Patch 17.2 - New Heroes & Card for Battlegrounds, Deck Rearranging Feature
Blizzard has just released patch 17.2 for computer users to download, Android and IOS will follow later.
Some not so important things haven't been covered by Blizzard in their patch post yesterday, so here they are:
- Nemsy Necrofizzle is now available for free in the in-game shop between May 12 – 19, she's a Warlock's alternative Hero skin.
- New June 2020 Card Back has been added - Mystic Forest.
Here you can see all the details provided by Blizzard yesterday:
Quote from BlizzardThe 17.2 patch includes three new Heroes and a new minion for Battlegrounds. We’ve also added the ability to rearrange your decks, a new visual aid for end of Season rewards, and more!
As a note, we’ve restructured assets in 17.2 so the data download for this patch will be similar to a fresh install. Pardon our dust!
Battlegrounds Updates
- Dire Wolf Alpha has been removed from the minion pool.
NEW MINION
Rabid Saurolisk
- [Tier 1, Beast] 3 Attack, 1 Health.
After you play a minion with Deathrattle, gain +1/+1.
NEW HEROES
Players with Battlegrounds perks will have immediate access to playtest these three new heroes before they are fully unlocked on May 26.
Lady Vashj
- Evolving Electricity [Passive]: After you upgrade Bob’s Tavern, replace his minions with ones of a higher Tier.
Maiev Shadowsong
- Imprison [Cost 1]: Make a minion in Bob’s Tavern Dormant. After 2 turns, get it with +1/+1.
Kael’thas Sunstrider
- Verdant Spheres [Passive]: Every third minion you buy gains +2/+2.
Deck Ordering
You can now reorder your deck lists! While viewing your deck list in the Collection Manager, press and hold a deck button to enter “rearranging” mode. Once you’re in rearranging mode, just click and drag on your decks to order them! Deck rearranging will not work until all nine starting heroes (excluding Demon Hunter) are unlocked.
Zephrys the Great Improvements
- Fixed a bug where Zephrys the Great would miss lethal when there was an enemy Taunt minion with Lifesteal that you could attack into.
- Fixed a bug where Zephrys the Great would prefer not to transform/Silence certain high-stat Deathrattle minions (such as Waxadred).
- Fixed a bug where Zephrys the Great could miss lethal using Unleash the Hounds.
- Fixed a bug where Zephrys the Great would not offer Silence options for minions with the “Can’t Attack Heroes” effect.
- Zephrys the Great is now slightly less likely to offer single-target removal for next turn.
- Zephrys the Great will no longer offer Natalie Seline for next turn.
- Zephrys the Great may now offer Polymorph instead of Hex in a few cases where it would be better for your opponent to have a 1/1 than a 0/1 with Taunt.
- Swipe will now fill the AoE category (instead of single target damage) if Zephrys the Great expects it to be used against the enemy hero.
- Improved how Zephrys the Great evaluates enemy minions that have low base stats for their cost, but are buffed.
Game Improvements and Bug Fixes
- End of Season rewards.
- Your total rewards accumulated within the current Ranked season are now highlighted in green inside your Rewards Chest, which can be found at the top of the Quest Log.
- Collection Manager filter panel (mobile).
- The filter panel will now remain open after using Search.
- The filter panel will now hide once cards are dragged to a deck and will reappear after they’ve been added.
- The filter panel will no longer be dismissed until the “Done” button has been pressed.
- Card text for Teron Gorefiend has been updated to be more technically accurate: “Destroy all other friendly minions. Deathrattle: Resummon them with +1/+1.”
that.. must be new.. cause when i search it it was.. just soon lol :D which isnt telling anything.. so thanks.. for the info.. and the minus points lol :DD
Noooooo, I was almost the only one with nemsy! Now its everyone
Super stoked for Nemsy, especially considering I live in a sleepy little mountain town with no gaming community for me to have a Fireside Gathering.
I appreciate the things Blizzard does 89 percent of the time.
Blizzard how about you give us Medivh or Khadgar for free? Do they really think we are so stupid? They made an already free hero free again but easier to get. It was free before, u just had to take it from ur mobile phone. Wow, thx blizzard, u basically gave me free space on my phone since i dont need to install HS for Nemsy anymore. :)))
You realize that people paid for Medivh, and Khadgar was not so long ago also purchasable?
So ? Who gives a fuck ? Tyrande was purchasable and yet they still gave it for free some time later. Ur argument has no relevance.
Greedy little goblin you are
IMO Zeph should also be able to find Living Dragonbreath since it can unfreeze your minions immediately (it's like a hidden battlecry ;d).
I don't think this change will ever be a thing considering he only gives you cards from the original set of cards.
You're obviously right, that was just an unlikely idea :).
I agreed with the guy who pointed out my wrong idea, so why I got downvoted? Are the people here really so childish?
.
Anyone else not able to re-roll quests on this patch?
My guess is that they've added the PvE content in this patch and that's why the size is so big. They did this in the past, so I think that's the case this time as well. It's much better than them adding everything the day the adventure is launching, because the servers wouldn't last 😅

yep
They've also said in the announcement that they rearranged all the assets so they have to be downloaded again
Bah, updated my Android and it seems to be stuck on the loading screen :(
Got my first 1st place win in BG after a long break (7000 rating) and I was surprised at how well Rabid Saurolisk did. I got 2 of them rather early, got him golden and he stayed with me till the last match where he ended up being my biggest minion.
I just want another chance to buy sylvanas. I missed her the first time
Just wait a few years..
