Bastion isn't the only one being nerfed. Blizzard today announced that it would be balancing its Hearthstone collectible card game with several card nerfs in a patch for both iOS and Android. The update is being rolled out to improve the "long-term health of both Standard and Wild.," according to a blog post.
Three cards, Wild Growth, Nourish and Level Up! will see mana increases, and Leeching Poison will be reduced to one mana, down from two. Leeching Poison will now also only give you Lifesteal for one turn instead of permanently. Saronite Chain will now summon a Saronite Chain Gang instead of creating a copy of itself.

- Wild Growth - Will now cost 3 mana (up from 2)

The update will roll out sometime on December 19th.
