At the last minute we’ve added a whole heap of new cards in the game, effectively doubling the card count since the last Beta Showdown and almost reaching a full set in the Arcane and Beast Hunter factions. We’ve also made some tweaks to core gameplay mechanics including Mana, Golem Health, and Hand Size.
There are plenty of new strategies to test out and we look forward to your reactions. Please head to our Discord server with any questions or Feedback.
