Hearthstone Patch Notes

Warcraft III is easily one of my favorite strategy games, so I was pleasantly surprised when Blizzard turned the Warcraft into a card game with Hearthstone. The frequent updates to the game are even better, ensuring proper balancing and new content. Typically, these updates cause the servers to go down, but we receive patch notes detailing any changes and fixes afterward. Let's look at the Hearthstone update patch notes below.

All Hearthstone 27.4.3 Patch Notes - October 3, 2023

Patch 27.4.3 is a server-side hotfix patch rolling out today with the following updates and bug fixes.

Hearthstone Update

• The Jailer has been temporarily banned from Standard and Wild

Dev Comment: We’re putting The Jailer in jail for his crimes against the meta. When we made our last set of changes, Druid was still developing as a class following the Mini-Set. After our changes were locked in, Tony Druid appeared as a top archetype in Standard. We know that we want to adjust something in that deck in our next balance window, and we also know we don’t want this deck to warp the meta in the meantime, so we’re temporarily banning The Jailer until our next scheduled balance patch.

The Jailer will be released on bail (unbanned) in our next scheduled balance patch. At that time, we’ll make other adjustments to address Tony Druid and anything else that needs tweaking.

Battlegrounds Updates
The following heroes have been banned from the following Anomalies:

• Golganneth’s Tempest: The Rat King
• Gladiator’s Spoils: Fungalmancer Flurgl, Infinite Toki, Maiev Shadowsong, Onyxia, Patches the Pirate, and Vanndar Stormpike
