We took the opportunity while Patch 0.18.5 was delayed in review to fix quite a few additional bugs. As we approach release, we hope to tighten things up more and more - really feeling pretty good about the direction that things are moving despite the delays.

Cards/Tuning
Bridgeway Troll cards made between Jul-22 and Aug-21 should be unmakeable at full value.
Bridgeway Troll
- 4(B) → 4(B)B
An early Bridgeway Troll created too many win conditions for mono-blue decks in the early game. This change is intended to slow that down just a bit.
Peri at the Gates
- 4[O]O → 4[O]
- 2/2 → 3/3
Overnerf! We originally changed Peri at the Gates because unrestricted draw was never supposed to be Orange’s strong suit, and the relatively easier recursion of minions combined with Peri’s draw 2 effect made Orange one of the best draw colors. However, a 4[O]O 2/2 that only draws one tanked the card’s winrate more than intended, so decided to give it something back this patch.
Q-Mode Tuning
Q-mode players can see the changes in the q-mode working doc
