This Hearthstone cards will be changed next week

A new set of balance changes is coming to Hearthstone early next week. Let's see what they are.
This Hearthstone cards will be changed next week

Dean Ayala, Hearthstone Senior Game Designer, announced which cards will see balance update next week, and now we can see the full list of changes that will come sometime next week, likely Tuesday.

Some things we guessed right, but some channels are slightly different than our predictions. All in all, we think that these are generally good changes, since none of them is outright killing a card, and it leaves the possibility for all of these cards still to be played.

Here's a full list of changes coming next week:
