Patch 31.6 has dropped yesterday, and Blizzard has already started compiling a list of known issues. As usual, with major patches like that, there are a bunch of things that need to be fixed.
Since 31.6 was a massive Battlegrounds update, most of the issues are related to that game mode, including many weird interaction with Anomalies. Because of that, we also had a few card pool changes, like removing the just-added Captain Bonerender.
There’s also a weird bug with the just-released Tavern Brawl, which should allow deck building from all Wild cards, but the pool is currently limited to just Darkmoon Faire. You can play it like that, or just wait until it gets fixed.
I’ll keep updating this post and let you know if Blizzard pushes out any hotfixes. Check out a full list of known issues below:
Patch 31.6 is now live on all devices and the portal into the Emerald Dream is now open! Make sure you log-in now and get your free Ysera 8, then head to the shop and grab Creature of Madness 4, too!
