  • Murozond has been returned to the Minion Pool.

    • Cursed Shadow is a Tier 5, 7/5 Undead with Stealth.
    • Dev Comment: Cursed Shadow is only being added to the Professor Putricide Hero Power pool, not the general Minion Pool.
  • The following heroes have less armor:
    • Galakrond and Infinite Toki have been moved to Armor Tier 1 (0 Armor).
    • Drek’Thar, Greybough, and Heistbaron Togwaggle have been moved to Armor Tier 2 (2-5 Armor).
  • The following hero has more armor:
    • Pyramad has been moved to Armor Tier 2 (2-5 Armor).

Arena Updates

  • Malignant Horror can no longer be drafted.
  • Warrior and Hunter have had the draft appearance rates of some high performing cards increased.

Duels Updates

  • Tome Tampering and Shockspitter have been banned from both deck building and card buckets.
  • The Cold Feet Pact passive treasure has been moved from Pool 2 to Pool 2 Ultra Rare.

Bug Fixes and Game Improvements

  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where the new Omen Demon Hunter Hero Skin’s Hero Power could not be upgraded through effects like Baku the Mooneater.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Sunfury Clergy unintentionally gained Rush.
  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Discover effects could sometimes Discover non-Battlegrounds cards.
  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Sinrunner Blanchy could gain infinite Reborn under certain circumstances.
  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Putricide’s Creation could be tripled under certain circumstances. The triples were failed experiments that lost some of their combined powers; it’s better these Creations remain unable to be tripled.
  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where a Corpse Refiner made golden by Greta Gold-Gun would not sell for the right amount of Gold.
  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where a minion that received Reborn from Baltharak (one of the tokens generated by Mecha-Jaraxxus) would lose Reborn if tripled.
  • [Duels] Fixed a bug where the Hematology Hero Power always assumed the player had 3 unspent Corpses if the player had any.
  • [Duels] Fixed a bug where the Hematology Hero Power could hit 0-Cost cards in your hand.
  • [Solo Content] Fixed a bug where a card adjustment to Forsaken Lieutenant made one of the Book of Mercenaries encounters impossible to complete.

This is fantastic news! A shame that frost DK wasn’t touched though, outside of the hematology fix.

Sadly its quite late. Why can’t blizzard do regualar changes like TFT does? on a schedule. Also Arena leaderboards have not been released from september & october. And now another november and december are next. Still nothing from blizzard, they just say “soon”. That’s how much they care…

Moment of silence for our spitty boi, everyone dump out a titan-forged grapnel to pay respects.

But seriously, can we do something with Frost Deathrattle DKs in duels while we are at it too?

So the “Corpse Explosion” DK card is great.
However, it seems to not work as intended in arena for some reason. Today I played a game where I had 5 corpses but the corpse explosion only triggered once… leaving up the entire board of my opponent. Not sure what the bug is, might be working like defile unintended?

Rot Hide Gnoll is still bugged with Vol’jin. it won’t gain +1 attack if minions die when you transfer stats from another minion to it to make it bigger

After the latest patch I used a Murozond, my last opponent was Reno Jackson and I stole his Tea Master Theotar which he had used his Hero Power on, the copy I stole had the golden base stats and effect as golden Theotar but was not actually a golden copy. Is Non-Golden Murozond suppose to steal the golden copy? I thought only Golden Murozond did that, could be a bug?
