Infinity Wars - Animated Trading Card Game News

It's time for another Community card set! In case you missed our announcments, here's the rundown:

Cryptonomics - 4 Cost - Mission
When you Deploy Cryptonomics, increase your maximum resources by 2.
At the end of turn, this becomes 25% more complete.
When Cryptonomics is 100% complete, decrease your maximum resources by 7 and discard your Hand.

Infernal Potato - 2 Cost - Artifact
Pay 1, Exhaust: Your opponent gains control of Infernal Potato.
At the end of turn, if Infernal Potato wasn't activated or Deployed this turn, it deals 5 damage to your Fortress and you discard a random card.

Behold My Brilliant Plan - 3 Cost - Ability
Deal 3 damage to an enemy Character. If that kills it, draw a card. Then, if you have 9 or more cards in your Hand, steal 10 morale from your opponent and afflict them with sorrow. If this reduces them to 10 or less morale, instantly win the game.

Mathilda "Mads" Fianna - 8 Cost - Unique Human Character
3/21
Pay 4, Overcharge: Draw 2 cards. Activate only once per turn.
While Mads is Deployed, whenever you would draw a card from an empty Deck, your opponent loses 10 morale instead of you.
You can play Mads from the Graveyard.

Puffy - 1 Cost - Unique Fish Character
1/6
At the end of turn, if Puffy is in Play or in your Hand, Puffy chooses a card you can afford from your deck's purities to replace the top card of your Deck. Then, if you have played 8 or more of Puffy's cards, it reveals its true form.

All who witness it quake in fear. None can save you.

2024 has been ramping up to be a great year for Infinity Wars! A lot of fantastic times are abound, and a lot has already happened, so we wanted to go over all of it with a post!



A couple of weeks ago we had a new patch and we gave some nice polish to help modernize our game's interface! The menu and both the mid-match interface both received some love! While a new fresh look is always exciting, there's always more to be done! Be on the lookout for more quality of life improvements that will be occurring soon!



We're back again with another week of Sanctuary Socials... but with a slight twist!

In the past Sanctuary Socials where new cards release, we've had AgentCoyle show off that new content. This time around we're going to hand the wheel to our other hosts in the SaSo cycle! Later this week Saturday at 8pm EST, we're going to have Gameipedia hosting this week's stream, so be sure to show up! So be sure to join and try out the new cards for yourself!

Like with every other Sanctuary Social, if you log in you'll get to experience reduced queue times, obtain a free Stamped edition of a cool card, and another set of mutators to augment you and your opponent's gameplay!

We hope to see you this weekend!!!



As a reminder, we teased the new cards yesterday in another steam post! There are some fun ones to try and flex your creative deckbuilder muscles! We go a bit more in depth about each of the cards in the linked article if you want to learn more about them!





All of these wondrous updates, new cards, and events, are bought to you by our amazing Patrons, as well as our most active players and backers like you! A Huge thanks to all of you who support us and what we do. If you want to join the campaign to bring death to Pay to Win in card games, consider joining the Patreon Campaign, where you get SO MANY DANG PACKS, well eclipsing the cost of signing up!

Our April community set, April Fools, has arrived! This set leans into the whimsy of the holiday and gives players the opportunity to flex their creative deckbuilding muscles with these five new cards! If you're excited by what you see, then these cards will be available for you to try on Saturday, 7:30 EST! Right before the next Sanctuary Social begins (with a non-Coyle host to show off these new cards we're excited to announce tomorrow!).





Cryptonomics boosts your resources to an unprecedented level! Ramping up has never been more efficient as you can jump straight to playing your 7+ Resource cards right away after playing this, there's virtually no downside!

“With this invention, prosperous time beyond our comprehension are abound! We've gone to the moon, why stop ther-"





This is for the players out there when total victory isn’t enough; sometimes you have to make your opponent lose. Behold My Brilliant Plan is a Factionless card that can slot into any deck. While the damage isn’t the most exciting for the card’s cost, this rock of a card being able to replace itself is a nice little side bonus. The real icing of the cake on this card is the ability to achieve ultimate glory with this niche alternate win condition. While the condition is incredibly difficult to satisfy, even nigh-impossible to accomplish, some players may chase the dream of having a brilliant plan all come together.

Yobo always murmured to himself, “When I find the perfectly small rock-sized boulder, the time of day is right, the sun gets in Boyo’s eyes…”

Through sheer luck, Yobo would eventually learn the lesson of "Not letting perfect be the enemy of good."





Puffy is back from retirement following a long and storied career of assisting with countless practice battles! Now, following the path of Puffy will lead you to destinations you've never seen before. Your friend Puffy will work hard to give you the perfect* card to play every single turn!

(*Puffy believes in the potential contained within every single Infinity Wars card.)

--
According to legends whispered across the worlds, in the deepest darkest rifts, lay a creature of the abyss that’s so abominable and-- Oh it’s just Puffy. Sure things get weird around Puffy sometimes… but that’s not Puffy's fault, right? Everyone loves Puffy.





Mads is our newest dual-Faction Sleeper of Avarrach and Genesis Industry character. She can help you improve your consistency by ditching the weakest card in your hand and giving you a whole two brand new cards. In addition to this, if you’ve dug through your deck long enough, Mads herself can provide you an alternate win condition by draining your opponent's morale!

Your opponent will eventually find out that keeping her truly dead will be difficult! As she’s a recursive threat you can always replay from your graveyard!

--
"I wish Mads listened to me.

She would never listen to me."





Ever wanted to play a tennis match against your opponent? Now’s the time with this hot vegetable! Pinch your opponent’s plays by forcing them to spend resources to throw this potato back at you. If you don’t want to immediately throw it back to them that’s fine, you're playing Exiles, you probably looove discarding cards! It’s a win/win scenario!






This sets of card releases, and many other wonderful aspects of our game are brought to you thanks to our amazing Patrons, as well as our most active players and backers. A Huge thanks to all of you who support us and what we do. If you want to join the campaign to bring death to Pay to Win in card games, consider joining the Patreon Campaign, where you get SO MANY DANG PACKS, well eclipsing the cost of signing up!
