Before the Blackrock Mountain goes out on April 3, the makers of Hearthstone have released a small patch. The preparing of your client is not only on the front extension, but has also brought a few adjustments with it. For example, Sylvanas are no longer stealing a minion that is about to die. Vol’jin no longer destroys itself when all other servants are out of it, even in stealth on the board. You can go through the patch notes below.
