Patch 1.33.4 now live

This week’s patch is a lot of card buffs, and some usability improvements around the trash and legal abilities.

Feature Improvements:

When you copy a card, the effects on that card are also copied. Biogenesis copies now have Regenerate; Reinforcements copies will retain any buffs the original had.
You can now see the last 5 cards to go to either player’s trash. Click the trash icon to see.
When you’re dragging an attack or activate arrow, if you mouse back over the initial card, or mouse up over the initial card, the attack will be cancelled. This is more in line with expected behaviour.
Players who will be affected by untargeted cards show up with a green glow (previously, only cards in the arena showed up this way)
Lots of clean up of abilities that go illegal at times (combat abilities at the end of combat, for example), and more quickly updating legal abilities after playing an ability

Bug Fixes:

Draft deck card lists no longer show numbers above 3 in red
Increased speed of achievements animations
No longer lose rating points for dropping from a draft
Draft wins & losses are displayed correctly
Fixed several bugs where draft cards would disappear when dragged
Deck screenshot panel shows draft decks correctly
Fixed a bug on the report bug panel
Fixed the “Clone” and “Delete” buttons in the play screen
Bombs now actually go away when they explode

Card Balance Changes:

We’ve changed a lot of cards this patch. There’s three main categories: Rarity shifts, subtypes, and buffs. [olist]

Rarity-wise, 10 Rares became Epic and 10 Epics became Legendary. If you already own the card, all your copies will be upgraded to its new rarity (and corresponding new scrap price).

We’ve aligned several subtypes so we can key off them now or in the future. There’s a new Soldier, and a couple of new Demons.

A fair number of Epics and Legendaries have been buffed in various ways. The buffed cards were seeing lighter play than we’d want, so this should enable a few more of them to show up in decks. [/olist] Arcane
