Hearthstone’s Molten Giant is receiving the rare un-nerf

Blizzard Entertainment announced a raft of changes coming to its hit digital card game Hearthstone when the Year of the Raven launches later in 2018. But one card is receiving something more. Molten Giant is getting redemption.

Molten Giant is an 8/8 minion that costs 1 mana less for each point of damage your hero has taken. It originally started at 20 mana. Since Hearthstone has a max of 10 mana normally, you couldn’t play the card unless you took some hits. But Blizzard nerfed Molten Giant in 2016, increasing its cost to 25 mana.
