0.8.2-EarlyAccess! Build Change Notes - February 1st, 2025

BALANCE CHANGES

• Old -> 2 Mana 2/3
• New -> 2 Mana 2/2 Hansel and Gretel pack a huge punch in the early game, the 1 less Attack Power point in Hansel should make him feel more fair and less like a blind play.

• Old -> 1 Mana 1/1
• New -> 1 Mana 1/0 Beggar Woman is the clutch card. 1 Cost, card draw, what else could you ask for? She's the most played card from the starter deck outside of the Giant. Bringing her to 0 Attack Power gives her the cycle you still want but takes up a body on the field. Maybe there's a way to bring that 1 power back to her?

• Old -> 4 Mana 2/3
• New -> 4 Mana 2/5 Talking Cat is a wonderful card and we really love its ability, however, its poor statline makes it one of the first cards cut from the starter deck, this change might help those numbers.

• Old -> 3 Mana - Discard both players hands. They each draw 4 cards.
• New -> 5 Mana - Discard both players hands. They each draw 3 cards. Mirrored Fate is a fun card. Dropping your entire hand into Bluebeard to send your entire hand out is a great feeling... if you're the one playing it. We've heard your concerns. Mirrored Fate is now a similar power level to Invoke Destruction but discarding the opponent's hand before Turn 6 is huge too.

• Old -> 2 Mana 1/1 - Channel: Your Characters with no effects or abilities gain +4 Attack Power.
• New -> 2 Mana 1/1 - Channel: Your Characters with no effects or abilities gain +3 Attack Power. The Knoist drop is a huge bonus value in an infestation/tombstone deck. The slight nerf should make the curve feel much more manageable against decks like this.

• Old -> 2 Mana 1/2 - On Play: If this is played at the left Realm, discard 2 Cards and draw 3 Cards.
• New -> 3 Mana 1/2 - On Play: If this is played at the left Realm, discard 2 Cards and draw 3 Cards. Reducing Little Match Girl's discard potency did not stop the fear of the discard. Moving her to 3 mana might where you cant play her with Bluebeard on Turn 6. We'll continue to monitor her but we feel that Discard may need one more big card that lets people play it a different way, too.

• Old -> 6 Mana 5/4 - On Play: Your cards with Channel gain +2 Attack Power. +1 Attack Power for each Swabian card played this game.
• New -> +3 Attack Power for each Swabian card played this game. Swabian decks are just plain fun to play. The reward and dopamine you feel when you play 3+ Swabians need to feel as fun as the decks are. We're making it easier for Schulz to reach 10+ power due to how hard it is to play this deck.
