Hearthstone Battlegrounds is getting a fresh set of balance changes in Patch 27.4.2 which brings in a variety of different changes including buffs, nerfs, and pool adjustments.
Quote From Blizzard Anomaly System Update
Each week’s new Anomalies will now have a slightly smaller appearance bonus in higher-rated lobbies (they will still have an appearance bonus for the first week they are added compared to all the other Anomalies, but not as large of one). Lower-rated lobbies will still have the same offering bonus as before.
