Hearthstone: Mudanças a caminho

No próximo dia 05 de fevereiro mais atualizações de balanceamento serão realizadas em Hearthstone. A maioria dos cards modificados é Básico/Clássico, pois a equipe do jogo afirma que são cards que são muito usados e eles querem que a experiência do jogo, com os lançamentos, seja mais diversificada. Os cards mudados serão:

[Sangue Frio] – Custará duas manas.

UPCOMING BALANCE UPDATE – FEBRUARY 2019

In an update scheduled to arrive February 5, several cards will be changed.

When we talk about changes that are in store for Hearthstone cards, we normally talk about each card individually to explain why we think that change is needed.

This time, we’re doing things a little differently because most of the upcoming changes are happening for the same reason. Here’s why we’re changing these cards and our general philosophy behind this update.

HS_Blog_Divider_Filigree_Bar.png

We think Hearthstone is most fun when strategies are consistently evolving. When new cards are released, we’d like for older expansion decks to get a few interesting new pieces while also allowing you to experiment with the totally new archetypes that emerge. When Basic and Classic cards become so broadly effective—no matter what you’re facing—that they drive what deck styles are considered viable every expansion, then it makes that goal difficult to achieve.

Basic and Classic are sets that, ideally, should embody the flavor and mechanics of each Class. As we’ve mentioned before, cards in these sets can become an issue when they make all other strategies look less interesting. This doesn’t mean is that all Basic and Classic cards should be ineffective, however. It’s hugely important to us that these sets contain a good number of cards that are great tools for different situations and deck archetypes.

We’re changing these particular cards because each one has been highly prevalent, regardless of what strategies have been popular or what other cards have existed around them. When Basic and Classic cards become this ubiquitous, they take away some of the flexibility players have when building decks, ultimately stifling the diversity of decks we see when playing Hearthstone.

The following changes are intended to shift these cards from general-purpose “auto-includes” into options that are more likely to be chosen for decks that are focused on strategies that capitalize on what these cards have to offer.

Cold Blood – Will cost 2 Mana. (Up from 1)

ROGUE__CS2_073_enUS_ColdBlood.pngcardchanges_arrow.pngROGUE__CS2_073_enUS_ColdBlood.png-1.png

Flametongue Totem – Will cost 3 mana. (Up from 2)

Equality – Will cost 4 mana. (Up from 2)

PALADIN__EX1_619_enUS_Equality.pngcardchanges_arrow.pngPALADIN__EX1_619_enUS_Equality.png-1.png

Hunter’s Mark – Will cost 2 mana. (Up from 1)

Emerald Spellstone – Will cost 6 mana. (Up from 5)

The only non-Basic or Classic card in this round of changes. We want to position Emerald Spellstone as an efficient mid- and late-game threat, so we’re moving its cost up by one to reduce its utility as an early-game, aggressive tempo option. This change—along with the Hunter’s Mark change—is aimed at addressing Hunter’s prevalence, while still leaving it as a viable option.

We look forward to seeing how the meta shakes out in the coming months. Thanks for reading, and good luck on the ladder.

Once these updates are live, players will be able to disenchant the changed non-Basic cards for their full Arcane Dust value for two weeks.

Flametongue Totem and Hunter’s Mark are Basic cards, and cannot be disenchanted.
