33.0.3 Patch Notes

Patch 33.0.3 is rolling out with updates for Hearthstone, Battlegrounds, and more!

Hearthstone Updates

Dev Comment: With the launch of The Lost City of Un'Goro last week, our primary goals for this patch are to infuse power into several of the new cards and to tone down some older decks and early outliers. We're doing buffs earlier in this expansion cycle because we can see from the early data that many of the new cards are not meeting expectations-and that nerfs alone won't result in the changes we want to see.

The power level of these cards has been lowered:

New: [9 mana]

Battlegrounds Updates

Dev Comment: Well met! Patch 33.0.3 marks our final major balance update of the season. While we've made targeted adjustments to individual Trinkets and Anomalies, the core focus this patch is on minion tuning. We've addressed standout cards like Shoalfin Mystic and Captain Sanders, aiming to bring them into healthier positions within the meta. At the same time, we've given a boost to underperformers such as Fauna Whisperer and Champion of Sargeras to make them more rewarding to play. We hope you've enjoyed this season and look forward to sharing what's coming next very soon.
