Mythgard News

We took the opportunity while Patch 0.18.5 was delayed in review to fix quite a few additional bugs. As we approach release, we hope to tighten things up more and more - really feeling pretty good about the direction that things are moving despite the delays.

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

[h3]Cards/Tuning[/h3]
Bridgeway Troll cards made between Jul-22 and Aug-21 should be unmakeable at full value.

Bridgeway Troll

• 
  4(B) → 4(B)B
  

An early Bridgeway Troll created too many win conditions for mono-blue decks in the early game. This change is intended to slow that down just a bit.

Peri at the Gates

• 
  4[O]O → 4[O]
  
• 
  2/2 → 3/3
  

Overnerf! We originally changed Peri at the Gates because unrestricted draw was never supposed to be Orange’s strong suit, and the relatively easier recursion of minions combined with Peri’s draw 2 effect made Orange one of the best draw colors. However, a 4[O]O 2/2 that only draws one tanked the card’s winrate more than intended, so decided to give it something back this patch.

[h3]Q-Mode Tuning[/h3]
Q-mode players can see the changes in the q-mode working doc

Mythgard servers will be offline to deploy our latest patch tomorrow, 8/21, at 9 am PT. Estimated downtime is approximately 3hr.

Please note that mobile users may experience additional downtime based on their platform and region.

The highlights for Patch 0.18.4.x include: a minor (but it feels very significant!) change to a small number of combat keywords, major bug fixes to how the 2v2 rules are implemented, a fix to an extremely annoying bug that got introduced last patch when we rewired the deck editor, and a large batch of tuning changes to Rings of Immortality cards (as well as six new cards added based on feedback from the testers.

I really want to give my heartfelt thanks to the Q-mode testers for their diligent testing and bug reporting. We’ve made a massive number of improvements and tweaks in the last few weeks, and with their help, I’m feeling better and better about the quality bar that we’ll hit when we release the expansion. More than that, it’s been very fun interacting with you all on such a close basis. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[h3]Cards/Tuning[/h3]
Cloud Pilar Peak

• 
  While occupied, friendly players draw an extra card each turn → you
  

Context: This change only impacts 2v2. Now that the 2v2 rules are working better, it reverts the “throne” cycle of enchantments to encourage middle-lane contests.

  While occupied, friendly players draw an extra card each turn → you
  

Context: See Cloud Pilar Peak

Spirit Stones

• 
  When occupying minion dies, deal 1 damage to your opponent. If the minion was a Spirit, return an enemy minion in the opposing lane to owner’s hand → banish the enemy minion in the opposing lane.
  

Context: It wasn’t clear whether the minion first lost Ephemeral because Spirit Stones was unoccupied or was returned to the owner’s hand before Ephemeral was removed.

Temple at Delphi

• 
  While occupied, friendly players draw an extra card each turn → you
  

Context: See Cloud Pilar Peak

Treasury of Petra

• 
  While occupied, friendly players draw an extra card each turn → you

As we get close to the expansion release (woo hoo!), we’re re-enabling a feature from Alpha: Q-Mode. This mode lets players marked with the “External Tester” badge play around with the expansion cards for bug testing and balance feedback.

Before anyone gets too worried - we’re much closer to art completion than what you’ll see when you first enable q-mode. The card art is over 80% done at this point, but still needs to be framed and put into the game. Most of the visuals and sound effects are also still being worked on as well!

[h3]Cards/Tuning[/h3]
All Father’s Horn, Scion of Pride, and Temptation should be unmakeable at full value if crafted between 6/1/2020 and patch release.

Allfather’s Horn

• 6(B)B → 7(B)B
  

Mess with Norden and we get the horns. Clearly these alcoholic allfathers cannot be stopped, but perhaps they can be slowed down.

Pride of Place (generated by Scion of Pride)

• 
  1[O] → 2[O]
  

(See Scion of Pride context notes)

Scion of Pride

• 
  Overrun → Removed
  

Scion was granted Overrun on top of its core abilities and value at a time when we were searching for more ways to circumvent defenses and end games, likely before the power of lions was fully understood. Alongside a slight bump to the cost of Pride of Place, this should tone down one of the most dominant maned minions.

Temptation

• 
  Take control of an enemy minion with mana cost (5) or less that is opposite an unoccupied lane. and give it [Rush] until end of turn... → At the end of your next turn, return it to owner's hand with its mana cost reduced by (4) permanently
  

The hope is that without relying on Rush and as much surprise, it’ll fit more naturally into the flow of turns, but pushing the time tempted out so that you can still get an attack in.
