This patch focuses on a visual update for all card colors -it’s now much easier to tell what color a card is! Some pesky bugs have also been dealt with (players now automatically concede after a few minutes afk, a timer bug causing turns to sometimes not end when the turn timer expires, and the expiration timer for the High-Five mission is now correctly shown). Check the website for news about some cool events taking place during the rest of the month.

Cards/Tuning
Celestial (keyword tag)
- → Removed
It’s not yet referenced by any other mechanic, so this just makes Ourania Muse and Máni, Queen of Tides Muses while dodging the unspoken implication that Celestial Dragon’s name and tags should be identical (thereby driving Xeneth insane).
Incubation Chamber
- Minions created in
and occupyingthis lane have Armor 2 and Stunned until the end of your next turn, but get +3/+3 afterwards → This effect is cancelled if the minion leaves early
This is actually just a card text change to clarify the current mechanics.
Kára Mourningwives
- Gets +1/+1 when
your opponent creates a minion→ an enemy minion is created
A text-only change to reflect the way she already works in 2v2.
Meso Libre
- Awaken: The minion in the opposite lane is Stunned until the end of its → next turn
Another text-based change intended to clarify the length of the effect in cases where he gets created out of turn.
Rogue Idolon
- Renamed from Rogue Vocaloid.
Sovereign Architect
- Create a 2/2 Imp with [Agile] in
one of your unoccupied lanes→ a friendly unoccupied lane
More flexibility in 2v2, where individual spells and spell-like effects can be more interesting if they synergize with your ally. This also lines up nicely with the “Ved’ma air drop” mechanics implied by how Academy Recruitment plays.
