Patch 34.2.2, launching today, brings balance updates to Hearthstone and Battlegrounds along with some bug fixes.
Dev Comment<\/strong>: Well met! We\u2019ve enjoyed seeing how you\u2019ve been experimenting with new cards and archetypes since the last nerf patch shook up the meta. The Standard metagame feels like it\u2019s in a good, stable spot right now, which is exactly where we want to be heading into the World Championships and winter break. Rather than toppling the top decks, we\u2019re using this opportunity to give a few archetypes you\u2019ve shown have potential some buffs.<\/em>
Take Aura Paladin for example. It\u2019s on the rise, so we\u2019re giving Cardboard Golem a boost to help it shine. You\u2019ve shown a lot of creativity with Timelooper Toki, and we think there\u2019s more to explore, so we\u2019re making it easier to use\u2026 and reuse\u2026 and reuse.<\/em>
We\u2019ve seen your discussions about a couple of strong decks making waves, namely Discover Hunter and Hagatha Shaman. While they\u2019re popular at certain ranks, our metrics show their power and patterns aren\u2019t at a level that calls for changes at this time. We\u2019ll keep a close eye on the meta and watch how things evolve leading up to our next balance patch in the new year.<\/em>
Thanks for playing, and we\u2019ll see you in the Tavern!<\/em>

Dev Comment<\/strong>: Greetings! We hope you\u2019re having a good time with the new Timewarped Tavern! This balance patch takes a broad approach with many adjustments, but we wanted to highlight a few key changes:<\/em>
We don\u2019t expect more balance changes until the new year, but we\u2019ll keep listening and adjust as needed.<\/em>
Have fun in the Tavern, and happy holidays! We\u2019ll see you in the new year.<\/em>
