Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.52.
If it seems that you've missed a few patches, don't worry, we've had some short and hotfix patches recently as we've fixed up issues and made minor fixes here and there, things that weren't worth publishing out to all of our old players. These small patches are always featured in the Patreon area of our Discord, so the people who care the most to know what's happening week to week have access to everything they need, but we wanted to wait until more substantial changes had occurred before telling everyone again. So, these patch notes will include everything from 0.50 and 0.51's hotfix as well as the most recent patch.

Patch Notes
Major Features
Grayscale & Inventory System
As part of our move to a Complete Trading Card Game, we have released our Grayscale and card collection systems. All accounts by default will have a copy of every single card available in the deck builder, as a "Grayscale" card, these are in greyscale and non-animated. You don't technically own these, they're just available at all times, and usable in deck builder.
With the first batch of account transfers being processed, and the grayscale system being implemented, players need to be able to see their card and cosmetics collections. We have enabled the Inventory, though please be aware the UI here is very much a work in progress as we have a UI overhaul happening in the background.
Vanity Improvements
Card Cosmetics have received additional improvements, fixing a number of bugs and having far better integration with the deckbuilder. Also deck saves have received some major upgrades to better handle your chosen cosmetics. Note that your old decks will be converted automatically, but set fully to grayscale. So be sure to re-add your cosmetic choices.
Minor Features
Deckbuilder Fixes and Optimization
The deckbuilder has been expanded to allow you to choose what cosmetics you use for each card added, including if your using grayscale cards or not. Options are also available to change card borders, alternate arts, and foiling. However you must have the associated item in your inventory. Additionally, a new asynchronous deckbuilder loader has been added and integrated with the vanity cosmetics of various cards and the inventory to drastically decrease loading times.
Animation Fixes
Nearly 30 cards have received fixes to their animated spritesheets that meant they didn't loop correctly or jittered. We have an additional dozen or so we are still in the process of fixing for next patch.
Account Transfer Tool - Working and improving
Our first account transfers have been a success so far, with plenty more on the way. Improvements have been made to the account transfer system that were causing some cards to go missing, specifically those gotten via trades. These changes have been applied retroactively to old accounts as well. In additionally, the account transfer summary page has been improved to more accurately show the number of cards transferred.
Vanity Improvements
Card Cosmetics have received additional improvements, fixing a number of bugs and having far better integration with the deckbuilder. Also deck saves have received some major upgrades to better handle your chosen cosmetics. Note that your old decks will be converted automatically, but set fully to grayscale. So be sure to re-add your cosmetic choices.
Store rotation
With us re-enabling the store, we have rotated the Profile pictures available for purchasing.
We plan to begin more regularly rotating our store offerings, so be sure to check back regularly.
