Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.78.0





Tutorial 2 is now available to play. Go to the Play screen to try it yourself.
We are hard at work to complete the rest of our initial 4 tutorials, with new mission builder systems to speed up this process in the future.

As part of our improved commitment to feedback from our Patreons. We have released a array of major and minor balance changes. All changes required a minimum average vote of 5/10 from our Patreons after being reviewed, with all changes passing with flying colours. We hope these changes shake up the meta in interesting ways, and tone down some of the most powerful or frustrating cards.


New packs available in the store, with weekly rotations for upcoming bundles!
Keep an eye out for new alt arts available by these bundles, as well as full set single packs.

Barrier is a new mechanic being showcased in the next set: Revelations.
Barrier (When a card with Barrier is dealt damage or is killed by a kill effect, instead it breaks a Barrier.)
We are adding this keyword primarily in DoD, and Genesis as a defensive option against both combat and kill effects, with it not being as repeatable as shield, or as permanent as effects like Flame Dawn Paladin.
You'll see more used of the keyword in the next upcoming expansion, which the team is really excited to showcase soon.


Now draws then shuffles.
Goal: Any change to a core gameplay system of IWC such as the Trading Post is not something to be changed lightly, this will very slightly increase the power of this option, but reduce negative experiences created by drawing the exact same card you shuffled away.

Draft Activation cannot be undone.
Goal: Keep the draft ability as a fun casual option for players at low/medium levels of play who want variety each game. But tone down the power of the card at high competitive play, as while it can still find finisher cards, you have to take one of the cards offered each time, no longer granting you a free peek at the options offered.
NOTE: If you cancel the choice or run out of time mid-choice, a card will be Drafted randomly.

Gains "You cannot play Calamity if another copy of this card is in your graveyard."
Goal: Re-adding IW1's Unique tag gameplay to Calamity, but spelled out explicitly to make it easier to understand. Multiple Calamities being cast each game has negatively impacted how control mirrors, and finisher cards play out, especially at a higher levels.

Base stats changed from 4/4 -> 3/3.
Goal: A minor nerf to bring down the early game power of Forerunner slightly. We knew the redesign as first released was pushed, but so was the pre-redesign card, and thus wanted to give the community a chance to try out the more powerful version before scaling it back if necessary. After seeing the card's results over the last month or so this is necessary. We'll continue to keep an eye on Forerunner's performance if/when this nerf is applied.

Card text changed to "When Symbiote Prototype enters the deployed area, if you control an Artifact, Symbiote Prototype gains Barrier 1."
Goal: Symbiote Prototype has consistently been requested as a card to receive a redesign, keeping the "artifact matters" element at a low purity but not actively conflicting with single target buffs. When adding the Barrier mechanic, we looked at if any old cards wanted to receive the new mechanic and Symbiote Prototype seemed like a natural fit. The card is still unlikely to see non-casual play, but will certainly be more interesting in upcoming modes like Rift Runs.

Wording/minor mechanical change.
"When Covert Battlesuit enters the deployed area, it gains Barrier 1. While Covert Battlesuit has Barrier, it has Untouchable."
Goal: Integrate the Barrier mechanic into a card that essentially already has it, just unkeyworded. Keeps the card playing the same in 95% of situations, only making it slightly more powerful if it gains Barrier due to some other effect.

Wording/minor mechanical change.
"Exhaust: Target Character you control gains Barrier 1 until end of turn."
Goal: Integrate the Barrier mechanic into a card that essentially already has it, just unkeyworded. Keeps the card playing the same in 90% of situations, only making it slightly more powerful if used to block kill effects or noncombat damage when you have initiative.

Can only raise artifacts or characters that cost 10 or less.
Goal: Raising artifacts from the graveyard into play was a previously unseen effect in Infinity War's cardbase. The resulting Omnitron decks have played poorly. Requiring very specific answers for often a low deckbuilding cost. This restriction will mean either reanimating other cards like Omnimind, AI Singularity, or playing enough artifacts to reduce Omnitron's cost to 10 or less.

