Welcome to patch 110 everyone! Our focus this time was largely on adjusting cards that create early power spikes or cheat large amounts of mana, creating unfun or one-sided games. We’re aiming to create a metagame based more on back and forth interaction, and avoid runaway games when possible. We’ve also sought to tone down a few cards that were creating frustrating gameplay experiences.
Only cards with modified discovery odds are shown here, but the CSV contains all cards.

Epic Eagle (1060)
Health:
4
→
5
Spell:
Strike Down
→
None
We’re removing Eagle’s removal spell and making it a bit more durable with +1 health in exchange.
Reckless Racer (1116)
Text:
After your hero loses health during your turn, gain +1 power.
↓
After your hero takes damage during your turn, gain +1 power.
Traits:
stealth,dash
→
dash
Racer has been a pretty consistent overperformer, so we’re dropping Stealth from it and simplifying its effect to only trigger on damage taken, to help reduce corner cases that could occur with out of deck draws, as historically those interactions have caused balance issues.
Lightboarder (1109)
Text:
After your hero loses health during your turn, return this unit to
hand.
↓
After your hero takes damage during your turn, return this unit to
hand.
Simplifying Lightboarder alongside Reckless Racer. This should reduce Lightboarder accidentally being bounced by your own out of deck draws, so it’s likely a minor buff overall, or at least a way to make them less ‘accident-prone.’
Hydrate (2010)
Text:
Both players draw a card unless their hand is full. Repeat two more
times.
↓
Draw two cards. The enemy draws a card.
Rework/nerf to a card that players have been concerned about for some time, Hydrate now draws its user two cards and their opponent one card, making the ratio of resources given to each player more favorable for Hydrate’s user (in theory) while making it a less extreme resource generation tool.
Meng'Long (2019)
Cost:
9
→
10
Text:
Has -1 cost for each element among other cards in your hand.
↓
Has -1 cost for each element among cards in your grave.
Updating Menglong to match other scaling Wisdom Cards. It has been changed to drop in cost based on elements in the grave, and also has +1 cost since its cost will drop more consistently. It may be a tad on the weaker side, but it seems like it should still be quite viable.
Etherwail (2034)
Text:
Draw and summon two units. Attach Roots to each unless it's
Earth.
↓
Draw and summon two units. Attach Roots to each.
A nerf to Etherwail, making its Roots clause simpler and harsher, as it will now Root any unit it summons, including Earth ones. We want to be more cognizant of effects that cheat on mana and/or card costs, so we’re trying to tone down a few of them in this patch.
Shield Bash (2119)
Cost:
2
→
3
Text:
Give target ally unit +1 health and Guard. Set its power to be equal to
its health, and attach Shield.
↓
Give target ally unit +1 health. Set its power to be equal to its
health, and attach Shield.
Nerf to an overperformer that was causing some frustration, Shield Bash has +1 cost and no longer grants Guard.
Sick Burn (3044)
Cost:
2
→
3
Text:
Discard your left-most unit in hand to do 3 damage to target unit. Draw
a Fire spell.
↓
Discard your lowest-cost unit in hand to do 4 damage to target unit.
Draw a card.
Reducing the efficiency of a means to cheat out big threats. Sick Burn now costs 3 and deals 4 damage, but also discards your lowest cost Unit, making the effect more predictable but making discarding big units less reliable overall. We’ve also changed its draw to a regular draw, rather than a fire spell, since Heart isn’t really meant to be focused on Fire cards or synergies.
Iron Mask (4070)
Cost:
10
→
25
Text:
Is 3 cost if your deck has no units. Give your hero Armor and
Banner.
↓
Has -1 cost for each spell in your grave. Give your hero Armor.
A larger change in service of making Iron Mask less frustrating and more Intellect themed, it now drops in cost for each of your dead spells, but has a much higher cost to compensate. It also no longer gives Banner, making it a more defensive tool. Strengthening the hero’s attack is a more Agility-centric mechanic, so it felt out of place on Iron Mask.
Ethersurge (4119)
Cost:
8
→
9
Text:
Draw two spells. They are 0 cost this turn.
↓
Draw and cast two spells, targeting enemies if possible.
A nerf and adjustment to rein in some combos and make Ethersurge more analogous to Etherwail. Ethersurge now draws and casts two spells, rather than putting them into hand, which means players’ ability to recycle Ethersurge with Storms Echo, etc. is reduced, since it will cast the spells it pulls before going to the grave. The control you have over the spells you cast is also reduced slightly, tying it more closely to the lower control a card like Etherwail gives you, without making it too random.
