18.0.1 Sever Hotfix – Cards Can No Longer Discover / Generate Themselves

A new hotfix is dropping soon, and it includes pretty major changes to how random card generation / discovering works. Similarly ot how Dragonqueen Alexstrasza was changed to not be able to generate itself, other cards will not follow the same rules.

For example, Magic Trick will never offer you another Magic Trick, or Sky Raider won’t add another copy of Sky Raider to your hand.

The hotfix also includes two smaller bug fixes, as well as makes Mr. Bigglesworth available to all players in Battlegrounds.

Hotfix is server-side, which means that you don’t have to download anything.

Hey everyone,

We’ve got a hotfix going out later today that includes significant changes to the Discover keyword and randomly generated cards:

• Discover cards can no longer Discover themselves.
• Cards that ‘generate a random card’ can no longer generate themselves.

Dev comment: Overall, this change is aimed at helping games feel a bit more varied. While generating the same card can be an exciting individual moment, these types of experiences tend to have diminishing returns after a while. These adjustments should make for healthier games against classes with a ton of resource generation.

The hotfix also includes the following:

• Mr. Bigglesworth is now available in Battlegrounds to all players.
• Fixed a bug where the selected minion summoned by Jandice Barov would not have the death upon damage enchantment when summoned again with Khadgar.
• Fixed a bug where Headmaster Kel’Thuzad would not resurrect minions that were destroyed from being returned to a full hand.

These changes will take place on the server side, so you won’t have to download anything if you’ve already updated to 18.0.
