![]() ![]() ![]() The following card has been adjusted up in power level: The cards listed above will be eligible for a full dust refund for 2 weeks after the 22.2 patch goes live. By removing power here, the format should open up for a few more viable archetypes to see play, and for the Wild format to slightly slow down overall. Both of these balance adjustments are aimed at decks with extremely efficient from-hand damage, which puts big constraints on which strategies can find success in Wild. Dev Comment: The Rapid Fire and Sorcerer’s Apprentice changes are targeted at some of the strongest decks in the current Wild metagame, to improve the long-term, overall health of the format.Similar to our goals for combo-based decks in the previous patch, pushing Incanter’s Flow up a Mana will slow down combo Mages by a turn or two, giving slower strategies a better chance to thrive in the overall meta. Dev Comment: When combo Mages play Incanter’s Flow on an early turn, they can assemble their game winning combo at a very fast rate.Going from 7 total Pirates to 8 total will promote deck diversity in the Bronze through Diamond ranks. Dev Comment: Pirate Warrior is not a power outlier at the highest ranks of play, but it is overperforming at many of the lower ranks of play. ![]() Reward: Deal 2 damage to a random enemy twice. Create a Distraction (the second part of the Questline).Reducing the power levels of both these pieces should bring Poison Rogue’s overall power level back in line. Cloak of Shadows also combined with Shadowcrafter Scabbs for frustrating play experiences. Dev Comment: We’re happy with Poison Rogue when it’s a niche player in the metagame, but the current playrate of the archetype is much higher than intended.We’re adjusting Gnoll to both come down a bit later, as a slightly smaller threat when it does. Dev Comment: Wildpaw Gnoll was intended to be a strong payoff for Maestra of the Masquerade’s fun effect, but it has been overperforming in this role-even in decks that don’t have dedicated Burgle strategies.Old: 4 Attack, 5 Health → New: 3 Attack, 5 Health.We expect this change to make a fairly large impact in the strength of Rogue archetypes across the board. Dev Comment: Rogue has seen significant increases in playrate and winrate since the last patch, and Scabbs is a pretty clear outlier in terms of power.The following cards have been adjusted down in power level: Patch 22.2, launching on January 25, includes a massive Battlegrounds update, tons of Duels changes, balance changes for Standard and Wild, a new building to the Mercenaries Village, bug fixes, and more!
