzard also announced a (partial) fix for the Psychic Scream bug via a Reddit comment:
Quote from BlizzardThis issue is actually resolved in this patch. Sorry it wasn't included in the patch notes!
Note that we were only able to get a partial fix in for this release, so you might see a little visual weirdness when this happens (but no more invisible cards). Expect that weirdness to be cleaned up with the Saviors of Uldum patch.

No, that would be too mature. I mean look what that mermaid is wearing. Or Esmeralda doing a pole dance. Scandalous^^
If they decided to remove blood and other types of gore, then what about the card [Cold Blood] since it has both a dude having killed two people, with blood smeared unto his blade, why didn't they then also remove this card and changed it to something else??????????????????????
So it was fine for over five years, but now suddenly a bit of blood and some cleavage is just too much? I wonder what will be next to get censored. No skin below the neck showing? Maybe no weapons or violence allowed in card art or names?
This is ridicolous. Just add an option in the game to hide "mature" stuff.
Oh btw. The moment I saw that short hair chick in new announcement my first think was about its something about sjw. She looked quite uncomfortable there, but whatever, new faces, I thought she might be another developer, so why not? Now I see the reason she was chosen. She might not be developer at all and seeing HS for the first time. No offense to her personally though, but it looks like typical sjw move
I remember that calling Hearthstone a ''childrens card game'' was a funny joke, but now its become a sad reality :(
Welcome to the world of femminism and politically correct...
I don't like that world .
Hope you know feminists want the right to show their nipples without getting censored (instagram etc.), to censor the embodiment of dominant female lust seems like something a feminist would be even more furious about then you.
The devs seemingly just dont want to anger the asian market, and would rather betray the wow lore.

blizzard is dead play other card games
Why do Blizzard do this?
https://youtu.be/RDrfE9I8_hs
Still no nerfs to Big Priest and no buff to Dr. Boom's Scheme makes me really ANGRY!
common Blizzard, another nerf for human bodyparts - Secretkeeper, Mistress of Pain, Succubus? NOT cool
it's like the 4kids team decided to aim for card games after going broke for ruining tv shows
God I'm so glad I stoped playing this game. Now it's full of sjw crap.
Chasing off people who use the term "sjw" is the biggest buff they could ever give to the game.
Hello Blizzard, I think u forgot something but, dont worry! I got this for you:
Well done Blizzard! Thats another nail hammered into the coffin of Hearthstone.
The only positive thing about this is that they toned down the gore along with the "scantly clad" women. Normally there would be just removing of anything even remotley hinting at sexuality.
But first changing harmless art of the Succubus(I would love to hear the reason for changing it and having new art for Windfury harpy for example that is not really different than the discarded art of Succubus) and than even renaming it is really stretching it too far.
And one last thing: Should i start counting the days until WoW changes the Succubus for Warlock into something not getting into trouble for being "offensive"? I mean 12 years old can see it standing around and saying and doing suggestive stuff^^
Wow, the only good thing in Headcrack was the art. I liked it a lot for some reason. I even tried to make deck around it from time to time purely because I liked the art lul. And they chose the ugliest art to replace it. I mean no offense, they probably was placed into condition like "Make ugly and childish art. You have 1 day" or something. Or maybe its some sort of "fuck you" from artist.
Anyway its pure cancerous censure and it suck. Im disappointed in you Blizz. Very disappointed. Its not like its something blizzard never done before, we all remember Jaina. But people was mad when it happens and you did it 8 more arts. So you dont really care, right?
And direction of changes is quite clear now. Violence and beautiful female body should are banned now. I guess there some feminists made their way to blizzards high management. But you know how it ends usually. RIP HS, I guess its only question of time when instead of dying minions will go to sleep, all strongest characters will be females in hijab and next EVIL league will contain only males.
Its nice we dont really have plague as disease in 2019. But we have it in another way. Only this one hits not humans, but art, which HS is part of
