Arcadeum Mask (110)
Text: Inspire Spell: Draw a spell onto this unit.
➞ Inspire Spell: Conjure a spell onto this unit. Give it -1 cost.
Trying a conjure version (with bonus cost reduction) so it does less fatigue damage in long games. Hoping conjure is more fun thank risking important spells in your deck.
Rite Knight (658)
Cost: 1
➞ 2
Keywords: stealth
➞ stealth,lifesteal
Power: 2
➞ 3
The end of another era. Our most explosive starts tend to begin with Rite Knight, and the winrate data has been strong. The cost bump should be a nerf overall, despite +1pow and lifesteal.
Frigid Blizzard (83)
Cost: 7
➞ 6
Text: If you have no mana, give enemy units Frozen. Do 2 Damage to each unit.
➞ Give enemy units Frozen if you have no mana. Do 2 Damage to each unit.
Keywords: wither
➞ None
Bumped back to an older version that better filled the role at a cheaper cost.
Dual Boot (465)
Text: Draw a unit. Summon a 2/2 guard copy. Give it Dazed.
➞ Draw a unit. Summon a copy as 2/2 with Dazed and guard.
Minor tweaks this patch to how units are summoned with different attachments. Copy effects have been standardized to summon with the attachment already on - so no Vapors or Anima triggers.
Soul Forge (896)
Text: Summon a 2/2 armor copy of your left unit in hand. Give it Lead.
➞ Summon a copy of your left unit in hand as 2/2 with Lead and armor.
Tweaked similar to Dual Boot for summon copy consistency.
Mass Confuse (134)
Cost: 6
➞ 8
Text: Each unit fights itself. Both players mulligan their spells.
➞ Each enemy fights itself.
Bumped up the curve to an expensive one-sided clear. Note that it's good against banner, too.
Deactivate (1023)
Text: Give target unit Silence. Make it 0 Power.
➞ Give target unit Silence and -8 Power.
Slight nerf to power reduction.
Mimic (1106)
Spell: None
➞ Barrier
Barrier buff.
Howl Geist (1064)
Keywords: guard,wither
➞ guard,lifesteal,wither
Spell: Fate
➞ None
Swapping Fate for Lifesteal as another bump down in power, so it's more acceptable to kill immediately.
It's a Trap! (901)
Keywords: None
➞ lifesteal
I missed the lifesteal reward for hitting the hero, and the winrate has some room to grow.
Jar of Souls (805)
Text: Summon your top three dead units as 1/1 with wither and Hex. Ready them.
➞ Summon your top three dead units as 1/1. Give each Hex and wither. Ready them.
Normal summons (not copies) have been changed to consistently add attachments after, to trigger Anima and Vapors.
Puppet Master (1113)
Cost: 4
➞ 5
Text: Summon: Draw a low-cost unit into play as 2/2 with Lead and guard.
➞ Summon: Draw a low-cost unit into play as 2/2. Give it Lead and guard.
Health: 2
➞ 3
Bumping back up the curve. In general, cheat summons seem to be more fair at 5c than 4c, so it's not a consistent turn two play.
Bane She (267)
Power: 3
➞ 4
Buff to low winrate.
Sinstone (501)
Text: Death: Summon Zomboid.
➞ Death: Summon Zomboid with guard.
Power: 3
➞ 2
Nerf to high winrate in Discovery, trying a small guard buff to reduce the overall stats.
Frog King (841)
Spell: None
➞ Rosewater Charm
Small spell buff.
Swamp Walker (88)
Health: 4
➞ 3
Stat nerf, there's consistent value here with the spell and triggering off its own death.
Carrion Crow (1074)
Text: Play: Dust target hero's top dead unit to draw a low-cost dark spell onto this unit.
➞ Summon: Dust the top dead unit of both graves to draw a low-cost dark spell onto this unit.
Reworked to summon effect for more synergy.
Flame Volley (1058)
Keywords: None
➞ wither
Rebuffed with wither to add more impact to base effect.
Anchor Drop (1084)
Text: Has -1 cost for each water card in your grave. Do 5 Damage to target unit.
➞ Has -1 cost for each water card in your grave. Do 4 Damage to target unit.
Another nerf to free removal.
Deepus (833)
Health: 7
➞ 8
More health with nerfed spell.
Hope (1065)
Text: Summon: Give allies Shroud.
➞ Summon: Give ally units Shroud.
Keywords: guard
➞ guard,banner
Banner buff.
Ominous Hoo (880)
Keywords: None
➞ stealth
Back to the shadows for Ominous Hoo.
Death's King (379)
Power: 2
➞ 3

Stats tweaked to be more fragile, though better against -2pow effects.

Thematic guard buff.
Second Chance (651)
Text: Summon your top dead unit as 2/2 with Shield and banner.

Like Jar of Souls, buffed to trigger Anima and Vapors.
Bad Dreams (383)

➞ Give enemy units -1 Power. Reveal units in the enemy hand and give them -1 Power.
Prism: hrt
