30.6.2 Patch Notes
Patch 30.6.2 is rolling out today with the following updates:
Dev Comment: This round of changes is focusing on preparing for our next expansion: The Great Dark Beyond, launching on November 5 (when Prince Renathal rotates back out of Standard). As we plan for the post-launch meta, our focus is primarily on adjusting harsh play patterns like fast board floods, powerful board wipes, huge life swings, and cards that get end-game cards out too quickly.
Some of these are reversions to prior changes—our balance philosophy remains that we’ll try to make the best changes for the game in each specific patch window and not be afraid to revert changes when they don’t work out or the circumstances are no longer right for them.
Finally, in Wild, we’re changing Radiant Elemental to be consistent with Sorcerer’s Apprentice. This effect is generally very powerful, even by Wild’s standards, and this change is being made with upcoming cards in mind. With this change, we’re also unbanning Crimson Clergy to give him another shot to not get himself re-banned.
The following cards have been adjusted to be weaker:
Yogg-Saron, Unleashed
Wondrous Wand (generated by Marin the Manager)
Puppetmaster Dorian
Treasure Distributor
Party Fiend
Crescendo
Tsunami
Razzle-Dazzler
Injured Hauler
Radiant Elemental
The above disenchantable cards, plus Heistbaron Togwaggle, will be eligible for full dust refunds for two weeks following Patch 30.6.2.
The following card has been adjusted to be stronger:
Golden Kobold (generated by Marin the Manager)
Crimson Clergy is no longer banned in Wild.
Dev Comment: We hope you're enjoying the new trinkets in both Solos and Duos! Since the meta is still new, we focused our changes primarily on more notable power outliers. We'll be monitoring the game and make further adjustments as needed after The Great Dark Beyond launches.
