Originally announced a couple of weeks ago, buffs are arriving to Hearthstone on June 3! 18 cards from The Boomsday Project are receiving changes that will make them more competitive and give us a nice meta twist.
Each of Hearthstone's 9 classes are receiving 2 card buffs. In addition to these buffs, a brand new Mechanical legendary is being added to the game and will be given out to all players for free! That legendary is SN1P-SN4P but fear not for one broken combo with Reckless Experimenter is also going to be nerfed. Check out the new mechanical legendary below beside the new card for Reckless Experimenter.
The patch should arrive sometime around 1 PM Eastern on June 3. That's 10 AM Pacific for the NA west coast and 7 PM CEST for the Europeans.
Here are all the card buffs you can look forward to this week.

RegisKillbin Reviews the Buffs
Our pal Regis reviewed the upcoming card changes the day the buffs were announced.

A card that was only ever really played in Mecha'thun priest pre RoS. Not that much of a big deal in standard. Which decks did you see it in that are now nerfed?
excited for this! I really hope it will be a success and something that happens at least once between new card sets.
Seriously looking forward to 5 mana Pocket Galaxy, I got that golden from the preorder back in the day, so I hope it will atleast be playable!
Also been playing a bit of heal druid and the gloop sprayer at 7 will help for sure.
Looking forward to the changes. Just hope the changes to mechs don’t make dr boom to powerful.
New meta incoming POG
Meta will change again?
Brilliant=) The game stops being boring
Is there also the new arena rotation on the day of buffs or is that a different time?
There will be a new Arena set today, featuring:
I think it's today as well, so keep an arena run at 2 losses to get maximum value from it when the rotation lands.
Thx for the reminder!
This
The meta shall be shooken. Or is it shakened? Shook?
Shit, this is going to change the meta... positively.
Shakeneded
When you are so happy ypu forget how to talk hahaha
Crystology was already good so it will be straight-up bonkers. Unexpected Results looks like it could be really good tempo. Extra Arms is a direct upgrade to Blessing of Kings, so it will be run in most non-combat priest decks. Thunderhead is a 3/6 elemental for 4 with a big upside, so I'm sure it will find a home, maybe in wild. I don't see any others seeing play.
Thunderhead was already being played in some variations of both Murloc and Control shaman, and was a very good card in both. It's gonna be played more for sure, especially now that it will survive 5x Warpath.
I might craft me a second Thunderhead just because I like the idea of a T4 tempo swing with Zap! and a Likkim.
Gloop sprayer might if Heal Druid becomes a real thing. Since it can now be played with the 3 mana healing spell aswell.
not to mention it now lines up better with Psychmelon
Exciting!