Base stats changed from 1/1 -> 3/3.
When you Overcharge or discard a card, If The Big-anator is deployed, it gains +1/+1. (Previously +2/+2)
Goal: Big-ANATOR is an excellent "build-around" card that currently is just a little too swingy with mass overcharge or discard effects, especially when used in multiples. This could often be used for annoying OTK turns that created negative experiences. This minor modification to its stats will make the card more powerful with small amounts of discharge/overcharge, but not have it scale to such huge sizes as quickly.

Draw a card, then put the two left-most cards in your hand onto the bottom of your deck.
Goal: Filing Cabinet being a cheap factionless artifact that can be activated any number of times per turn could be abused with Overcharge matters cards which was not part of the card's goals. This change keeps the repeatable filtering aspect, but no longer works with cards like Hungry Abomination to create negative play experiences.

Added the 'Beast' subtype.
Goal: Most players due to the name and art already assumed it had this type, this change means reality lines up with expectations, while very minorly buffing a fun casual dual faction card.

• Removed duplicate card entries in the deckbuilder (Proctul Sniper, Devil of Despair).
  
• Fixed issues with deck cover art on deck displays in the main menu not properly updating.

• Fixed Deck cards showing modified stats when viewing the cards in the zone, resulting in the player receiving too much feedback on what position in the deck the card is in.
  
• Fixed the Graveyard viewing to reverse the order of the cards so that the top of the Graveyard is shown first.
  
• Fixed Keyword disabling to remove all card modifier instances of that keyword (This fixed Drag Down, Shattered Veil, Dive and Prowling Hunter sometimes not working properly).

If the controlled card had died, then it is moved to the opponents graveyard when Zuza leaves play or takes control of another card).
  
• Changed Rally and Unfazed inconsistently removing themselves at different times, due to removal being different from death. (Possible desync solve).
  
• Fixed Awaken's graveyard targeting not properly filtering out cards that can't be targeted.
  
• Added VFX Painful Lesson for improved player feedback.
  
• Added VFX's for the 'Replace Death' effects of the DoD Avatar Cards (Daode, Lingbao, Yuanshi).

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.77.





A significant number of changes have been made to the deckbuilder to make changing the card cosmetics and deckbuilding in general more satisfying.
[h4]Improved Card Decoration Selection[/h4]
You can now better select the exact card decoration/cosmetics you want for your deck cards. Clicking to zoom a card in the deck builder, whether that be from the selection grid or the current deck cards will show a list view on the left with the available cosmetic variations you own for that card.
[h4]Grid Decoration Cycling[/h4]
While hovering over a card display in the deck builder grid, you can cycle between all the available cosmetics for that card. Do this by using W/S keys, Up Arrow/Down Arrow or by holding Ctrl+Scrolling.
[h4]Filtering[/h4]
More customized faction filtering for filtering for specific purities: left clicking on the faction filters now allows cycling between single, dual, or tri purity cards of that faction (right clicking resets faction filter).
Filtering performance in general has been improved (especially searching).

Improved deck displays in both the Play menu and Deck Explorer menu uses a slimmer design which allows showing more decks at once.

Finally we have deck "Face Card" selection coming soon, however it didn't quite make it into todays patch.


Social menu now has in-game voting, allowing the community to vote on upcoming features, card designs, art designs, etc.
Our first vote is up right now, let us know what Christmas gift you want this year.

Added red pulsing HUD when in a multiplayer match and the turn timer is about to exceed to give additional user feedback that they need to finish making their turn.

No balance changes this patch, we'll be having a balance change incoming in January that'll test our new Patreon voting system.

• Fixed Redirect Bot not correctly swapping its affected player when swapping control.
Game/UI
• Fixed several real-time server connection issues and inconsistencies for queue joining, leaving queue, creating private room, and returning from a game. This should fix issues where friends would appear offline even if they weren't.
  
