New Feature - Deck Slots: You can now have more than one multiplayer deck per hero. Deck slots cost 3500 gold.
New Mode - Story: Currently contains the first 3 tutorial matches, which have been redesigned. Tutorial progress has been reset.
New Keyword - Agile: Allows a unit to attack the turn it enters play
Balance Changes
- Buluc’s Passive now gives 2 EXP
- Vriktik’s level 5 reward is now "Create a copy of the first unit to die each turn"
- Lizabo Thief now has Agile instead of “Summon: This attacks.”
Out-of-Game Draft Changes
- Now costs 750 Gold
- Always drafts blueprints
- Includes a random amount of additional Amber (average 100 per draft)
- Duplicates of blueprints you already own may appear in the draft. When they do, you’ll automatically be credited additional Amber instead of being able to pick the card.
First Win of the Day bonus has been reduced to 250 Gold.
- "Alpha First PVP Win of the Day" bonus remains 250 Gold.
AI Improvements - the AI will now use removal, Active abilities, attacking and blocking somewhat intelligently.
Brilliance has been removed. Existing cards have been updated to read “When you level up…”. Dev Note: We removed this because it is almost never used, and because it can be replaced with a simple triggered ability.
New “VS” screen at the beginning of games
Golden cards now have a special animation when played in game.
Cards highlighted to be clickable should now always be clickable
Editor:
- A new set of animations are available, all of which involve throwing 3d models of items at the target.
- New Blocks
  - Random Card from Outside the Game - Gets a random blueprint from all cards in the game. Has filters for mana cost, card type, and tribal type.
  - Contains Word
- New Trigger Types
  - Drawing cards - for players and globally. They occur anytime a card moves from a deck to the hand.
  - Beginning of Game - useful for effects like Hive Mind Queen
- All color pickers now have an eyedropper tool. Click on the color picker, then click on the canvas to select the hovered color.
- Despite not being officially supported, we have added some small improvements to the editor on phones. The art editor is still unsupported.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed bug where Thanksgiving Turkey didn't prevent units dying to Honeypot Ant Brew
Known issues with this patch
- You can’t rename deckslots. This will be available in the next patch.
- The blueprint draft button should not be on the hero select screen because it doesn’t have any specific relevance to a hero. For now, this is where the button is, but by the next patch we will move it somewhere else.
- The art in the opening cutscene for story level 1 (“Pilot”) is a work in progress. The artist (MysticFox) was hired recently and hasn’t had enough time to do the final pass. By the next patch they should be finalized.
- Music choices for the tutorial are incomplete, we are looking to get additional music which fits certain cutscenes better.
- Story levels 4-9 are planned, but not implemented yet. This is the majority of work for the next patch.
- Campaign mode is disabled until two patches from now, when we will release an expanded version of the mode.
