Blizzard will be nerfing two key Shaman cards in the upcoming 6.1.3 update for Hearthstone.
In an official blog post outlining all the upcoming changes, Blizzard stated that they're "happy that Shaman has many deckbuilding options to choose from, but we are taking this opportunity to adjust two of the most widely played and frustrating Shaman cards."
The cards in question are Rockbiter Weapon and Tuskarr Totemic. The former is having its mana cost increased by one, and the latter is having its card text tweaked. The new Tuskarr will now only be able to randomly summon standard totems as opposed to special ones. In practical terms, this means that there will no longer be a chance of this low-cost minion minion summoning a board-dominating, and potentially game-ending totem to the field.
While these changes don't break the deck archetypes they were usually featured in, these changes do represent a significant nerf to Shamans in the current meta, though Blizzard seems confident it's for the best saying that "In the long-term, we think these changes will make playing against Shaman less frustrating and make the deckbuilding decisions for Shaman more interesting."
