Card Changes
Welcome back to balance patch notes! This release aims to strengthen Augencore at all stages of the game and rein in power from Scipius and his Kathari brethren. Let’s dive right in:
Foundry Technician
In order to add some strength to the foundational gameplay of Augencore, we’re starting from low on the curve. This change should make the Tech stickier and more resilient, allowing more value for longer. Moving out of the sights of Mercenary Gunslinger in particular should make this play feel safer.
G.R.A.U.L
G.R.A.U.L. is a tricky card to add power to, but this change is looking to create more opportunities for major plays without losing too much tempo if they don’t work out. If you go for broke with a G.R.A.U.L. that gets killed immediately, at least now you won’t be permanently down the banked upgrade. While this does technically allow it to be a ramp card, we think that the cost of the unit and the nature of Aftermath will keep it in line with our goals here.
Ishkur, Arak's Enforcer
This is just an obvious buff to make Ishkur more immediately and lastingly impactful. As usual, we’ll keep an eye on this to make sure that he’s not out of band.
The Swarm
This change adds versatility with a primary focus on the turn that Arak is played, but also extends to future turns. Now players can choose whether the Swarm or the components are what they want on the field without requiring interaction from their opponents.
Triumph of Iron
Triumph of Iron doesn’t see much play and doesn’t win much when it is played. Compared to the rest of the Triumph cards, this one has performed poorly. Hopefully this additional strength and consistency can bring it closer to the meta.
Repeater Cannon
We want Augencore upgrades to be more exciting. This one in particular is now more exciting.
VoxTech Jammer Mk. I
This is to create more synergy opportunities with Aftermath Augencore cards.
Killbox
The goal of Killbox was to give Kathari decks with a significant board presence and/or board advantage a way to end the game rather than needing to fight through more turns to win a game they were dominating. However, as released, the card ends some games that weren’t as over as we might have hoped. This change leaves all the power in the card but moves it up the curve to let it retain its role as the killing blow without being the boogieman it is today.
High-Density Genetic Replicator
This is an exciting card but we think it scales too strong in multiples. This change should allow decks fighting for tempo against buffed clones to find more opportunities to be more efficient in attacking the board.
No Snitching
This probably shouldn’t have hit Paragons originally, but we weren’t sure how receptive the audience would be to spending a card to “answer” a threat without removing it. We should not have been concerned, y’all have been very receptive. Allowing No Snitching to hit Paragons opened up some interesting lines (like being able to attack with Cathy), but has proven to be quite stifling for more expensive, build-around Paragons. This change should leave the card plenty strong but let some Paragons have more breathing room.
Bug Fixes
All bug fixes will be listed when the patch is released. Please revisit this section on Patch day.