• Fixed cosmetic store tiles incorrectly using size adjusting instead of scale for profile portraits
  
• Fixed the matchup loading screen sometimes not showing the users profile title and fixed vertical layout incorrectly adjusting.
  
• Fixed the Deck zone sometimes causing a soft lock when performing deck movement effects.
  
• Fixed pack opening sometimes failing to open pack due to invalid client session credentials, resulting in loss of the pack item but no cards being granted (If user had invalid credentials, it will now validate them and not let the user open a pack, notifying the user of possible steps to take to fix the issue locally).
  
• Fixed Exile mechanic persisting for 2 turns after discarding it.
  
• Fixed card displays in the deck viewer not handling right click to zoom, and changed the card displays in your deck in the deck builder to be more consistent with the other displays in Play and Deck screens.
  
• Fixed the leaderboard wins column not showing the correct statistic for the wins of the player in the current month.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.76.



We've made some adjustments to the tutorial based on player reports, this will help new players learn the game, thanks for your feedback.
Tutorials now also display the rewards from completing them, in the tutorial selection screen.

Fixed Silent disconnect issues. Previously if you disconnected with a player while in a game, there was a case where the the game would get stuck on "Waiting for opponent", this will now notify you of a disconnection and complete your game with the player, we will be continuing to look into this connection issue and if it is something related to our networking services, thanks for your patience

Improved readability for Packs & bundles in the store to now have clearer information to what they contain. This was a community suggestion, thank you for your feedback.

Quest Experience rewards have been multiplied by 15. Was created referencing an outdated EXP calculation, making them nearly meaningless.

Overall Goals of these balance changes:

1. Prepare the groundwork for the next set by getting any last major factional mechanical theme reworks completed. Primarily changing Champions Matter to Unique Matters in OoS and buffing triple FD.
   
2. Complete any outstanding redesigns/buffs/nerfs, including Devil of Despair.

Devil of Despair Redesigned to:
Devil of Despair Cost:3 Morale:7
Character - Demon
Consume 1, Cannot be killed from non-damage sources.
Pay 1, Discard your left-most card: CARDNAME gains +3/+1. It gains untouchable until end of turn. This activation is preemptive, and can only be activated once per turn, and only while deployed.
6/6
Removed haste with more aggressive stat gain and base. As haste doesn't work from command zone anyway.

Goals: Overseers have for a long time had two parallel insular mechanical themes (themes that don't work well with other factions). Those being Angel tribal and Champion matters. This being made even more intertwined with all Champions being Angels.
In addition to this, Champions have a very strict lore role, that makes them very difficult to print more Champions or Champion support cards in the future that doesn't continue this insular design.
So the solution is to remove the Champion type, and split all Champion's matters cards between the insular Angel tribal, and the new less insular Unique matters subtheme, especially creating an overlap in OoS+FD.
At the same time this can also help rearrange the gameplay of some of OoS's 1 drops.
Overall this is supposed to leave OoS at about the same power level. We'll be keeping a close eye on if these any additional tuning.

All Champion cards Remove the Champion type
Sol's Loyalist Redesign text to "When Sol's Loyalist enters the deployed area, all Unique Characters you control in play, hand, and deck permanently gain +1/+0."
Strength of Leadership Redesign text to "Target Unique Character gains +8/+8"
Forerunner of the Champions Increase base stats to 4/4. Redesign text to "When a Unique Character enters the deployed area under your control, CARDNAME permanently gains +3/+3 and loses this ability."
Champion's Herald Redesign text to "Flying
Exhaust: If Champion's Herald is deployed, return Champion's Herald to your hand, then target Unique Character in your hand costs 1 less and gains haste next turn."
Champion's Companion Redesign text to "Flying
While Champion's Companion is deployed all Angels you control have Vigilance."
Increased cost to 6, increased stats to 10/10.
Champion's Attendant Reduce purity to 1P. Redesign text to "When you deploy Champion's Attendant, you may Overcharge it once. If you do, target Unique Character gains +5/+5."
Fiery Ascension Redesign text to "Target Character in your hand gains +4/+0, Flying, Charge, and becomes Unique in addition to their other types."


