Bugs

 * FIXED: Swipe now deals all of its damage before any on-damage triggers run, meaning that new Whelps/Imps/Patrons won't be hurt. However, the minions are triggered in this order: The one that was targeted, then all remaining minions in reverse order of play.
 * FIXED: Non-golden Bane of Doom will no longer summon golden minions.
 * FIXED: Rapidly clicking the "Disenchant Extra Cards" button will no longer cause the page to turn black.
 * FIXED: Clicking on your cards with Choose One effect with a targetter like Wrath or Keeper of the Grove will no longer cause the cards to be displaced from their usual location and angle

 * NEW: Healing inverted by Auchenai Soulpriest does not trigger On Damage triggers, such as Acolyte of Pain.
 * NEW: Rexxar's golden Hunter portrait has changed. His eyes and arrows are no longer golden. This is confirmed to be a bug.
 * NEW: After playing minions that change their Stats with Battlecries (Blackwing Technician, Twilight Drake), the sidebar is always showing their base Attack and Health values. Prior to the patch, it was showing attack values correctly, but health values incorrectly.
