Infinity Wars - Animated Trading Card Game News

[h3]Revelations is now live![/h3]
All Revelations cards are now available to play. Check them out on the deckbuilder now!
We are thrilled to present our latest set featuring 100 new cards, including 40+ multifaction cards and the new Recall mechanic.
Various micro-rifts have opened across the worlds of Infinity Wars, enabling contact, conflict, and cooperation between all factions without the need to traverse the Old World.
Revelations is where things truly begin to escalate and become much more intricate as new threats rise and fall. You can find all the new cards on the Official Wiki, in the deckbuilder, or in the Revelations Spoiler channel in our discord. Also, check out Platform_Disciple's Youtube where he's done some impressive Revelations Card reviews of the entire set!
We are very excited to see all the new cards in action and want to thank again our amazing kickstarter backers that have made this possible.



[h2]Major Features[/h2]

[h3]Kickstarter Rewards[/h3]
The first wave of Revelations Kickstarter rewards has been granted to all our amazing backers that filled in the backer survey.
If you filled in your survey only in the last day or two, we’ll be doing another wave next week.
If you either have not filled out your survey or given incorrect details about you IWC account name, we will be contacting you soon to allow you to get your rewards as soon as possible.
Be sure to check out our "kickstarter_rewards_help" channel on discord if you have any questions or concerns.

[h3]Revelation Packs[/h3]
Revelation penta packs are now available on the store, replacing the previously available Intrigue packs. If you want access to coloured versions of new set, this is one of the best ways to get that.

[h3]New Prestige Pass System[/h3]
Every player can now switch between different set/season passes allowing you to choose the type of progression of items you wish. Those who had already progressed through a current prestige pass keep their current progress on that, allowing you to switch to another, or switch back to continue progressing if you have not yet completed it.
The Intrigue Prestige Pass will remain the default long term pass, while each new set will get slightly shorter reward paths to progress.
Previously, the levelling system for prestige pass progressed in sync with your main level, but now each prestige pass progresses at its own rate based on that pass' levelling up model. This means that you can progress faster/slow on a prestige pass than your main level.
A small level progression display is now shown on the match result screen at the end of a match, showing the user their current progression for the current selected pass.
You currently only get prestige pass progression from XP received after playing a game (inc. Quest completion), and not from features such as Daily Login Rewards. This is due to some UI and technical limits we'll be re-evaluating in the future.

[h3]New Store Rotation[/h3]
New items are now available in the store, including previously unseen alternate art bundles, each bundle will be available for two weeks only, and the store will rotate each Friday, so be sure to check back each week.
The Intrigue Full set single pack is also now available for the first time, giving you access to a single colour copy of each of Intrigue’s 100 unique cards.
Finally, we have also made some adjustments to our Player Titles, adding more comedic and personalised titles in future store rotations to help players tailor their profile to their liking.

[h3]Badge System[/h3]
Announced during the Intrigue kickstarter, the Profile Badge system is finally here, with different rarity icons that can be displayed on your profile. This system is still in its early stages but you can now finally use our amazing new kickstarter exclusive badges via the profile page.


[h2]Minor Features[/h2]
[h3]New Full Set Pack Opening[/h3]
Massive improvements have been made to our Full Set Packs, which now have new graphics and UI layout for opening that isn’t just a text list. They also have new box art thanks to the amazing Nick.

[h3]Wording consistency updates[/h3]
Dozens of cards have had spelling fixes, grammar fixes, or wording changes to make similar cards more consistently worded or better reflect how they actually work ingame.

[h3]Revealed Card updates[/h3]
Cards that target your hand or deck now more consistently apply VFX and communicate when they are revealed to your opponent. Essentially the rule of thumb is that single target hand cards will get revealed (like Fiery Ascension) or any card that explicitly reveals (like Wild Hunt.) Cards like Dark Wish that target the deck however will not reveal the card to the opponent unless their card text state’s otherwise.
Thanks to WhatIfFred for helping compile a list of incorrect reveals for us.

[h3]Leaderboard Reward Changes[/h3]
Our monthly Leaderboard rewards system has been updated to better reflect that the leaderboard for dedication of play, and not currently connected to MMR or other competitive ranking system. This is our first pass on this system and we’ll continue to make updates should they improve player experience.
These changes include:
- The amount of gold granted has been increased
- The “Player of the Month” titles has been changed to “Most Dedicated [month][year]”. This is a retroactive change.
- A special cardback for top 10 players each month will be available soon (this cardback doesn’t change each month.)
Check the leaderboard for more details.

[h3]Changes to Copy vs Exact Copy[/h3]
Fixed inconsistencies between “create copy” and “create exact copy” where the former would sometimes carry across additional effects. Also fixed issues with exact copy and its interactions with cards like Humble, and the Command Zone’s haste effect.

[h3]Balance Changes[/h3]
No Balance Changes in this patch.
Revelations cards will be receiving a post-release balance patch in 1-2 weeks to address urgent issues identified by our internal testers and the wider playerbase.
A regular balance patch will be made next month, which will include a broader range of cards and go through our normal Patreon polling process.

Back now for exclusive rewards!

Hey Rift Runners, this is a quick update going out to our IW1 players about us now being live for the Revelations Kickstarter! 

After just 3 hours into our campaign and we already have over 20% of the funding goal!

Check out the video linked below for the introduction to the Kickstarter from AgentCoyle:


A thundering round of applause to all you wonderful players who have already pledged to our cause! You are the lifeblood of this project and every single pledge you make during the first few days injects a powerful surge of momentum into our campaign, propelling us higher up the algorithm and inspiring others to join in the action.

We are thrilled to present to you our latest Kickstarter campaign for "Revelations," the follow-up to our highly successful "Intrigue" set, which surpassed its Kickstarter goal by ~10k AUD and fulfilled all of its promises. "Revelations" is a multifaction-centric set featuring micro-rifts that have opened across various realms, enabling contact, conflict, and cooperation between all factions without the need to traverse the Old World.

The 100-card set includes 40 multifaction gold cards, showcasing a plethora of these new combinations and being adaptable to a range of decks. Many of these cards also provide archetype signposting for each combination, making it simple for new players to construct effective decks. If "Intrigue" established the new status quo, "Revelations" is where things truly begin to escalate and become much more intricate.

Here are some of the multifaction cards from the set:


... and for a preview of what you get at the $25AUD tier:
