Strongly hinted at it, so want to get this out there. We had originally planned on doing a small balance patch this week, but we ran into some issues affecting our timeline. 20.0 is our largest patch to date (Barrens, Core, Classic) and want to make sure it's a smooth launch. 1/2

That balance change will go into the 20.0 patch later this month. Overall, we're fairly happy with the current meta but saw an opportunity to shore up some gameplay feelings related to burst damage. Looking forward to MT Ironforge, best of luck to everyone participating! 2/2

@GW_Alec Will this patch also be featuring wild unnerfs?

@GW_Alec @Minnesotaduke Will the wild unnerfs also impact standard ?

Posted 5 years, 1 month ago (Source)

@JaredPullet @Minnesotaduke We already announced the main reverts (full or partial) that impact standard (ex/ BGH). For the rest, all of those cards will be in Wild but one does affect a card in standard.

@Impact_onfire @JaredPullet @Minnesotaduke It’s more of an indirect change to a standard card since we’re changing a soon to be wild card, so we’re reconfiguring it. I’ll let y’all figure it out haha

@GW_Alec @Impact_onfire @Minnesotaduke I summon the brightest hearthstone lore minds to get in here: @ben_heathstone , and well, @RidiculousHat is already here so o don’t know who else to call 🤷🏼‍♂️ i suppose @D0nkeyHS too!

@GW_Alec @Impact_onfire @Minnesotaduke @ben_heathstone @RidiculousHat @D0nkeyHS So far I am reckoning that it is a card that was somehow affected by a nerf that will be reverted... hmmm... I trust we will figure this out

@JaredPullet @GW_Alec @Impact_onfire @Minnesotaduke @ben_heathstone @RidiculousHat That seems like it would be a direct change 🤷

@JaredPullet @GW_Alec @Impact_onfire @Minnesotaduke @ben_heathstone @RidiculousHat @ZachODR Wyrm Weaver is getting ever so slightly buffed because Mana Wyrms will cost 1 so they are cheaper if they get bounced back to your hand?
