Dual Prism Heroes

Infinite Infinities (2134)

Cost:

7 → 8

Text:

Draw a card. Gain a Max Mana for every 5 Max Mana you have. Return this spell to deck.
↓
Draw a card. Gain a Max Mana for every 5 Max Mana you have. Return this spell to deck at the end of this turn.

In service of fixing an entertaining but unbalanced oversight, we’ve adjusted Infinite Infinities to return itself to deck at the end of the turn. This limits the number of times you can cast Infinities per turn. Another benefit of this change is resetting any cost modifications when it’s cast, as it will enter the grave and thus have its cost reset to base. This change should serve to close off most, if not all of the abuse cases we’ve observed, and return Infinite Infinities to the slower, accrued advantage win condition it was intended as, rather than the overpowered combo tool it became.

Blightcrafter (2123)

Text:

When this unit takes damage, add two Blight to the enemy deck.
↓
When an enemy spell, unit, or hero damages this unit, add two Blight to the enemy deck.

A slight rework to a frustrating card. Blightcrafter only adds Blights to the enemy deck when it takes damage from an enemy Hero, Unit, or Spell, as opposed to whenever it takes damage. This change is made to prevent players from using their own cards like Overdraft to flood the enemy deck with Blights, a frustrating interaction players were abusing in the recent metagame.

Solara (1134)

Cost:

3 → 4

As expected, Solara has been overperforming, so we’ve given her +1 cost. While this does leave her weaker, She is still an effective 3/4 Banner at worst thanks to the Songbird she summons, so we firmly believe she’ll remain a valuable piece of Agility decks in future metas.

Elder Shroom (3037)

Cost:

3 → 4

Health:

3 → 5

We’re moving Elder Shroom up the curve due to concerns about the speed at which it can come down and start accruing Max Mana increases through Bouran’s Hero Ability, or similar effects like Molten Heart and Phoenix Plume.

Nessie (4056)

Text:

Sunset: Spend your mana to gain that much power.
↓
Sunset: Gain power equal to your unspent mana.

Health:

6 → 7

Spell:

Capsize → None

Nessie is receiving a simplification. Rather than spending your mana to increase its power, it simply gains power equal to your unspent mana. This allows multiple Nessie to work together, and serves to simplify the ability overall. We have also opted to simplify Nessie by removing its Capsize attachment, (as it’s not used anywhere else in the game) and giving it +1 health to compensate.

Scooter (4080)

Text:

Sunset: Spend two Mana to Draw a card.
↓
Sunset: If you have two or more unspent mana, Draw a card.

Like Nessie, Scooter is receiving a simplification to draw you a card if you have two or more leftover mana, rather than spending two mana to draw. This is in service of keeping its effect more consistent with other sunset effects by removing the odd ‘spend mana’ clause, and also allows multiple copies to work together.

Enigma Golem (4064)

Text:

Summon: Draw and attach a Mind spell to this unit. Give it -8 cost.
↓
Summon: Draw and attach a Mind spell to this unit. it has -8 cost this turn.

Power:

6 → 8

While most of the current issues we’ve seen with Enigma Golem were tied to Infinite Infinities, it has shown us a potential weakness in our design where permanent cost decreases are concerned, particularly when they are sizable. We’ve adjusted Golem to only give -8 cost for a single turn, which should have little impact on its usual play patterns, but help curb these unintended interactions in the future. In pursuit of strengthening finishers, we’ve also increased Golem’s power by +2 to allow it to hit harder.