Hilderic Change cost to 15-ish (Gonna be testing the exact cost sometime soon) and Reworking the cost reduction to "Hilderic's cost is reduced by the number of Characters you control that have attacked this game, divided by 3.
Increase stats by +0/+5 (20/15 total stats.)
Goal: Buff triple flame dawn's top end finishers and better reward their aggression only playstyle.

Vis +0/+10 (6/20 total stats)
Goal: Increase Vis's "floor" so that she is less useless when not overcharged for large amounts.

Fiery Wish First Mode changed to "All Characters in your hand and deck gain +4/+0 and charge until the end of the next turn."
Third mode changed to "Target Character in the Assault Zone gains Indestructible and Multistrike 2 until end of turn"
Goal: Buff triple flame dawn's midgame effects.

Proctul Pay 1, Exhaust: Deal 4 damage to target Character in the Support Zone.
Pay 4, Exhaust: Kill target Character in the Support Zone.
Goal: Keep Proctul's ability to punish Wealthy Nobles etc, but give her greater lategame sniping potential

Aberion's Apprentice Redesign to "When Aberion's Apprentice attacks, Characters in your Assault Zone gain +1/+0."
Goal: Add more small go-wide attack buffs to Flame Dawn to take the pressure off very swingy cards like Warcry.

Glory of the Empire "Redesign to:
"Aubade, Heart of the Empire Cost:2
Location
When a Character you control deals combat damage to the enemy fortress, that Character gains +3/+0 until the end of the next turn.""
Goal: Redesign a card so useless it was the wrong cost for over a year and nobody noticed.

All Mega Units and Ultra Unit moved to 1P
Mega Unit 01 - 1P, Reduce Pilot ability cost to 0
Mega Unit 02 - 1P, Reduce cost to 10, Activated ability can only be activated from battlefield. Stats reduced to 28/28.
Goal creates a cleaner 8->9->10 curve for mega units. Encourages Activated ability to not be used safely from support in an non-interactive manner.
Mega Unit 03 - 1P, Ability changed to: Sacrifice a Artificial Character: Until end of turn Mega Unit 03 gains unstoppable and "When this enters combat for the first time this turn, it gains indestructible until the end of that combat."
Goal: The old ability was overpriced and conflicted with the shield of Unit 02. Instead I wanted to focus on its unstoppable, giving it the Shield Generator style ability.

Mysterious Box of Wonder Increase cost by 1
Goal: Mysterious Boxx of wonder is both very efficient as a one-shot flicker, very efficient as a repeatable flicker engine, and can be used as a stall/tempo tool against enemies. For such power flexibility, it is just a little too efficient and restricts design space of future deployment zone effects.

Acolyte of the Altar Activated ability changed to Sacrifice
Goal: Revert of the Kill vs Sacrifice costing after the recent death effect changes.

Tibat No longer flickerable ("When CARDNAME is deployed")
Goal: Tibat is one of the best flicker targets in the game, especially in the mid-game. Due to not being in a core flicker focused color pair such as GI or OoS, we'd rather keep the card's strong effect but remove this synergy.

Denial of Surprise +1 Cost
Goal: Denial is not the source of Cov's core strength, but something that makes it much more narrow to adapt a deck against them, covering a weakness too well essentially in a way that is unlikely to be healthy medium-long term.

Cottontail VX1600 Increase stats to 18/18. Make the ability free but only once per turn while deployed.
Goal: Add more top end mechs to GI and make the card far less awkward to use.

