Cards can now be permanently unlocked for your account by buying their blueprint in the Deck Workshop
New Currency: Amber - earned when you destroy cards you’ve drafted
Once you’ve unlock the blueprint for a card, you can obtain unlimited copies of it for any of your decks at the low price of 5 Amber per copy.
All drafts have a small chance to be a Blueprint Draft, which will unlock the chosen card permanently for your account.
The workshop UI look and feel will continue to be improved, but we felt players would prefer we release the system sooner rather than wait till its polished.

There is now a 100 Amber daily login bonus. This bonus is doubled on Fridays, to coincide with the release of new cards.
You now only keep one drafted card per game. You can no longer remove cards from your deck at the end of a game.
When a card you created is added to the Collection, you’ll unlock the blueprint immediately and your copies of that card will have a golden frame
You can now draft from the main menu using 50 Gold or 40 Amber. Amber earned from main menu drafts is doubled if you don’t keep a card.
The maximum deck size has increased to 300
Hero Changes

Dev note: Level 5 abilities have generally been easier to get to than we originally expected. At the same time, we’ve heard players would prefer Heroes’ final ability be more of a win condition, like Buluc’s previous ult was. Our intent with this change is to bring Buluc’s ult in line with the other existing heroes. Heroes released in the future will have more powerful level 5 abilities, but those heroes will require more EXP to reach level 5.

The turn timer is now tracked by the server. Reconnecting will no longer reset the turn timer. This fixed some bugs associated with the client-side timer not working as intended.

If you run out of time while drafting, the game will choose a random card to keep

Cards you would draw when your hand is full are discarded
Drafts you would make while your hand is full are skipped
Testing a card in editor mode while your hand is full will discard the right-most card in your hand.

Summon abilities will now appear after keywords, but before all other abilities on cards
Wild Cannibal’s Active now only has an effect if its target was alive
Uppercut no longer checks if you have a unit with <2 ATK before you can play it
Removed the extra rule in campaign mode where you get 4 copies of cards you draft.
Cards have improved 3D visual appearance
The wording of the majority of the cards added to the game so far has been reworked. Huge thanks to Lucco1 for help with this.
Editor

Added Shuffle Deck step
You can now rearrange the order of steps using the up and down arrows in the top left corner of each block
Passive abilities can no longer contain steps that aren’t meant for passives
“Until” conditions are hidden on these steps
Existing cards aren’t automatically updated but should continue to work as before. If you see a step inside a passive ability with “Choose…” selected, you should update that step to use one of the new passive-specific steps.
Blocks that use operators (“Compare Things”, “Compare Numbers”, etc.) now restrict the operators in the dropdown to ones that work with that block.
Fixed an issue where including certain Hero reward cards in a “Create Card” step would cause testing the card to fail
Fixed an issue where switching between columns with comments wouldn’t update the comment at the top
