35.6.2 — Adjustments before Violet Hold

Hunter and No Minion Demon Hunter lose some power. Crystallized Leyline summons from a higher-cost group.

Released June 11, 2026

This update weakens some strong cards before the next set.

Selected Standard changes

  • Confront the Tol'vir: three → four Mana.
  • The Eternal Hold: its next-minion discount sets the cost to one instead of zero, when its rule is met.
  • Twilight Egg: the summoned Whelp changes from 2/2 → 2/1.
  • Crystallized Leyline summons a six-cost minion instead of a five-cost minion.

How plays may change

The Eternal Hold now needs one Mana for the next minion. Plans that used all Mana first need another look.

Twilight Egg's Whelp is now weak to one damage. Leyline picks from a higher-cost pool, but it does not promise one exact minion.

This is a record of the changes at release. Confront the Tol'vir changes again in later patches.
