Card Changes
Repurpose –Unaligned Spell - 0 mana. BLIGHT target ally unit, then destroy it. DRAW 2.
Formerly cost 2, did not BLIGHT the target unit and had DRAW 3.
Being unaligned, this card was seriously abused, and gave a massive early game swing when combined with the Scaled Martyr. This should increase the value of Nature’s Bounty.
Jelly– Token- RESPAWN: [0/1] Jelly.
Formerly, this token was a [1/1] Jelly.
This is the number one, most played, card in Dragon Front. It was in almost every deck, and we want other respawn and low cost cards to shine. A 1 cost with Respawn, is already a great value.
Clockwork Drake--Unaligned Unit – 7/4/4 unit with FLIGHT and a board-damaging Spawn
Formerly 6/5/4.
The cost of a solid flight unit, combined with dealing one damage to the battlefield cost way too low for its true value. Also, being unaligned, made this too prevalent in constructed decks. Lastly, we needed to make this change to balance future cards.
Catalyst – Silence Spell – 2 mana: Deal 5 damage to a POISONED unit.
Formerly cost 3 mana
We reduced the mana cost to 2 in order to make this card worth slotting in a deck and encourage more Poison decks. It’s not that hard to get a unit POISONED, but it does take work in order to set this card up. Plus Killing Stroke, which is also a 3 cost rare, is one less damage without the required set-up.
We reduced the mana cost to 3 to make this card better valued and encourage poison synergy. Again, this has some work to set this up so we’ll reduce the cost. This is basically a STUN and deal 2 damage to poisoned units as the opposing units will have to wait 2 turns to act while the poison runs its course.
Fast Leak– Unaligned Spell – 3 mana: DRAIN 2.
Formerly included DRAW 1
We removed the DRAW element as the card is already powerful, and we felt that the extra card draw wasn’t merited.
Feedback Murmur– Unaligned Fort – 4 mana: The first enemy non-Champion unit played by your opponent each turn costs [1] additional mana.
Formerly cost 3 mana
We raised the cost on this to 4 because it is an unaligned card, and was seeing an incredible win rate.
Focused Obliteration – Delirium Spell – 3 mana: Destroy an ally Starling unit in ally territory and deal damage equal to its Power to the opponent's Stronghold.
Formerly did not specify ally territory
We changed this to target units in allied territory, so a player couldn’t hit a the opponent’s stronghold AND then deliver more direct stronghold damage.
Blaze of Glory – Strife Spell – 5 mana: Grant an ally unit +3/+3 until the end of the turn, then destroy it.
Formerly cost 4 mana
We raised the cost to 5 as it is an unexpected +3 damage when given to flight units, potentially +6 on giants. It had one of the best win rates in the game, and we want to give opponent’s more opportunity to counter these kind of devastating attacks.
I tried the single player campaign but I couldn't advance with the default starter deck. It seems that to beat single player you still gotta spend RL Money to up the deck. Unless that has changed recently.
@Zenbane The most recent update nerfed a few of the conquest matches we felt were proving too OP, but the designers assure me that the whole conquest mode can be beaten with the Base Decks. A few players have verified this as well. Join us on the discord if you'd like some tips! https://discord.gg/6WBqg4C
Those nerfed battles if you're curious: Steelgate Keep Shifting Sands Hereford Glenn Broken Boughs
Yes, this is muucchh better! Before the update I was never able to win even the first battle with Scales against Silence. After the update, I just beat the entire Scales vs Silence campaign.
It was still difficult, but the right kind of difficult. I had to work hard to construct a deck that could take me to victory. Plus my wins were very close and exciting.
Good stuff, I look forward to working on the other campaigns.
