Today, Stella Ingram will be added to the hard pool of Silent Forest, completing the enemy pool for that area. Her signature card is Break of Dawn, which causes the first card played each turn to cost 0 for both sides.
Last time, we added Lilith, with the goal of discouraging the high cost cards that you often default to in the late game. Stella is the opposite. She appears in the early to mid game, when your deck is likely to have cheap, low rarity cards. By adding her to Silent Forest, and giving her fight a strong incentive to run high cost cards, the player is encouraged to pick up equipment that they might otherwise ignore.
We like the incentives that Stella creates for deckbuilding, though we are aware that the heavy cost reduction from Break of Dawn can create large amounts of burst damage that lead to very swingy gameplay. We're keeping an eye on her for now, though there are no changes to her decklist at this time. Let us know what you think of the new encounter.
