Preview of Balance Changes for 3.61
Hi all!
Since the release of 3.60 with 67 new cards we had an ever-changing meta. Several previously established decks got some new tools and several completely new decks emerged during this period, some more stronger than others, and some we would like to see rise up to the challenge. Based on your much appreciated feedback we devised the below list of balance changes to further improve overall enjoyment of the game. As always we'd appreciate any further feedback before these hit live server in 3.61.
