Hearthstone Patch 29.4.2 Teaser – Constructed & Battlegrounds Balance Update

By: Stonekeep - - Updated:

Blizzard just posted a teaser of the upcoming balance update for both Constructed and Battlegrounds! We knew that the patch would be coming soon because it was already teased in 29.4 (mini-set) patch notes – on top of the teased balance changes, it will also contain some Weekly Quest changes.

The patch contains 3 Constructed changes and a few dozen Battlegrounds changes (it’s pretty huge for Battlegrounds). Constructed changes are actually quite interesting since they will affect both Standard and Wild. Every single one of those cards sees common play in both formats.

Until the full patch notes are released, we don’t know a full list of card changes! We don’t have a release date yet either. However, the usual schedule is a teaser on Tuesday and a patch on Thursday, which is what I would expect this time around too.

For now, learn more about the patch below:

Constructed

Here’s a full list of Constructed cards that are getting changed in the patch:

    So they are not currently concerned about Mass productions affect on the Demon seed quest in wild.
    They make such an effort to balance it after it dominated so hard but they insist on printing ridiculous tools for it.
    Hopefully the mountain giant nerf can slow this down, but the deck has so many potential variations they can probably just replace it with some other powerhouse card :s

    Again with nerf every 2 days….
    Maybe if you remove entirely the wording “cost one less for each…” you don’t need to do almost any nerf.
    With this year free standard set the developers have reached a new peak of incompetence: charge minion, discounted minion, banned card of the past (for good reason), rotate brann for adding a new brann (what a genius), a new time warp (at least they finally nerfed in wild) ecc.

    Maybe it’s all part of a plan to devalue all the dust you have, in that case they are doing a great job
