Patch Notes

Patch 32.0.3 brings balance changes to Hearthstone and Battlegrounds, and more!

Hearthstone Updates

Dev Comment: These changes are a continuation of the changes we made in Patch 32.0 to remove unfun play patterns and give Into the Emerald Dream the best chance to shine. Many of these changes are to cards and strategies that are bad experiences to play against even if they're not overly powerful. We're also adjusting a few early power outliers—including buffs! We don't normally do balance changes this early after an expansion, but we thought making a few changes now would best align our goals for the set with our patch schedule.

Battlegrounds Updates

Dev Comment: This is expected to be our last major balance adjustment to Battlegrounds before the next season. We're overall happy with how Anomalies were received this season, and most of our adjustments to them this patch are focused on removing a few pain points with specific Anomalies. On the minion side, our aim this patch is to lower the power of Demons and Naga and buff Dragons and Mechs. We also decided to remove Captain Bonerender from the minion pool early, for sentiment reasons. Keep an eye out, we'll be sharing news about the next Battlegrounds season soon!
