Patch 25.4.3.168129 is a Hearthstone patch released on March 2, 2022. It's a minor patch, featuring card changes for constructed, Battlegrounds, and Duels
Patch Notes[]
Patch 25.4.3 is a data-only patch launching March 2 with the following updates.
Hearthstone Card Updates[]
Dev Comment: Overall, this is a little bit of a lighter patch for Standard. We just had a big infusion of cards with the mini-set, so this patch is just looking to address two major outliers after that card infusion. We're excited to see where the mini-set lands after these adjustments.
For Wild, we've been discussing potential updates to the mode. In this patch, we're making changes to help curb some of the mode's negative play experiences. We don't view these changes as exhaustive, but we are working on some more long-term updates that we're excited to share once they are more solidified.
- Old: [3 Mana]
- New: [4 Mana]
- Dev Comment: Frost Death Knight is the best deck in Standard after the mini-set and Construct Quarter is the stand-out card in that deck and in other Death Knight decks. This change is both an acknowledgment of the strongest deck in the format and the strongest card in that deck.
- Old: [10 Mana]
- New: [11 Mana]
- Dev Comment: Before the rise of Frost Death Knight, Evolve Shaman was the biggest outlier in the format. This change is to keep Evolve Shaman in line after the adjustment to Construct Quarter. Goldshire Gnoll is an important enabler for the deck's bad play patterns, and this makes those play patterns slower and less powerful, while still allowing Evolve Shaman to play with the exciting new cards they got in the mini-set.
- Old: Battlecry: Repeat the last spell you've cast that costs (5) or more.
- New: Battlecry: Repeat the last spell you've cast that costs (6) or more.
- Old: [6 Mana] Combo: Deal damage equal to the number of other cards you've played this turn.
- New: [5 Mana] Combo: Deal 2 damage to a minion for each other card you've played this turn.
- Old: [4 Mana] Destroy all minions. Discard your hand.
- New: [5 Mana] Destroy all minions. Discard 2 cards.
The above cards will be eligible for a full dust refund for two weeks following Patch 25.4.3.