Carrion Creeper Increase stats by +0/+3. (8/7 total stats)
Goal: While Carrion Creeper's previous nerf has given it the intended Gameplay experience, its stats were not at the right place, especially it's durability.

Dragon of Autumn Wind
Ability changed to:
Flying, Unstoppable
When you deploy Dragon of Autumn Wind or it deals damage to the enemy fortress, draw two non-Dragon Characters that cost 5 or more.
30/30
Goal: This card remains as one of the largest and most impactful cards in the game for Timmy players, but no longer be as impossible to predict with its Haste, but players still draw into more cards immediately. The non-dragon clause is to prevent it drawing copies of itself, which was a poor gameplay loop, especially with recycle etc.

One of Many Exhumed: Reduce One of Many Exhumed to 3 cost and give it -1 attack. (7/9 Stats in total)
Goal: One of Many Exhumed is currently too high a cost for an enabler and competing for slots too heavily with many of the payoff cards at 4 cost such as Infested Knight and Infested Hulker.

Aether Adept Reduce base stats to 4/4 reduce morale cost to 4
Goal: Slightly weaken Cov's early game board presence, and provide more counterplay to one of the faction's great early game commanders. While at the same time being a slight buff to Twins in Gray

Tygrugh, the Insane Change end of turn ability to require Tygrugh to be on the Battlefield, not Deployed.
Goal: As a top end finisher for triple Exiles, Tygrugh is certainly impactful enough, the main issue is that that impact doesn't quite have enough foreshadowing when played from hand and doesn't risk the card in combat at all. The effect will remain very powerful, but now gives the opponent a chance to know they need to play out their hand more.

Empath Battery Redesigned to "At the end of turn, if two or more Characters you control have entered the deployed area this turn, your Fortress gains 3 Health and you gain 3 Morale. If one of those Characters was a Human, your Fortress gains 6 Health and you gain 6 Morale instead."
Goal: The card is supposed to be about gaining incremental morale and health over the course of the game, however the card is proving problematic when spawning 6+ Characters on the field at once. This will only get worse with incoming Sleeper token creator cards.

Purification Stone Can no longer hit artifacts, locations, or the Command zone
Purification Stone hitting Artifacts and Locations has ended up being too swingy and out of the factional mechanical color pie of the faction, likewise the ability to hit multiple Command Zone slots often shut down opposing deck's gameplans in ways that make harder control plans smoother and takes pressure off the need to use other important cards like Humble on that zone.

The Tutorial will have some time to go before it has all four missions completed and voiced properly, but we're already working on that as we speak, while also working on the systems that will help some of our other upcoming features.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.75.



The first of our planned 4 initial tutorials has been completed and is now available to all players via the play menu.
Play as the Descendants of the Dragons against the recent exile onslaught as Candit guides you: her new initiate in the ways of command.
This feature has taken a significant amount of time to allow us to properly create a framework for future single player content which is an important part of introducing new players to the amazing game of Infinity Wars Classic.
We plan to be releasing the coming tutorials over the next few months.
In addition, voice acting will be added to the new tutorial shortly as we make some minor changes thank to feedback from our Patreons.

All cards now have important text highlighted in yellow, as well as being able to be hovered over to see the associated tooltips.
While a number of improvements and polish is still required, this is another important step to help players understand how the game works so they can craft their own amazing plays and strategies.


Clicking on a card during the game will now showcase the card bigger and clearer than ever, also showcasing the card's purity that is normally hidden on the smaller ingame view.
In addition, you can now activate this zoomed view during resolution, allowing you to clearly view a card you might not be 100% familiar with as it shows up.

We are proud of the cinematic intrigue trailer created for the release of the set, and so now we have it in game on start-up, it is fully skippable with the press of any key.

Thanks to community feedback, some changes have been made to our foiling textures and renderers, this will help these special cards seem more shiny, and less crinkled, with less downtime between foil flashes.

