Update 05/17/2024

This update requires that the newest version of the Deckbuilder be downloaded. Please see the Resources page for the newest build.

Tech Refactor

This update we've started the Tech refactor. Every card has been assigned a Tech Level, and card costs, effects, and attack and health have been rebalanced across the board. Please note this means there are once again too many changes to list, as we've had to start effectively from scratch once again. However, we think the changes are well worth the extra hassle!

Prophets Redesign

Because of the Tech update, we've decided it's the perfect time to address the Prophets. Previously, they had been playing fine but lacked a lot in the flavor department. The Ritual mechanic was just a roundabout way of paying for things, and was a holdover from when the game had a different card draw mechanic. So, we've scrapped the entire faction, mechanics and all, and rebuilt it from a more thematic base with more coherent mechanics that better reflect the game as it is today!

New Keywords

The Prophets rework has brought with it 3 new keywords, and an update to the Swarm has brought with it a fourth. These keywords are:

• Evolve X: When you play a permanent with Evolve, you may sacrifice a warrior and pay X minus the sacrificed warrior's energy cost (to a minimum of 0) rather than pay that permanent's energy cost.
• Glory: Whenever a warrior with Glory destroys another warrior, its Glory effect triggers.
• Martyr: Whenever a warrior with Martyr is sacrificed or is destroyed while blocking, its Martyr effect triggers.
• Mayhem: Whenever another permanent is put into the discard pile from the AO, Mayhem triggers.
