What's New
* New Hero: Shozen, the Wanderer
* Manessa nerf - key cards in certain Manessa builds have been changed to encourage a greater diversity of strategies
* Gameplay Revisions - changes to leveling and matchmaking, so new bosses get raided sooner and hopefully matches that are more fair
* DLC Starter Pack added to Steam Store Page
* More card art
* Bug fixes and card balance changes
Gameplay Revisions
We have made some changes to matchmaking. The amount you raid now has a smaller influence on how often you are raided back. This should increase the number of players who receive raids overall. There have been a number of balance changes and bug fixes.
* Compressed Level progression to only 5 levels, requiring half as much experience earned as the 15 levels required previously
* Matchmaking now limits maximum weighting of raid credits to increase distribution and frequency of raids
* Matchmaking now uses a single rating rather than separate ratings for Offense and Defense to limit variance
New Wizardry Hero

Cards Unlocked for Shozen only
* Elemental Repair (Common Utility Spell)
* Spirit Artifact (Rare Healing Offhand)
* Breath of Innervation (Rare Utility Spell)

* Ethereal Compass (Rare Utility Offhand)
* Stormbringer (Epic Multi-Attack Weapon)

New Starter Pack
Starter Pack DLC was added to the Steam store. It's meant to be a good deal for new players who would like to help support Labyrinth development. It might even make sense for existing players. The Starter Pack includes Sarkhet, Siegebreaker, and 15 Card Packs for $19.99. If you have Sarkhet or Siegebreaker already, you will get the Gold equivalent. There is a launch discount of 10% right now too.
