Shop v2.1
Shop mechanics, item costs, and the shop UI have all been reworked.
The base cost of each item Tier goes up by 10 rather than 5. Mid-tier costs have also been added, so Tier 1 items can cost either 10 or 15 gold, Tier 2 items can cost either 20 or 25 gold, up to Tier 5 items costing the maximum 50 gold.
Upgrading the shop no longer costs any gold, skipping shopping gives you 5 gold (and does not increase with shop level), and you start the game with 10 gold rather than 5 gold. Also, towers no longer reward 10 gold when killed.
In constructed, no random items are added to your deck. It's just your item deck, though you will get random tier 1 items offered if you run out of items from your item deck.
The rules for the shop slots have been simplified slightly as well. The left slot is an item from the highest tier available and the right slot is an item from the lowest tier available (previously it was any item you can afford) and item costs can no longer increase as you scan from the left to the right slot.
Finally, tier 5 items (50 gold) now cost 2 mana rather than 1 mana to equip.
