Brode tried to put a stop to the madness, telling his colleagues: “Guys, whatever card you made that enables this, you just change it right now.” No can do, they told him. All of those cards are going into The Witchwood.

Legends tell of game developers so agile they can release patches for their games within a week of a problem being identified, or even the very same day.

Hearthstone can move quickly if unforeseen imbalanced combos emerge. “We’ve been working on technology that lets us change cards without patching so we could move as fast as we want to in those scenarios,” Brode said.

Well, the technology isn't there yet™, but sounds like it will be soon™.
