Blizzard just posted a teaser of the upcoming balance update for both Constructed and Battlegrounds! We knew that the patch would be coming soon because it was already teased in 29.4 (mini-set) patch notes – on top of the teased balance changes, it will also contain some Weekly Quest changes.
The patch contains 3 Constructed changes and a few dozen Battlegrounds changes (mostly Hero health changes, but it also has some proper balance adjustments). Constructed changes address some of the most popular cards in the format – Reno and Zilliax (Virus module in particular, Virus + Perfect has become a go-to version in many slower decks and it’s just too hard to deal with efficiently). The last change is to Celestial Projectionist, which might not seem like a problematic card, but it leads to some outrageous blowout turns in decks like Pain Warlock or Draw (Miracle/Giant) Rogue.
Until the full patch notes are released, we only know what cards are affected and not how! We don’t have a release date yet either. However, the usual schedule is a teaser on Tuesday and a patch on Thursday, which is what I would expect this time around too. If that’s the case, the patch should drop on June 27 around 10 AM PT (19:00 CET), with full patch notes shortly before that.
For now, learn more about the patch below:
Standard
Here’s a full list of Standard cards that are getting changed in the patch:
- Reno, Lone Ranger
- Zilliax Deluxe 3000 (Virus Module)
- Celestial Projectionist
Twist
There are no Twist changes in the teaser images, but the social media post itself confirmed that Twist will be a part of the update. We knew that the patch would have Twist changes for quite some time anyway, but it’s good to have another confirmation.
Battlegrounds
And here’s a full list of Battlegrounds changes in the usual teaser images. One image is for proper balance changes and the other is for Hero Health changes.