No changes this patch, however a large balance patch is now in active testing and will be coming soon.

• Fixed Locations, Missions and Artifact cards incorrectly being shifted into the wrong slot upon resolving the turn (visual bug).
  
• Fixed Torment Intruder causing the game to hang due to incorrect damage calculations.

• Fixed the inventory top bar button not re-enabling sometimes even after inventory had been received.
  
• Fixed the prompt panel not rendering over the top of the displayed card in the main menu, causing you to not be able to customize card titles.
  
• Fixed Stamps being shown on cards in-game when they're on the battlefield or in the ability queue.
HOTFIXES
• Fixed several card descriptions with incorrect spelling, wording and wrongly assigned description.
  
• Fixed keyword tooltips not replacing {0} values with 'X' in the inventory screen.
  
• Fixed Tormented Thrall not being killed from opponent abilities and fixed it's death replacement to only work for non-sacrifice effects for ability cards you play.

• Fixed card displays having incorrect text positioning in the deck builder.
  
• Fixed Natures Sanctuary Egg & Pitcher Plant Scaling & Tweaked Visuals.

  The Tutorial will have some time to go before it has all four missions completed and voiced properly, but we're already working on that as we speak, while also working on the systems that will help some of our other upcoming features.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.74. We just had our first IWC Open Tournament this past week, and overall we'd say it was a pretty decent success! We'll be looking towards some balance changes happening in the next few weeks, using the data and feedback we got from the tournament itself, so if you have any balance opinions, now's a great time to make your voice heard either here, or over on Discord. See you there!

We will be looking into missing items and remaining kickstarter rewards next week, if you believe you have been affected by this, be sure to let us know on Discord.



A new Tutorial is available to Patreons for initial testing, this is the first of 4 initial single player missions. This first Mission will be available to non-patreons in the next patch after any rough edges have been smoothed out.


We have modified Mass Character selection to be easier to use. Now you can just click and drag to make a box to select multiple units. You can also hold CTRL to select multiple units, and deselect selected units. Heck yeah, functionality.

Many new VFX effects have been added to various Character and Ability cards, often also including sound effects as well. Bu sure to especially check out the Useless Cow in all its glory.

The leaderboard now only takes into account multiplayer games, and some adjustments have been made to exp gain overall when playing against AI.
Unfortunately we have had to reset the leaderboard for this month.

Minor visual changes have been made to the Patreon Border to make it clash less visually with various elements.

Foundation Alt art bundle #3 is now available
"Contains a bundle with tradable alternate art cards with gold borders.
- 3x Pacify
- 3x Drone
- 3x Armored Landcrawler"

We are keeping the Halloween Bundle and Foundation bundle #2 Available until Monday 7th because we know some folks have been effected by a store steam ticket bug that has now been fixed.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.72.

We're working away behind the scenes at prepping everything for the Kickstarter rewards coming on the 10th of October, and we've got something for the late comers to the Kickstarter, a late backer store for people looking for a last chance at scoring some Platinum cards, as well as work towards stretch goals and score other awesome perks. To check out the store, click the link below, and if you're already a part of the campaign - let's jump into the patch notes!

Post-Kickstarter store open until October 6th!

A major rework has been started on pack opening animations. Snag some packs now and check it out!


We are experimenting with a faster combat animation speed to help multiple combats not dragging on.
We'd appreciate any feedback on if it feels too fast or slow so we can continue to adjust it.

All Move to Support effects changed to Exhaust-ing for consistency
This effects the following Cards:

• Flashbang
  
• Nix
  
• Stumble
  
• Demon of Fear
  
• Flagbearer
  
• Harbinger of Law
  
• Distraction Drone
  
• Harbinger of Light
  
• Exhaust

Goal: To create consistency in move effects vs exhausting, allow for more "exhaust matters" design space in the future. and make FD slightly more powerful against activated abilities.



