IWC 0.73 Patch Notes
October 10th 2022, IWC Version 0.73 - Intrigue is Live!
Major Features
Intrigue is now live!
All intrigue cards are now available to play. Check them out on the deckbuilder now.
There has been minor delays in the rewards for our Kickstarter backers, and this is due to the Mass Reward Granting tool we're working on behind the scenes not currently being ready for the level of use we're looking for. This is also delaying overdue Patreon rewards, as well as a few niche cases of people whose account transfers outright failed, and we've promised packs to. In addition to a critical bug found by QA when opening full set packs.
We assume this will be fixed and ready to go by if not the middle of this week, than the end of it, and you'll hear more updates from us when things are ready over Discord.
New Store Rotation
New items are now available in the store, including previously unseen alternate art bundles. We'll be continuing to update this with Full set packs once the kickstarter rewards have been distributed.
Improved Pack opening VFX
We are continuing to make improvements to our pack opening systems from a visual standpoint
Ingame VFX
Some keywords now have visual effects on the battlefield, we'll be continuing to improve this system to eventually cover all keywords.
Minor Features
Deckbuilder now better displays banned and restricted cards.
Balance Changes
None this patch.

Wording Consistency Changes
Hundreds of minor wording changes have been applied. This process is still incomplete, but setting up the framework for future UI and Tooltip changes. Examples of changes you might see are changing the inconsistent "At the end of each turn", and "At the end of the turn", to now all use "At the end of turn" Also Remove/Removed is now a term like Kill and will have its own tooltip in the future. This also has had the benifit of greatly reducing the word count of some cards, making them easier to understand.
Themed Bundles
- A new type of card bundle is now available on the store.
- Themed Bundles contain gold bordered tradable playsets revolving around a single Character or Faction, as well as cosmetics connected to the theme. These bundles will regularly rotate, so be sure to check out the shop regularly.
