Hearthstone Undertaker Nerf Incoming

The Hearthstone Undertaker card is getting a “balance change” in an upcoming patch as some would argue that a nerf has been long overdue. The change will make the card read: “Whenever you summon a minion with Deathrattle, gain +1 Attack.” Many Hearthstone players have been complaining that the Undertaker is just too powerful of a one-drop card, scaling with +1 Attack and +1 Health for each additional minion played with a Deathrattle effect.

Blizzard’s explanation for the Undertaker change is as follows:

• Undertaker was frustrating to play against. It often gained both Attack and Health stats significantly above those of other inexpensive minions very early in the game. With this change, we expect Undertaker will still be better than other 1-Mana minions when played in a deck with a Deathrattle theme, but more likely to die in combat against other minions.

The golden version of Undertaker can be disenchanted for its full cost for a limited time once the balance change goes live.
