Blizzard just posted patch notes for the 34.2.1 update. It’s a server-side hotfix rolling out today. As usual with those kinds of patches, you don’t have to download anything, but you might not see it immediately (it takes a while to get it out to all players).
The patch includes bug fixes for both Constructed and Battlegrounds, as well as some Battlegrounds balance changes.
In Constructed, Rabbit’ath has been re-enabled and some Discover issues have been resolved. Also, Aviana and Wave of Nostalgia are now unbanned – the cards have previously caused game crashes and got temporarily removed from the game.
In Battlegrounds, we have bug fixes to multiple minions and some animation speed-ups. We also have two minion changes (Dramaloc has been removed from the pool and Apexis Guardian has been nerfed) and a lot of changes to both Minor and Major Timewarped cards.
You can read the full patch notes below:
