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.

Yeah the Tarim part doesn't make sense but I suppose they mean if you have Stormwind Champion, your minions will stay at 2/2 after shrink ray and at 2 health after equality.
They're too busy removing "offensive" artwork to remember which card does which
They mean Sunkeeper Tarim's stat change works as intended with Stormwind Champion's board buff and now Shrink Ray and Equality do as well.
If ya'll can't understand why a card whose graphic design is essentially BDSM joke might be of questionable appropriateness in a game marketed to young teenagers, you've got deeper issues than living in fear that "the feminists" are coming to take way your hypersexualized comic book fantasies.
You are right, but to be honest it is hard for me to make so deep connection between BDSM and this cards. Actually it is amazing that this is making such big news... How at all someone see that much sexuality in them at all. And we are talking that our problems are in cards arts. I think that maybe we should stop put in everything some sexual context. And just see how much protectors we can found about naked tits in hearthstone... like this is the most important part of the game. Leave womans tits to live their live.
Yeah it's totally horrible if young teens get to see a scantily clad demon and a harpy in a sexually suggestive pose in a card game but It's totally okay to make TV shows of teenagers who're going through a sex change or a 10 year old kid who dresses in women's clothings and goes to strip at gay bars. The Liberal agenda would never want to harm the minds of the youth, no way
It's only a problem if you are prude. Why are young Teenagers not allowed to have BDSM fantasies lol
So did we get full dust refund for the hall of fameed cards as usual?
I don't remember exactly how much dust I had, but i do have both cards 2x normal and golden. By normal hall of fame rules thats 4x400 dust for four golden comons, if that was the case I think I should have more dust than I have now, but to be honest I don't really remember having them golden... Did Blizz did something weird or is it just me not remembering? Does any one know for sure?
BTW not sure why the new standard cards and the two hall of fameed are not mentioned in the post?
The 2 cards that were HoF'd were originally Basic rarity, which have never been able to be crafted/DE'd. they BECAME common when they were HoF'd so newer players can still aquire them. you were given the new basic cards (Radiance and Plaguebringer) while keeping the old ones.
You don't get the dust for 2 reasons:
1. The cards just became commons
2. They got replaced with new basic cards (so you pretty much didn't lose anything)
Ok that makes sense. I opened my collection and saw a white gem on the cards so assumed they were common before. Don't know why my post had to be immediately downvoted tho. I was clearly confused and missing some piece of information so i asked. Not like I was an angry whiner yelling "blizzard gieff free stuff!!!" but I guess haters gonna hate...
i think it's a boiling point for me at least. Dont play this game as often as before and many my friends, mates quited this game and now it's time for me. maybe sometimes I will play this but no any material support for current state of game. Have enough cards and big standard/wild collection. So i wish other ppl do the same. If developers split on me i will do the same only on them. I like collect cards , love art, animations and other stuff. what's point to support unstable product. i dont see any sense.
@EmoGit Firstly, my little friend, i didn't insult u like u did. Secondly i know how censorship works. Thirdly, many a little makes a mickle - inch from me inch from another - i think u have to get it by your tiny brain. Fourthly for blizzard/activison/team5 there are not good times like before if they sell all expansions with new skin and some other stuff and know why bc the game is 5 years old and many ppl have enough resources (dust / gold / cards to dust) without buying/donating. And fifthly i didn't say anything about FEMALE cards in my post i don't like all new bad art with this update. Today there are female and blood, tomorrow weapons and sounds of death. I dont like when somebody mess with my collection. Btw i don't imagine how lock can exist without succubus and rogue without vanish i tell u this like old fan of old blizzard. And i just said i quit this game and recommend do the same others nothing special no rage just truth.
Wow, so much outrage over the changes to Succubus and Mistress of Pain. Imagine what would happen if they changed the art on cards people ACTUALLY used?
Or heroes like Jaina. ...Oh wait!
I for one love the changes. Not a fan of violence and never really associated this game with nudity. Glad Blizz is keeping it that way. Great work!
"Not a fan of violence and never really associated this game with nudity."
Has Sylvanas avatar. K.
Where exactly are the violence and nudity in this picture? Can't your prepubescent mind differentiate an exposed belly from a naked woman? Lmao.
and there would be nudity in the game? I never associated this game with that because there were never any. And imagine the outcry if there were any^^
Using the "logic" behind the changes Sylvanas should be next in line for an art change.
Eviscrate looks the same for me...
Lost the blood
