Hearthstone Dev Tracker

This patch, coming when you least expect it, includes updates to Standard, Wild, Battlegrounds, and more!

Hearthstone Updates

General Updates

• Cards in your deck will now be in a random order. We’d get more into the specifics about this change, but we’re not sure that’s a rabbit hole worth exploring.
• Before queueing for a match, you’ll now select whether you want to go first or second, and then get paired with a player who has made the opposite selection.
• You’re not imagining it: the toys in Whizbang’s Workshop do move when you’re not looking.
• You can now pet the dog in Hearthstone.

Card Updates

Shadowstep

• Dev Comment: For player sentiment reasons, Shadowstep has been removed from Core. A new card, called Step, will be added into Core in its place.

Patch 29.0.3, launching today, includes the following balance changes to Standard and Battlegrounds.

Hearthstone Updates

Dev Comment: We hope you’re enjoying Whizbang’s Workshop so far! We’ve seen you experimenting with lots of new cards and archetypes across most classes—and finding a few outliers. This patch is mostly to weaken those outliers and to offer a couple higher-confidence buffs based on early data.

The following cards have been adjusted to be weaker:

Tigress Plushy

• Old: [3 Mana]
• New: [4 Mana]

Deputization Aura

• Old: Your left-most minion has +3 Attack and Lifesteal. Lasts 3 turns.
• New: Your left-most minion has +1 Attack and Lifesteal. Lasts 3 turns.