A large batch of balance changes with this patch. we'll be seeing how the meta plays out after this and the release of intrigue but likely have another moderate sized balance patch in the works.

Devil of Despair
Temp ban the card so that variants can be tested.
We have a number of balance changes we have been testing, we want to get this change right and are therefore temporarily banning this card while we do further internal tests.

Hungry Abomination
Now gains a flat +6/+6 when discarding or removing a Character from hand.
Character stat based discard was too swingy, and hindered making large statlines. this keeps it as a powerful discard/overcharge engine card, but can no longer gain 30+ attack out of nowhere.

Champion's Herald
Cost reduction now only lasts a single turn
OoS are only allowed Character cost reduction as a tempo play, not in a stackable manner. This also means the haste and the cost reduction line up and make playing the card on turn 1 less safe.

Mutating Dead
Once per Turn activation restriction to activated ability
Helps it grow a little slower and not pick up sometime a 5-6 keywords in a single turn, which can be frustrating gameplay.

Unstable Demon
Increase Exile cost by 1
Make this powerful deadly character come down a little slower when discarded, as its body was huge for turn 4.

Xi, Martyr of Peace
Reduce healing to 15
Make the card less effective in multiples and allow the Spirit transform to being the more central focus of the effect.

Carrion Creeper
Can only sacrifice deployed Characters
Make the card not come down on turn 1 and make the sacrifice version be more equal in value to the 3 cost mode.

Escalated Stain
Increase Cost by 1. Purity increased to 2P
Reduce the value provided by the stealing mode and bring in line with other steal effects

Blightmaker
Purity reduced to 1P
Swapping purity with Stain as a splashable lategame card that can also be location removal.

Corrupted Celestial Dragon
Increase cost to 11
Retain a flexible purity lategame option but not overshadow other lategame cards as much, while also slowing down flicker strategies.

Flame Dawn Purifier
Gains "When you deploy CARDNAME, remove target card from the enemy graveyard. "
Want to add a little more main-deckable graveyard removal to flame dawn and give the card further differentiation from Kali.

Hehkeem, Corrupted
Increase cost by 1.
Make 3xSoA deckbuilding more diverse in the long term. The power of this card often warped the number of 1-3 cost characters the deck played, making it really difficult to justify playing anything more expensive.

Aberion, Fallen from Glory
1P -> 2P
Aberion, Hammer of the Dawn
2P -> 1P
Increase stats from 8/8->10/10
Allow 2FD to be more appealing and bring the transformed aberion in line with the original.

Vengeful Warrior Redesign
Vengeful Warrior v2 Cost:3 Morale:0 (DoDx1)
Vigilance
When another Character you control dies, Vengeful Warrior gains deadly until end of turn.
2/4
Redesign a horrifically statted DoD character and add more options for them to use against huge bodies.

Vah'nash, the Ritual Master
Now buffs himself
Becomes less vulnerable to commander removal, but requires early activations.

Hell's Gambler
Cost Increased by 1
Massive cost reduction can happen a little too early if your really lucky. Now a bit slower when the game can handle it.

Pyr, Fortress of the Flame Dawn
Text changed to "At the beginning of combat, create a Flame Dawn Aspirant in the Assault Zone."
Buff the new 3 drop in Intrigue and make the card have more immediate impact.

Greedy Ransacker
Gains charge
FD was missing a charge unit at 3 cost, and plunder plays really well so we wanted to push this a little.

Memorial to Heroes
Increased cost by 1.
With the way Memorial changes everything that comes after, and considering how flexible it is at 1p, it's cost has been aligned properly.

Cleanse Impurities
Text changed to:
"Preemptive
Remove a card from you opponent's graveyard.
Draw a card."
Redesigned to hit graveyard to act as a future safeguard for graveyard strategies and prevent the deck info issue.

Agent Mereor
Activated ability can only be activated once per turn.
Reposition the power of the card into specifically the Agent coyle casual decks, not a board melting machine gun.

