NEW CARDS:
(card is created from INVOKE DESTRUCTION and cannot be collected)
NEW REALMS:
CARD REWORKS:
Old - 2 Mana 0/6 | On Play: One of your Characters gets +2 Attack Power and -2 Health.
New - 2 Mana 2/1 | On Play: The next Character you play swaps its Attack Power and Health.
White Shroud ended up being a Card that you played that usually killed one of your other cards on the board. 2 Damage is pretty severe for most cards, especially in the beginning turns. This change to White Shroud should really fit him into a nice support role.
Old - 5 Mana Spell | On Play: Discard your hand, add a 6-Mana Card here.
New - 5 Mana Spell | On Play: Discard your hand, add Sargas, the Firebringer to your hand.
BALANCE CHANGES
Old -> 4 Mana 3/6 - On Play: Your opponent discards a Card. If your opponent has more than 4 Cards in their hand, double this Attack Power.
New -> 4 Mana 5/2 - On Play: If your opponent has more than 4 Cards in their hand, double this Attack Power.
Removing Miller's Daughter's discard effect lets her ability be more consistent and with her buff to Attack Power, she seems like a very logical pick for the 4 Mana slot.
Gravekeeper was missing an actual power spike that was needed in the Tombstone decks. This should help.
Old - 2 Mana 4/1 - On Play: Your other Characters in play lose 1 Attack Power and 1 Health.
New - 2 Mana 4/1 - On Play: Your other Characters in play lose 1 Health.
Old - 2 Mana Spell | Swap a Card in your hand with a Card in your opponent's hand.
New - 2 Mana Spell | Swap the lowest mana Card in your hand with a Card in your opponent's hand. Give the swapped Card +1 Attack Power.
Mind Meld was by far one of the most boring un-fun cards in the starter deck. We wanted to buff its effect to see what kind of power curve it gives. You can now trade those pesky Tombstones with your opponent!
