The final major Balance Patch of Early Access is now live, with some significant changes
Two weeks ago we discussed our gameplay landscape in this Faeria Friday and we are now ready to introduce the significant balance changes promised. While this is the final planned major balance patch before our 1.0 launch, we will of course be monitoring carefully to see what still needs tweaking after this update. Please note that while this patch sets the definitive tone for the meta we want, we've done a big quantity of changes and expect there might be some cards to recalibrate.
