One of Hearthstone's developers has provided an explanation of the changes

Quote from Leo Robles

Let's address the mecha-elephant in the room: Why did we change so many minions into Mech/Beasts in the latest patch? In 25.0, we added dual-type minions and adjusted several minions in Standard and Wild to fit the new dual-type world.

At the time, we did not make cards like Spider Bomb or Ursatron Mech/Beast and kept them as just Mechs. After all, they're Mechs made in the image of Beasts, not "real" Beasts. BUT, we DID make cards like Lightray or Arcanosaur Elemental/Beast.

Thing is, Lightray and Arcanosaur aren't "real" Beasts either. They're just Elementals that take the shape of Beasts. Because of this, we re-evaluated how we wanted to treat cards like Ursatron to be consistent with our new dual-type ruling on cards like Lightray.

With dual-type minions being a brand new thing, we want to be as consistent as we can with the rules around it. We do see that some changes are having bigger effects on decks than others and will keep a watchful eye out for minion dual-type synergies in future sets.

Other changes

In this part, you can see all the changes that were made to any cards, skins, heroes, etc, but aren't gameplay oriented...

Death Knight card border changes

In this patch Death Knight has also received a small visual correction to its weapon and minion cards because it was previously reusing the same style as the Warrior class.

This was pointed out a while ago, and 2 months after the expansion release we can finally see it fixed.

Quote from Celestalon

Question: Is the Death Knight class gonna get their own card borders? It's a recolored Warrior.

Celestalon: Yes, soon after launch!

New feature - Expanded audio settings

In this patch we also got more options to adjust our audio settings that can be used to for example separately mute all the dialogues (emote sounds), music, ambient noise (mumbling in the main menu), or sound effects (when you click on buttons) or just adjust their volume to your liking...

New feature - Replayable Hearthstone tutorial

If you'd like to replay the Hearthstone tutorial for some reason (to show it to your friends or just for fun), you might do so with this new feature introduced in this patch.

Previously "leaked" coins coming soon?

It appears that in this patch, files needed for the golden coin animations got added, which might indicate that the official release of these coins is on the horizon, potentially in the upcoming patch.

The previously mentioned coins we're talking about:

This is a response from one of Hearthstone's developers regarding the early release of these coins

Quote from Celestalon

Hey, glad to see the excitement for these coins! Unfortunately, there's been a bit of a mistake, and they were accidentally made visible in the Collection Manager too soon. Sorry about that!

We are working on them, but haven't finished building them yet, and they're not actually attainable in-game yet (despite what their description text says). We're looking into hiding them in the meantime and will re-add them in a future patch when they're ready.

A new currently unavailable Diamond Legendary card - Zephrys the Great

Although Zephrys the Great's Diamond version was added in this patch, it has not been made available yet. However, we can still enjoy the card's impressive animation in the meantime.

An unannounced change has been made to Skulking Geist's effect, altering its functionality

Right now, after the change, Skulking Geist looks at the current cost of spells, not at their base cost, which means that if you play for example Celestial Alignment, Skulking Geist will destroy all your (1)-Mana spells unless you make them cost more or less with for example Lady Anacondra. This also means that people can now play around Skulking Geist a little bit more if they for example play Palm Reading or Siphon Mana. Do you think this is a nerf, buff, or neutral change?

Quote from Leo Robles

Since the creation of this card we've had a looot more effects that adjust Cost in hand and/or deck, and this card is a standout inconsistency in the interactions with a card's definitional cost vs their current cost. It's an adjustment of an older card to match modern interactions. The confusion caused by Skulking Geist is evidenced by what seemed like once-a-month posts online being like "wait why did Skulking Geist destroy this card" or "why DIDN'T Skulking Geist destroy this card". this change helps uphold the "what you see is what you get" tenet we have in HS.

A new small collection improvement

With this patch, another small new collection improvement has been added. If you don't have enough dust to craft a card or upgrade it, you're now able to see how much dust is required for it. Before this patch, you could see nothing at all.

That's it for this patch, the question now is, would you like to see more of this type of content for patches in the future? Please let us know in the comment section.