Hinekri, Growing Bored
Cost:4 Morale:6 (EXx1)
Unique Character - Demon
Flying
When you deploy Hinekri, put a Madness on top of your opponent's deck.
If Hinekri would die, if your opponent has a Madness in their hand, return her to your hand instead.
8/6
The reanimation effect was both a little too powerful, but also the card was being used for flickering which overshadowed its main ability.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.71.

A lot has happened this last week. The resurgence of the community, the Kickstarter being funded, the content from us, the content from our community - It's amazing, but we'll have time to talk about that in a few weeks when things have calmed down.

As of now, the ban list is completely empty, as all bugs related to keeping cards on that list for extended periods seem to have been dealt with. If a card gets banned, you'll hear about it first on Discord.


Confront the Aether
Increase cost by 2
This card was giving less dedicated CoV decks too much lategame gas, now the card will be able to be made very cheap in dedicated spell matters decks, but be a much more awkward topdeck in other situations.

Sol, Tyrant of Solace
Increase cost by 1
The huge body and very powerful effect came down just a little quicker than we liked, making it difficult to rush down. We'll be keeping an eye on this still very powerful card to see if it needs further adjustments in the future.

We've got a lot of content going on, we've had our premiere live stream event celebration, we've had our Kickstarter launch, and we're got so much more to show off in the next two weeks! Want to be up to date with everything? Join us on Discord, where we've seen a massive influx of activity, and we're almost at 2100 members! https://discord.gg/y8KGxk4

We are excited to announce the public early release of Infinity Wars Classic! The game is no longer locked for non-patreons and we have just started the Intrigue set Kickstarter. Along with this, we have the introduction of the CTCG model, so tell your friends and get them involved so they can play with every single card in the game, for free, just by making an account!

For more info on the CTCG model, check out this video we did revealing our direction from earlier last year.

Gain 3 Quests every day, and lock in your favourites. There are over 30 quests currently implemented, with more coming soon.
Be sure to lock in any quests you wish to keep over multiple days, as they refresh every 24 hours.

12 new premade decks have been added, replacing the old outdated decks. These include decks provided by our amazing community, such as Gameipedia, and Tyrantherus. We'll probably be doing another deck building competition after the Kickstarter, this one went really well.


All menu screens in both main menu and in-game now fully support different resolutions including 16:9, 16:10, 12:9, 32:9, 3:2 and more.

Major improvements have been made to user decks, including "last time played" checks, so that your custom deck list is sorted with your favourited and most recently played ones at the top of the list.

The deckbuilder has received another pass of internal improvements, including better performance, better filtering for card types, stats and search functionality. We have also adjusted the size of cards in the deck builder for better visibility.

A huge new pass has been done to both menus and ingame abilities with dozens of new particles effects.

The menus have received a number of new sound effects to create a better audio experience, with even more on the way.

When playing games, the music will change based on the purity of your deck.

With the public release and the Intrigue Kickstarter happening, balance changes mostly be delayed until after Intrigue's full release in 3 weeks as the team focuses on other areas. However we do have a few small changes of already released intrigue cards:

Tygris, Politically Inclined
Removed deploy requirement.
The token "Lord" effect we felt was playing out a bit lower impact than expected, and thus wanted to try out Tyrgis as more of a command zone option.

Carlotta, Queen of Solace
Attack prevention ability now only effects the opponent
The Queen of Solace's ability previously prevented an Overseers deck from fulfilling its own go-wide plans. So we have removed the restriction from yourself.

Bek
Gains +2/+2
This dragon based Character needs to get onto the battlefield, so we have increased her stats so she can survive there more often.

Astatoth
Damage trigger changed from an end step trigger -> "When Astatoth is dealt damage for the first time each turn"
This small buff means that Astatoth doesn't need to survive till the end of turn, meaning he no longer is sometimes anti-synergistic with his unstoppable keyword.
