Patch 29.0.3, launching as we speak, consists of the next steadiness adjustments to Commonplace and Battlegrounds.
Hearthstone Updates
Dev Remark: We hope you’re having fun with Whizbang’s Workshop thus far! We’ve seen you experimenting with a number of new playing cards and archetypes throughout most courses—and discovering a number of outliers. This patch is generally to weaken these outliers and to supply a pair higher-confidence buffs primarily based on early knowledge.
The next playing cards have been adjusted to be weaker:
Tigress Plushy

- New: [4 Mana]
Deputization Aura
- Outdated: Your left-most minion has +3 Assault and Lifesteal. Lasts 3 turns.

Shroomscavate

Dev Remark: Paladin is the most important energy outlier since launch, with a number of harm from hand and therapeutic. We like the general play sample of the deck, however we’re making these changes to tone down these two overperforming facets of it.
Awakening Tremors
- Outdated: Get three 4/1 Worms. They price (1).
- New: Get three 3/1 Worms. They price (1).
Dev Remark: Hunter is one other class that has overperformed within the early meta. Awakening Tremors is a card that has been performed in virtually all Hunter decks for a while now, and which might make for some actually early snowballs. Shaving a bit energy from it ought to assist hold different decks from falling too far behind as early as turns 1-2.
Thrall’s Reward
- Outdated: Uncover a short lived Lightning Bolt, Hex, or Bloodlust.
- New: Uncover a short lived Lightning Storm, Hex, or Bloodlust.
Dev Remark: Nature Shaman is primarily a sentiment outlier, with entry to a whole lot of harm very early within the recreation. Nonetheless, it’s additionally anticipated to get a greater matchup unfold after the opposite adjustments being made on this patch. This transformation removes a few of that burst harm and redundancy within the deck. We expect Lightning Storm is one other good and flavorful possibility for Thrall’s Reward, weakening this particular deck, however providing choices to different Shaman decks that weren’t there earlier than.
Aftershocks
- Outdated: [4 Mana]
- New: [5 Mana]
Odyn, Prime Designate
- Outdated: [8 Mana]
- New: [9 Mana]
Dev Remark: Warrior is one other class that’s trying very robust within the early meta, and which is prone to get even stronger after the opposite adjustments on this patch. Aftershocks mixed with Acolyte of Ache to let Warrior draw too rapidly by way of its deck for its highly effective late-game playing cards. We’re making these adjustments to make that endgame a bit slower and fewer constant.
Zilliax Deluxe 3000 (Ticking Module)
- Outdated: [4 Mana]
- New: [5 Mana]
Dev Remark: The reception to Zilliax Deluxe 3000 has been nearly… perfection. We love all of the totally different variations individuals are attempting, however Ticking Module was proving to be a bit too environment friendly. We hope this variation will convey this Zilliax extra into line with total energy degree and in addition encourage extra continued Zilliax selection.
The above craftable playing cards can be eligible for a full mud refund for 2 weeks following Patch 29.0.3.
The next playing cards have been adjusted to be stronger:
Dev Remark: We don’t normally make buffs this early in a meta, however this time we have been in a position to see a pair buff targets even within the very early knowledge. We’ll regulate these adjustments and look out for extra alternatives in our subsequent steadiness window, after we’ll have extra knowledge to tell a majority of these adjustments.
