7/27 v1.3.9 Gameplay Update
Will be pushed to the main branch once localization is finished.
Cards
This update aims to make the starter decks more personalized, as well as buff some less used cards.
This will result in the game becoming easier, so enemies will be added and revamped in later updates, increasing the gap between the three difficulties. Mostly to make the Hard and Lunatic diffulties harder, while keeping the Hard difficulty around the same level.

Updates to the conditions for certain Exhibits' appearances to reduce the odds of obtaining useless exhibits. Some of these existed before this patch (Such as Super Mushroom), but are listed here:
Affected Exhibits:
Cleansed Crystal Mirror only appears if there's a card in the library relevant to Scrying
Specifically, it checks if there are any cards in the library that mention Scry as a keyword.
For example, it will appear if there's a Navigation Star in the library even though it can't Scry on its own, as that card may eventually lead to a Scry-focused deck.
Lunatic Gun only appears if there's a card in the library that can discard cards in the hand, or the Blink Dagger is held
Plushie only appears if there's a Teammate card in the library
Super Mushroom only appears if the Player's current power is less than 100.
Removal from the pool: Some exhibits will stop appearing past a certain point in the game.
The following exhibit will no longer appear starting from Act 3, Level 5 (Sumireko event)
Treasure Ship Model
The following exhbits will no longer appear starting from Act 3, Level 10 (Reisen event, including the event itself)
Crow Tengu's Wing, High Grade Handbag, Block Toys.
Purple Mirror will only appear starting from Act 1, Level 5.
Miscallaneous
Card art, status effect icons updated.
Perfomance, attack animation updates.
Localization font size updates.
Shop:
The 5th and 6th slots can never display the same card.
Uncommon Exhibits and Tool cards were made cheaper.
Overall shop price ranges were made cheaper: 95-105%→92-100%
This also affects the sale prices in the "Rinnosuke: Item Trade" event.
