Hearthstone: December 2018 balance update, a bunch of leaves were nerfed

In the latest update, the following cards will be changed.

Blizzard: This update mainly improves the longing ability of Standard and Wild. Blizzard updated earlier than usual and wanted to hear player feedback on the changes to each card.

Wild Growh – Now costs 3 mana (up from 2)

Nourish – Now costs 6 mana (up from 5)

Wild Growth and Nourish have always appeared in mid-range, combo and control Druid decks since they appeared in Basic and Classic sets. When the cards from Basic and Classic are too strong, they have a lasting negative effect on the game. Using these cards all the time will create a feeling of boredom, but they must be in the decks. By increasing the mana costs of both by one, Blizzard believes they will be more considered in late-game control Druid decks, but are difficult to fit into strategies that don’t take advantage of mana increases directly.

Leve up! – Now costs 6 mana. (increased from 5)

Odd Paladin has always been one of the strongest and most played decks since its introduction in The Witchwood. By eliminating Level Up! out of Odd Paladin, Blizzard still believes that Odd Paladin is still in the board control decks, with stable damage but easier to deal with.

Saronite Chain Gang – Now: Taunt. Battlecry: Summon another Saronite Chain Gang.

Shudderwock brings an interesting combo into the game, but using Shudderwock multiple times in a game can make the game extremely annoying. The Saronite Chain Gang change makes it much harder to use multiple Shudderwocks in one game. Shudderwock should now be a one-turn effect card instead of repeatedly copying itself with Saronite Chain Gang’s old Battlecry.

Leeching Poison – Now costs 1 mana. (Reduced from 2 down). Now is: Give your weapon Lifesteal this turn.

Blizzard likes the idea of ​​slowly building up an extremely powerful weapon in battle with Kingsbane, but with the Lifesteal effect of Leeching Poison resulting in late game Rogue having too few weaknesses. It also goes against Hearthstone’s philosophy on Rogue that Rogues shouldn’t have the effect of constantly healing themselves. Making the Lifesteal effect only active for one turn will solve some of Kingsbane Rogue’s power issues in the late game.

Once these changes go live, players can dust non-Basic cards to receive the full Arcane Dust for the first two weeks.
