Patch 34.4 was just released, and (sadly) just like most patches, it introduced a bunch of bugs/issues. As usual, Blizzard is keeping track of the currenty reported ones and working on fixes.
In Constructed, new issues include Timelooper Toki generating 4 cards instead of 3 (so it has the pre-buff effect but post-buff stats/cost) and Plot Twist not working correctly with the new Hunter/Warlock Quest Battle at the End Time.
The patch also introduced revamped Taverns of Time cards to Arena, but a bunch of them had to be emergency banned because they turned out to wrap the meta. Those cards include Infinite Murloc and Flash Forward, but I honestly expect more bans/changes soon. Also Iron Juggernaut was banned because it had some issues with its card bucket.
Check out a full list of known issues below:
