His suspicions turned out to be well-founded. Hearthstone designer Dean Ayala said on Twitter last week that he is working on another balance patch for some of the Galakron decks because they are "more powerful than necessary." The patch is not expected to be released until later this week, but details of the changes are currently available on the Hearthstone forums.3]

The Dragon's Pack and Necrium Apothecary nerfs reflect Tim's criticism of the first balance update to Descent of Dragons. All cards affected by this change will be eligible for a full refund of Arcane Dust for two weeks after the update is implemented.

Hearthstone's Battlegrounds will also be adjusted slightly, but the changes are more buff-like than nerf-like, with a pair of Battlegrounds heroes returning to the fray.
