With the accidental patch release and its consequent rollback over the past weekend, we've been given an unexpected preview of some of the upcoming balance changes for Standard & Wild Hearthstone. But we couldn't learn everything until now - go find every single buff and nerf detailed within!
It seems like Wildheart Guff really did not want to get banned from Hearthstone Duels, with the previously announced hotfix patch having to stop deployment in its tracks for more than half a week. But now it has returned in full force, with all of the planned Arena adjustments also active!
Even more updates and alternative options for our comprehensive list of all current top decklists for Hearthstone's latest expansion - Murder at Castle Nathria. Most of these strong decks should hold their own even after upcoming balance changes, or at least act as a good starting point for us to build upon!
So there was a little bit of a kerfuffle today, when, instead of sending out the expected hotfix to deal with ongoing issues, Blizzard set the wrong patch to go live, and we got a brief glimpse of the future.
As our stay at Castle Nathria has extended into Week 2, the new expansion cards (and their impact on the metagame) feel a lot more familiar. For some classes, that's great news. For others, not so much. The next large deck compilation is here, and you can expect to see even more updates!
A small Hearthstone hotfix patch is on the way (server-side, no downloads necessary), but its initial deployment had to be paused. Once everything resumes, expect to see some balance changes for Duels and Arena, as well as a few bug fixes. More details and insights within!
Half a week later into the new Hearthstone expansion, we've become a little more familiarized with the interior design of Castle Nathria. How does it compare to the initial sights of Day 1? Let's take a closer look at the early Standard meta and see where all classes are at!
The short dust refund window for two new Hearthstone cards is coming to an end. If you've found any copies of Murloc Holmes and Sire Denathrius before picking up their Uncraftable versions from the Rewards Track for Castle Nathria, don't miss your options!
With Murder at Castle Nathria now released, it seems to us that this month and Hearthstone's ranked season can begin in earnest. No better time to look at August 2022's special card back, Celestial Starlight, along with all other events and offers for the rest of the summer!
24 hours later (and counting), we've got a better idea which post-launch expansion issues we're dealing with early for Murder at Castle Nathria. Hopefully it won't take long for the fixes to arrive! Everything of note is detailed within.
Murder at Castle Nathria has launched and we're tracking decks of Hearthstone's streamers and pro players. Don't forget to keep checking now and then, as we'll be updating the compilation throughout the day!
It's been one stubborn Hearthstone card bug - with Moonlit Guidance initially getting broken by the 1st hotfix patch, then becoming partially fixed with the 2nd, to only now see the full restoration arrive after the 3rd fix. That is, unless we hear otherwise again.
