Major Features

Desyncs

Thanks everyone who has played recently and reported bugs. Have have been working hard to squash any remaining desyncs thanks to our improved logging systems. We've fixed a few more of them this patch and will be keeping an eye on if any more remain over the weekend.

Card Packs

Collector Booster Packs are now available in the store!

• These booster packs contain 5 cards from a pool of all available cards. Get cards from the released intrigue cards, or from older sets, even promo cards can rarely appear.
• Each booster contains 1 card guaranteed to be Uncommon or rarer and all cards have a chance to be Foiled, Gold Bordered, or both.
• Buy premium boosters to more than double your odds of finding rarer cards or cosmetics, and all cards from premium boosters are marked as Tradable when that feature is enabled.
• Bundles of 5 Packs can be bought to provide a discounted price.

Resolution Changing

New Resolution options and better support for less common resolutions has now been included. We'll be continuing to see how we can support different resolutions more in the future.

Balance Changes

Confront the Aether: Increase cost by 2 This card was giving less dedicated CoV decks too much lategame gas, now the card will be able to be made very cheap in dedicated spell matters decks, but be a much more awkward topdeck in other situations.

Sol, Tyrant of Solace: Increase cost by 1 The huge body and very powerful effect came down just a little quicker than we liked, making it difficult to rush down. We'll be keeping an eye on this still very powerful card to see if it needs further adjustments in the future.

Kickstarter Progress

The Intrigue Kickstart has now been completed! We recieved AU$ 35,096 out of our AU$25,000 goal to help bring this project to life. Digital rewards for the project, as well as the Intrigue set packs will be released on October the 10th as we process payments with kickstarter. Exact dates and designs for physical designs will be released soon. You can now see the full spoiler for Intrigue here: https://imgur.com/a/Y0dQHA2

Thanks again to all our amazing backers, we couldn't do it without you.

Australian Holiday

The team will be away for a 4 day weekend this week due to multiple public holidays. This will give us a chance to rest and recharge after the recent campaign. Please be aware if you are applying for an account transfer during this time it may be delayed slightly.

Minor Features

Battlepass Changes

The Battlepass no longer provides platinum cards as the kickstarter has now finished. Platinums for the next set will be available when we rotate out the battlepass in the future.

External Passive stat effects

The way the rules handle "Lord" effects, such as Pack Leader, that grant stats to other Characters passivly has been changed. Previously, health buffs provided by these cards could "heal" the character after being removed. So a 4/4 that gains +2/+2 but was dealt 3 damage would then become a 4/3 when the +2/+2 bonus was removed. Now that card would be a 4/4 with 3 damage still, making it a 4/1. This both prevents some uninutitive behaviour and means that killing "Lord" cards that grant these styles of buffs with AOE effects will work more effectivly.

Please note that one-time or time based health buffs will continue to "heal" when removed, meaning that a 4/4 that gains +4/+4 until the end of turn, then takes 4 damage will not die when the buff runs out. This change only effects external passive "Lord" style effects.

Balance Changes
