Hotfix rolling out across the regions now. Includes bug fixes and some balance changes to a few modes, including a pre-emptive balance change for that ONE deck that some of us saw during Theorycrafting. https://t.co/DGkV2rXgDW

      S/o to @JambreHS for telling his chat not to worry about the deck because it was getting nerfed.

      One of the modes getting a few adjustments is BGs, @Slysssa

      @hsdecktech Nicholas, do you have any words on whether Kael'Thas is being looked at when it comes to wild? That card is ridiculously strong and enables turn 3/4 or even turn 2 lethals, thus enabling negative play patterns. Thank you.

        @DanielTheBigBu1 I do not, sorry. That would be a question for the dev side.

      @hsdecktech Nothing for A Sunken Recipe Fireside brawl not working properly in this one yet? It still has the decks from the last expansion.

        @Old_GuardianHS The team is aware and working on that, but this hotfix was already in flight when that issue appeared.

      @hsdecktech What's even the exploit deck

        @draassz The spell pool was small enough after rotation that you could guarantee that she'd find Shadowstep. So you could find her, Brann, and a damage source and do infinite damage.

      @hsdecktech Thanks but when can we play Mi’da bounty without risk of getting locked out?

        @irishoutsider That was a hotfix or two ago. It's safe now.

      @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat Importer is one of my favorite cards and I’m super sad it’s what is getting nerfed as a result of this.

        @bmkibler @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat Think the team agrees. This is an unfortunate interaction that we wanted to fix before launch, which meant we had to nerf an otherwise totally fine card. Once there are enough spells in Rogue where you aren’t guaranteed a shadowstep, I think it’s highly likely the nerfs reverted.

          @GallonHS @bmkibler @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat quick question, it doesn,t seem like the text has changed at all right? its just a 1 mana nerf?

            Posted 3 years, 10 months ago (Source)
            @roberg145 @GallonHS @bmkibler @RidiculousHat And a stats buff to partially make up for the mana change, but you are correct that the text hasn’t changed.

          @GallonHS @bmkibler @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat Another suggestion I saw proposed by Cheese10 was to make Pandaren Importer check for spells CURRENTLY in your deck.

            @ToastieNL @GallonHS @bmkibler @RidiculousHat It was important to the team to move on this quickly, before the set went live. That limited the options--updating functionality under the hood requires code changes, updating card text and functionality requires code changes *and* localization.

              @hsdecktech @ToastieNL @GallonHS @bmkibler @RidiculousHat How doable was increasing the cost of shadowstep instead?

                @Jkirek_ @ToastieNL @GallonHS @bmkibler @RidiculousHat I wasn’t in those talks, but I would expect it was one of the options considered. But the Core Set was built with the entire year in mind, whereas importer was a fringe playable card, so I’m not surprised it didn’t win out.

      Just putting this here also, since a few people have asked now: https://t.co/lGLpvbjAVx
