Hearthstone update 9.1 targeted for release September 18

Hearthstone is getting an update next week — 9.1 releases on September 18. The update is to implement all balance changes that were outlined and discussed in detail last week. Five cards will be seeing changes in the update — including Basic class cards Hex, Innervate, and Fiery War Axe.

The Basic class cards are considered staples in many players’ decks. But Blizzard rightfully points out that with too many of these Basic and Class cards in individual decks, it makes for less fun when new expansions are released. The cards do serve several purposes in the game however, which is why they’re getting balance changes rather than simply being shuffled to the Hall of Fame. In addition, Blizzard would like to limit making Hall of Fame changes to the start of each Hearthstone year. This means the Classic card Murloc Warleader is set for balance changes instead of heading to the Hall of Fame.
