Keyword Changes and Once Per-Turn Hero Activations

Combustion goes from:

Deal 5-8 Damage to anything, you lose 5-8 life

To:

Deal 6 Damage to anything, you take 6 Damage

What does this mean? There will be less variance with Combustion knowing that a 6-toughness target will always get killed. You can now cast Combustion cards at 7 or 8 life without risking dying. Lilith also prevents damage to you on your own turn, making Combustion cards quite powerful there. Divine Protection prevents damage to you until your next turn, so Combustion now works with Cheems and Cheezus too.

Yeet! goes from:

Discard a random card to deal (x) to the enemy Player. This ability works if you have no cards in hand

To:

Discard a card from your hand to deal (x) Damage to the enemy Player

Yeet! now lets you choose the card you discard, but has no effect with zero cards in hand. Getting to choose has its benefits - like not discarding your best stuff or discarding your biggest Champion to get a juicy Raise Dead.

Hero Activations Once Per Turn

Getting to activate a Hero's active ability multiple times per turn was proving difficult to design many lower-cost Hero actives. Gameplay would get redundant as players using their Hero ability twice, or three times in a turn would out-value an opponent casting their real cards.

With the change comes some Hero rebalancing. Some Heroes that could previously use their power multiple times in a turn won't be able to. Overall, there are many power increases among Heroes now, some of which come from adjusting their Hero active to cost less since it can only be used once, while other's get cheaper actives based on them seeing little play or not performing well in constructed.
