September Balance changes

Hello Stormbound!

We don't want you to get bored with the meta, thus why, we've decided to welcome the new season with a few balance changes (more coming soon, in a big update).


Patch info:


NEUTRAL
Emerald Towers now have 4/5/5/6/7 strength (instead of 3/4/4/5/6).

Bladestorm’s ability now deals 1/2/2-3/3/4 damage (instead of 1/1-2/2/2-3/3), making it more compelling at level 5.

Flooding the Gates now costs 4 mana (instead of 5). It is unclear whether that will increase the popularity of this card at all however.

Unhealthy Hysteria now costs 3 mana (instead of 2) and its ability now targets a unit with at most 4/5/6/7/8 strength.

Hunter’s Vengeance now costs 2 mana at every level (instead of 3 at level 1 to 3) and its ability now deals 2/3/4/5/6 damage (instead of 2/3/4/4/5 damage).

Crazy Bombers now cost 8 mana (instead of 9) and their strength now is 6/7/9/11/13. This might mean this card gets to be used outside of mana ramp decks.

Harvesters of Souls now cost 5 mana (instead of 6). Hopefully a way to make this interesting community-designed card more prominent in the meta.

Terrific Slayers now have 2/3/4/5/6 strength (instead of 1/2/3/4/5).

Dangerous Suitors now cost 6 mana (instead of 7) and has 4/5/6/8/10 strength (instead of 5/7/7/10/10).



IRONCLAD
Unstable Build now has 5/6/7/8/9 strength (instead of 4/5/6/7/8), which essentially grants it an extra turn at levels 1, 3 and 5 (provided it does not receive other damage).

Fortification Tonic now costs 2 mana at every level (instead of 3 at level 1 to 3) and its ability now grants 2/3/4/5/6 strength (instead of 2/3/4/4/5).



WINTER
Underground Spring now has 4/5/7/8/10 strength (instead of 4/5/6/7/8), and its ability is 1/1-2/1-2/2/2 (instead of 1 at every level).
