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 Blizzard

This 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.
