Blizzard just posted images teasing the upcoming balance update for both Standard and Battlegrounds! Whizbang’s Workshop expansion has dropped last week, but the early meta hasn’t exactly been very balanced. Of course, it’s still too early to tell which deck is the strongest, but there are some clear outliers, and the win rate spread between the best and the worst classes is very high. Keep in mind that early balance patches are never big and are mostly there to target the worst offenders. I would expect a bigger balance update in a few weeks.
Until the full patch notes are released, we only know WHICH cards will get changed, not HOW! We don’t have a release date yet, all we know that the patch is “coming soon”. However, the usual schedule is a teaser on Tuesday and a patch on Thursday, which is what I would expect this time around too.
For now, check out a full list of affected cards.
