BALANCE CHANGES
GOLDEN BIRD
- Old -> 3 Mana 2/1 - On Play: Cards in your hand cost 1 less Mana next turn.
- New -> 3 Mana 2/1 - On Play: Cards in your hand cost 1 less Mana. Golden Bird has always had a fun ability; the downside being that the effect never lasted long enough for you to draw your combo or the cards you wanted. Having Golden Bird change to a permanent effect makes it feel better to include it in your decks. We will continue to monitor it's play rate and win rate to see if it sits correctly within our expectations.
MAID OF BRAKEL
- Old -> 1 Mana 1/2 - On Play: If you play a Card here next turn, +3 Attack Power.
- New -> 1 Mana 1/2 - On Play: If you play a Card here next turn, +2 Attack Power. Maid of Brakel is a fantastic early game unlock, maybe too fantastic. Her ability is so consistent that you're almost always seeing her as a 1/5 on turn 2, which is too strong. We've decided to reduce the strength of her ability slightly to see if she still sits in the popular cards.
MASTER THIEF
- Old -> 3 Mana 1/-3 - On Play: Gain +1 Max Mana next turn.
- New -> 3 Mana 1/-3 - On Play: Gain +1 Max Mana permanently. When Master Thief was first introduced to the game, the ability felt really neat and new. As other cards have surfaced and new synergies were introduced, Master Thief (mostly due to his time-sensitive ability) was removed from decks. Changing his ability to a permanent ability (similar to Golden Bird), should really improve his deckbuilding and play rates, plus who doesn't like dropping him on Moonlit Lake and cheesing out Hildebrand to get an extra 2-4 Mana by end of game!
