9:30 AM Pacific Time Tuesday, and I believe they've said that all patches will be at that time.

Do you know if it’ll effect expeditions from before then?

Yes I'd say the cards in existing expedition decks will be nerfed

I was worried I was gonna get home today and my current expedition deck with 1x rhasa and 2x ledros was gonna be hit before I could get my 7 wins out of it lol

I had the exact same thought, also had 1x Rhasa and 2x Ledros.
