At what ranks? That's only in elemental lobbies and you have to have brann, or nomi, or golden hogger, for a decent build. Also gets rekt by Leroy and mantis. I like Magmalock buts it's a good build in like 1 out of 20 games.

Hearthstone Mercenaries Support Ending, No More Regular Content Updates After 25.4

The Hearthstone Team has announced that Mercenaries, the new game mode that launched October 21, 2021, is no longer going to receive content updates.

The Hearthstone Team has announced that Mercenaries, the new game mode that launched October 21, 2021, is no longer going to receive content updates.

The news comes after a post showcasing new updates coming to the mode which include dual-types, factions, and six new mercenaries to collect. These updates in Patch 25.4 are going to be the final content updates the mode receives, with Blizzard instead focusing their efforts towards the normal game and Battlegrounds.

Mercenaries was a mode that was met with poor monetization, low replayability with a dull grind, and unbalanced pvp. It should come as no surprised that more efforts won't be pushed to the mode.

Quote From Blizzard

After these updates, we will be focusing on making the Hearthstone and Battlegrounds modes the best they can be. At the same time, Mercenaries will continue to get support for bug fixes and periodic balance changes as needed, but no further regular content updates. With the new additions in this patch, we hope that Mercenaries will be a fun, fulfilling mode for players.
To everybody who has ever chased a Bounty or gathered around the Campfire, we thank you for making this chapter in Hearthstone’s history special, and we hope you’ll enjoy everything Mercenaries has to offer in 25.4. See you in the Tavern!

25.4.3 Patch Notes

Patch 25.4.3 includes balance changes for Standard, Wild, Battlegrounds, and Duels!

hearthstone.blizzard.com

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.


Construct Quarter

• 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.

Goldshire Gnoll

• 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.

Grey Sage Parrot

• 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.

Spectral Pillager

• 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.

Cataclysm

• 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.

Battlegrounds Updates​

Minion Pool Changes

• Sin’dorei Straight Shot will now only appear in games with Undead.
• Archdruid Hamuul has been temporarily returned to the minion pool (just until Patch 25.6).

Minion Changes


Ghoul of the Feast

Bug Fixes and Game Improvements​
