Bug Fixes and Game Improvements

Hearthstone

• Fixed an issue where certain minions with conditional Battlecries could not be played when there was no valid target.

• Fixed an issue where Riff cards did not replay the effect of the previously played Riff when their Finale effect was triggered. (eg. Verse Riff)

• Fixed an issue where The Galactic Projection Orb used the modified cost of spells instead of their original cost when determining which spells to recast.

• Fixed an issue in Book of Faelin where playing a Dredge card after resetting certain puzzles could cause the game to end in a tie.

• Fixed an issue where an in-game message could appear in English when playing in Korean.

Battlegrounds

• Fixed an issue where Drustfallen Butcher’s Avenge effect triggered after only 3 friendly minions died instead of 4.

• Fixed an issue where Writhing Tentacles could stop doubling a minion’s Health after repeatedly discarding the same minion.

• Fixed an issue where the Efficiency Dark Gift could be offered to certain Activate minions whose effects would not trigger twice.

• Fixed an issue where using Makeshift Master on a Deity could cause the game to crash. Makeshift Master’s Spellcraft can no longer be used on Deities.
