Update v0.11 - Release Notes

Version 0.11 is now live for existing beta testers! Here’s what we’ve updated:

New 1st / 2nd Turn Mechanic

One of the things you’ll notice in this update is a new Bag of Tricks card. This new version aims to improve balance and eliminate unfair competitive advantages which support players based on whether they play first or second.

In designing this system we asked, “how can we take systems found in other TCGs and reduce how heavily playing first or second impacts the win rate of specific decks.”

In the new system we designed, the first player gets to choose between 3 cards in their Mulligan, and receives a Small Bag of Tricks. The second player gets to choose between 4 cards in their Mulligan and receives a Large Bag of Tricks.

We wanted first and second players to have very similar tools. If your deck relies on boosting out a 6 mana creature on turn 6, you should be able to do that without having to go first. If you need a lot of cards in hand to pull off a combo, you shouldn't feel bad when you're selected to go first. We think this new system will go far in accomplishing our set goals.

We have had lots of great ideas on how to ensure the second player gets a fair chance whilst keeping it simple for new players and sufficiently deep for more experienced players. Please share your feedback with the design team!

New Keyword: Leech

A creature with Leech heals its controlling God for Health equal to the damage dealt. If an attacking creature with leech has more attack than a defending creature has health, the attacking creature will only heal its god for the defending creatures lost health.

New Keyword: Ward

Cards with Ward are protected from 1 enemy spell or god power effect.
If the source of an effect is a spell or god power, it does nothing to the card with Ward. If the source is a creature or relic, it is affected as normal. When a creature with ward is impacted by an enemy or friendly god, the spell or god power will be successfully fire, but no effect that impacts the creature will occur for the duration of the spell resolving. Once the spell or god power has resolved, Ward is removed from the creature.

If a spell has two simultaneous effects on the target, Ward will block both of them.

Ward will only protect a unit when it is on the board; it will not protect card in your Void, deck or hand.

Ward will not protect your units from your own spells or effects. For example, a spell with "Deal 2 damage to a creature, the destroy everything on the board." if all creatures on both sides of the board had Ward. All enemy creatures would be unaffected and all friendly creatures would be destroyed, no matter the target.

Ward does not stack.

New Keyword: The Chosen One

An example of a chosen one effect is: "Give the Chosen One +2/+2."

When a “Chosen One” effect is played and there is no chosen one in any of the player's zones, a creature in your deck is selected as the “Chosen One”. The +2/+2 effect will then be aimed at the Chosen One.

If that effect were to be played a second time and the chosen one is in any of the player's zones it will still target that creature.

A creature loses “The Chosen One” when they are killed, as destroying a creature resets a card to its default state.

If the chosen one is obliterated for any reason, it loses the chosen one.
