Patch 21.0.3 Is Now Out! Constructed, Arena & Battlegrounds Balance Changes + Bug Fixes

Patch 21.0.3 was just pushed out on PC! Just like always, it might take some more time (up to a few hours) to be released on mobile devices (iOS, Android).

In case you missed the news, here’s a quick summary of the patch:

  • Eight Constructed cards nerfs, including Incanter's Flow, Darkglare, Il'gynoth and Battleground Battlemaster.
  • Five Battlegrounds Hero changes – four Heroes got buffed and one has returned to the pool after a remake (Shudderwock).
  • Arena microadjustments – win rate of Druid, Warrior and Demon Hunter should be decreased; Mage, Priest, Rogue, and Shaman increased; other classes should remain the same.
  • Multiple bug fixes.

    So, Quest Warlock still very fast (and stup*d) deck after the meta. Imagine my surprise.
    Who would’ve thought that nerfing Flesh Giant by 1 is not gonna be enough? That card should be at least 12 mana to begin with. And Darkglare at 3 mana? LOL.

    Devs need to learn that mana cheat is always gonna be the sole cause of problem in Hearthstone.

      And man, I really do need those Edit Reply feature, because everytime I type, I need to re-read everything again once or twice to make sure everything I typed is correct. I think it’s a pretty common feature to have in here.
      Or maybe implement something like Disqus?

      Agreed Quest Warlock still overpowered, didn’t really get touched at all.

        Indeed. I was facing the 6th in consecutive until I had enough and conceded as the enemy quest start. I’m gonna do Death Stranding until next nerf.

          Yep, my first few games after the nerf were all Questlock, and I conceded the last game after they had 3 Flesh Giants and a Goldshire Gnoll on the board on turn 5, and the quest fully completed.

      It looks like they’re still working on that, they updated patch notes saying that they will come “at a later date”. It’s already fixed for people who finish everything now, but those who are already done will have to wait a bit longer I’m afraid.

        Oh and before I forget,
        A few week ago while creating a deck
        I notice mind blast is missing his shadow school, so I guess there are few other spell that manage to evade your grasp when the school system was implemented,
        Still keep up the good work with HSTD
