Disagree... it does have nice synergy with the buzzard but there are plenty of other things that give UtH loads of potential utility when played together:
- Hyena or flesh-eating ghoul (especially if the hounds trade for things)
- Timber wolf / dire wolf alpha (allows hounds to trade up better)
- Cultmaster (yet more card draw as you sack the hounds into things)
- Leeroy (the whelps give you 2x extra hounds)
- Houndmaster/shattered sun (to allow one hound to trade up better)

I'm happy w/ that, I think 3 cost will make a big difference to the hunter meta. It pushes the dream combo (buzzard, uth & timber wolf) to 6 mana and could also be the difference of not having enough mana left to hero power or play that 'card' thats required to combo finish.
My main concern is will this lead to an increase in people playing zoo?

It has to. Zoo is the only other cheap viable deck. This change (once implemented) will see everyone running Blood Knight even more precisely because of this. I think a Warlock Lifetap nerf to -3 life is now inevitable.
I agree this will make a big difference. I've been using Hunter to climb ranked using decks without buzzard but will be using Warrior next due to this change.

Sorry could you please explain this to me (someone tried to but I didn't get the logic of it
).So if Blizzard revise a card is that advantageous in terms of its cost or something?
If Blizzard change a card you can DE it for the same amount as it would cost to craft. IE you get 100% refund because they changed it. When they changed Tinkmaster you could DE him for 1600 instead of 400 for the 2 weeks after the change.
Ah I see. But where are these announcements made exactly? How does one know if a card has been nerfed or changed and wants to consider DEing for eg?
Official feeds and closer to the time the Bnet launcher should tell you a patch is incoming and what the changes are. After the patch, if (and only if) you own a card that has been changed you will get a notification as soon as you start the game. If you don't have the card it won't bother telling you.
Got a pack after an unsuccessful arena run last night, and it had a legendary (Sylvanas Windrunner) an epic and a rare in it 
Im fooling about with a couple of different hero's and builds, the first is an ultra defensive Taunt driven druid build.....it sucks hard! the second is a mage build where im trying to constantly generate minions.
Needless to say both are terrible but I do enjoy playing about with different builds.

Sorry just one more question, where exactly can I find the updates on Bnet front end? Is it under news and filtered for Heathstone?

+1, deckbuilding is fun
Ive got 3 decks with lots of taunts Im playing around with. None of them seem spectacularly good, but I have played mostly an aggressive style up to this point so I am learning a lot about them!
I don't think the UTH change will have a massive impact. There might be a few less people playing Hunter but it will still be an insane combo for card draw/board clear even at 3 mana.
They should have maybe capped the dogs it can spawn to say 3 or something and left it at 2 mana.
Had a fun priest mirror match last night with a friend which saw 5 Sylvanas played due to Thoughtsteal, was pretty hilarious especially when my opponent SW mine instead of his own and then just gave me the one he has in play instead, that cost him the game.

The patch notes will go up in there somewhere. The patch is already on the servers which means it is about to go into effect.
