In this Hearthstone update, we're making balance changes to several cards and fixing several bugs.

Read on for details!


  • Ethereal Peddler now reads “Battlecry: If you’re holding any non-Rogue class cards, reduce their Cost by (2).” This was done to make it more clear, especially with upcoming releases.
