In the most recent update for Hearthstone, Blizzard has reduced the power of both Tidepool Pupil and Doomkin. These cards have been identified as promoting unbalanced gameplay styles in the Standard mode. Tidepool Pupil allows players to replicate crucial cards excessively during a single match, while Doomkin has become a source of irritation and has outlived its popularity.

Hearthstone patch notes: Wildpaw Gnoll, Secret Passage, and Sorcerer’s Apprentice nerfs

In the game of Hearthstone, update 30.2.2 has been rolled out to curb powerful gameplay strategies. Specifically, it weakens Wildpaw Gnoll, Secret Passage, and Sorcerer’s Apprentice, aiming to balance the gameplay experience.

“Blizzard stated that the wide variety of spells available in Sorcerer’s Apprentice needs adjustment. To address this issue, they plan to prevent the number of spells from going down to zero. With this modification made, they feel confident in restoring its initial mana cost.”
