Hearthstone Patch 23.0.3: Constructed changes
Last ThursdayGallon anticipated the nerfs we would be getting today. Nevertheless, let’s go over the changes that come with the 23.0.3Hearthstone Patch.
The changes in the 23.0.3 patch aim to balance Hearthstone’s metagame. This is the first balance patch we get after Voyage to the Sunken City expansion launched. Druid’s power level was out of the charts, and the deck’s popularity consequently rose to the roof, creating an unhealthy player experience.
Many players were surprised by the lack of nerfs to Demon Hunter.Gallon mentionedthat they will “be keeping a close eye on the post-patch metagame to see how aggressive Demon Hunter list fare once slower decks are given a better chance.” This makes sense since control was pushed out of the metagame by Kazakusan Druid.

Hearthstone Battlegrounds also received some changes with the 23.0.3 patch. The main target of this patch was to tone down Murloc’s power level.
The 23.0.3Hearthstone patch hit Murlocs hard with the nerfto SI: Sefin and Coldligh Seer. Murloc compositions were sometimes too good to beat, and Sefin itself was a powerful minion. On top of that, Ini Stormcoil received a huge nerf, the second in her short lifespan, that will probably send her down the tier list and maybe make her unplayable.
Duels Changes
On top of the Constructed and Battlegrounds changes, Duels is getting some fine-tuning withHearthstone patch23.0.3. What stands out in these changes is the Dev Comment on Humble Blessings, which reads “My bad”. We forgive you and love your sense of humor,Ates “Tabayrak” Bayrak!
