Welcome to a round up of the week! We have Battleboard rotation news, Frostheart spoilers, a peak at the next Clash AAA, and more!
This week we really dove into the story behind our upcoming set, Frostheart. On Monday we revealed that the sentient Frostheart gem is not content to be taken down by Hogarth's ritual. It's looking for a champion, and Lixil may be just what it needs. Read all about the Deathless Gem and the epic showdown that's brewing in the distance.
Next, we gave you some insights into the process that goes into building an exciting fantasy world. Learn more about how we brought color into the Hyperborean Mountains and used specific cards to make Entrath come to life.
Finally, we took a moment to appreciate the underdogs. For every team that takes center stage, there are the teams that must be trampled underfoot. Here are some stories from our Frostheart Failures. Enjoy!
Jungle Juice
The Frost Ring Battleboard will be rotating out of the Chark Mart next Tuesday, June 27th @ 10:00am PT. Make sure to nab it in honor of our upcoming set! This is your last chance to stay frosty, so pick it up today. It will be replaced with this hot new Jungle Battleboard:
Get ready to add some heat to your beats and some spice to your slice. A new board's on its way!

- Shard of Conquest
- Shard of Cunning
- Shard of Ancients
- Shard of Savagery
