Very daring balance patch, with some big changes to Leona and Daybreak cards as well as Swain and Leviathan. The big buffs are to Iula, Swain, Sun Guardian and Sunburst. The nerfs are fine, but they have a Nami-sized hole in them.

To be honest though, I'm not excited for this patch. What I love to play in LoR is Freljord midrange, and small buffs to Mammoth Rager and Ornn are not enough to get them out of the gutter.

So in my last game the Druid played two Dew Process. Somehow he was drawing 3 cards every turn, but I was drawing 5 which was milling me, and made things awkward. I can't think of what interaction would have caused this, and I don't think I missed anything. Is this a bug anyone else has encountered?

Good... It is better to keep them in case of nerfs anyway

Yes, and I've updated all sections accordingly. 

As far as updates go:

Mercs packs have been re-enabled a little while ago, with compensation scheduled for the affected players. More details in our dedicated article on these issues.

Ouch. That's very unfortunate. Updated the desktop/mobile section with Blizzard statement regarding Amazon's delay (seems to be on them, not Hearthstone team). 

It might be accidental residue of their preparations for the excess coin solutions (and then being able to improve our Mercs beyond what's currently available). Perhaps some elements getting already enabled when they shouldn't be. 

It's not just the maxed merc stats buff that's missing, the entire concept of "maxed" seems to be gone: it doesn't say "maxed" in the collection anymore and if you finish the last available update, there is no animation saying that the merc has been maxed out.

nathanos is 10/10 but motion denied makes me want to break my own legs and roll down a hill

Theotar not working sometimes sound like a perk, rather than a bug /s

I'm going to guess that this mobile bug was a phone UI bug, and doesn't apply to tablets which use basically the same UI as on PC. I'm also going to guess that nothing has improved with the game crashing all the fucking time on my iPad.

This is easily the longest Amazon App store has taken to allow an update.  I deleted and loaded the Google Play version. 

tbf this is just a mini-set and I would assume a lot of people skip it or doesnt bother rigth away on day 1 so I can kinda understand it

but when it happens during the full set release it's annoying af

Hah, talk about taking some creative license with the lore (even for Hearthstone). It's only on another continent, after all. 

This balance patches exceeded my expectation.

When you try to disenchant extra cards, the 'are you sure' dialog pops up even if you have more than enough copies of the card that can be included in a deck. That's a new one.

Seems like most of the new bounties for old areas (aswell as a couple for Darkmoon) are Karazhan themed. I guess that means that they scraped that zone in development. Especially because the next Story Questline is about Khadgar going to Karazhan (which apparently is located in felwood right now, lol).

I’ve played 8 games and have seen a grand total of 0 new cards…some people are the worst. One same old Hunter with endless Mountain Bears after another. Ahh finally a Rogue - gets Mountain Bear off Reconnaissance. 

Guess I jumped the gun and posted without reading the article 😓

Apparently not yet (I've also added a small line update re: Amazon storefront some minutes ago). Will update again once we hear something! 

Not just "some error", it's all covered in the Mercs section. 

Merc Packs got disabled until they fix the bug where you can't open Garona.

I tested Nath with rat king and it doesn't give you a dormant copy on board, only copies the rattle and gives a copy to hand. 

I've not been able to test further, but I'm trying with the ram that reduces the cost of beasts added to my deck (pretty standard big beast deck) 

I took out batty guest as not to dilute the pool too much. 

Would like to test out more death rattles, but just wanting to try and slot into something existing and then test out a new card once I've tried the previous one. The rams are great so far as just early game cards, as especially if you can land ramming mount on it as well. 

I'm not really sure the gameplan yet with this card, but I imagine you could get a decent discount on something if you copy it with Nath. You could have minus 6 on a big beast to play. 

TBH the big payoff is probably to create more of the sunken saber tokens, or to use defensively with the bear though. And although you don't get the dormant Rat King on board as well, I think copying ratking would be a good move if you're ahead (I was just about to be beaten by an Implock though, so couldn't test any further than just playing Nath that turn)

Also worth noting you don't get the rush from Rat King, but I guess you guys probably already worked that out, rush is never part of a death rattle, that would just be stupid, ha ha.

And the first bugs come in with some error preventing me from opening merc packs 🤣🤣🤣

Like c'mon blizzard, this is actually hilarious

seems amazon appstore is the only one lagging behind for mobile clients

anyone managed to update HS on there yet?
