Update 0.6.1 is here and brings with it some quality of life improvements, card and deck balancing, and RANKED MODE!
Full details below 👇
New Features:
Skip The Tutorial In Settings
We know many of you have already been through the tutorial (some of you multiple times), so this one's for you!
Ranked Ladder
Have fun sweatin' it out. Grandmaster division has a world ranked leaderboard. How many of you fine folks will reach it?
Opponent Legendary Card Preview During Mulligan
You asked. We put it in. Don't say we never did nothin' for ya.
Mute Opponent Toggle
Not too many of you asked for this one yet, but we wanted to get ahead of the toxic emote spam trend before it had a chance to take off.
Created Card Source
Created cards now show what created them.
Card & Deck Balancing:
Huntsman
4 Mana 4/4 → 6 Mana 6/6
We're continuing to watch how Huntsman performs and may revisit his cost, stats, or ability further in a future update.
Swarm Deck
Removed First Aid, added Mowgli
Players (and us) noticed Swarm felt thin in the mid-to-late game. Swapping in Mowgli in place of a cheap spell should help build toward a stronger late-game hand.
Evil Deck
Removed Count Orlok from deck and game, added Bandersnatch
Count Orlok has been temporarily swapped out while we address an issue with his ability. He'll be back once it's resolved.
Discard Deck
Removed Genie, added Mind Palace
Discard has been underperforming compared to other decks. Genie was getting in the way of reliably discarding Koschei, so we've swapped him for Mind Palace, a cheaper card-draw option.
Locations
We 've adjusted the progression of locations and when they can first appear. The goal is to introduce keywords on cards before you encounter them on locations, making things a little smoother to learn.
Bug fixes
- Deathtouch now applies to On Death abilities
- Cards and abilities that summon random cards will no longer summon incomplete cards
Known Bugs For 0.6.1
The VP (Victory Point) display goes a bit haywire once you reach Grandmaster division. We know. We're working on a fix internally, but it didn't make this update.
