NEW CARDS
Magnetic Bombs
S1ege Br3aker MKI
BUFFS
Chief Ice Breaker Bolf
Damage: 100 -> 120
Dormant Defenders
Gains two Arcane Spheres when awakened. (the projectiles from Arcane Ring spell, dealing 30 damage each)
Lash of Ah’Mun
Can no longer be damaged.
This makes it so that ranged units no longer stop to attack it, and instead walk out of its attack range, making it slightly harder to use correctly. However since this change removes most forms of counterplay it should still handily serve as the buff it’s intended to be.
Morgrul the Swarmer King
Health: 250 -> 300
T.A.A.S
Summoned with 2 Gn4t escorts.
We want the building itself to be more interesting and worth playing, instead of it just being used to gain access to H3LL-F1R3. While T.A.A.S did need a buff, this might be enough that we end up nerfing it in the future, in which case we’ll likely take some power out of H3LL-F1R3.
Taloc the Vessel
Health: 200 -> 250
Taloc is still very hard to use and gain value. His dps and utility value is clearly there, so increasing his health is a way to make it more likely that he gets to do his thing.
Zeppelin Bomber
Health: 70 -> 85
REBALANCE
City Watch
Trigger changed to Empyrean Army.
This moves the card into a completely different archetype, one that is hopefully less well suited to the cycle play style where the card has been so prevalent. We will be keeping a close eye on this!
Kurrnath Crystalback
Mana: 5 -> 4
Health: 400 -> 300
Zap range: 18 -> 16
Last time Kurrnath was at 4 mana he was completely dominant in the meta, however at that time his zap had global range. Since that is no longer the case, and with the reduction in health, we’re hoping this is a better spot for him.
Netherstep
No longer has Voidborne Wound
Now invokes on play.
About the same amount of total value, more tooled to a proactive play style.
Rimargaal's Breath
Duration: 3 -> 5
Damage gets more spread out, however the spell freezes, so if played correctly most units will still take the full damage. The spell is now better for area control, and will be more easy to use for the freeze effect.
NERFS
Coax, the Diplomancer
Health 350 -> 300
Removed Accursed Ascension.
We’re stripping Coax down to the core of what we think the unit needs to be. We may have to buff him in the future if this turns out to be too much.
Daggerfall
Removed Slitherbind
Sanctum of the Cleansing Fire
No longer starts activated
Vulture Prime A83
Removed Tech Trigger
Wall
Health 400 -> 325

Stopped A’Zog from using Shadow Dash when frozen
Stopped Cheese Date Scrats from trying to ascend to a higher plane of existence
