Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.41c. What started as a hotfix patch with bugfixing ended up being a lot larger than anticipated, and while we don't normally make full announcement posts for hotfixes, there was a lot that was fixed up timed directly with another free weekend, which will hopefully be a lot more fun this time around thanks to the aforementioned bug fixes. So, hopefully we'll see you there!
Reminder: FREE DEMO
All players now have the ability to download Infinity Wars Classic through Steam directly. Just make sure your game is up to date and you'll be good to go! This is a great way to get hands-on with what we've created so far as a bit of a sample of what's to come. Yes, free demo is less important when there's a free weekend, but if you're reading this when the free weekend is over, you can still jump in to the demo whenever you like.
Patch Notes
Major Features
Animation Fix All card animations in game should now play in the correct order and the correct speed, this was caused by our recent optimisation efforts.
Deck Pasting Pressing CTRL+C in the main menu will copy a decklist of your currently selected deck to the clipboard Try posting your decklists to the Discord, we wanna see your amazing creations.
Expanded Deck View Decklists in the main menu will now automatically expand to better allow you to see your full decklist.
Minor Features
Max Hex values increased Increased max health and attack values of character to +-32,767, any Character with values higher/lower than this will have that value set to this. This is due to the way data is packed in the network packets.
New Cards
Extripate Cost:7 (Factionless) Ability Remove target Character, Location, Mission, or Artifact from the game. This ignores all abilities.
This new card design will provide an overcosted but surefire method of any deck from removing problematic cards of any type from the game, especially those with Untouchable, reanimation or other defensive abilities.
Balance Changes
We have several balance changes this week, all bought about directly by community feedback from our Patrons, as well as the free weekend.
Grandmaster Rome
Hyrid Purity Changed to Multi-Faction Purity (OoS AND DoD)
Increased base stats by +1/+1
Fixed wording errors: eg: calling the Assault Zone the Attack Zone
Grandmaster Rome has been an interesting new addition to the cardpool, providing flicker synergies, token generation and evasive threats and defense to a large variety of decks, however while the Intrigue set is looking to add additional Hybrid cards to the card pool, Grandmaster Rome's high impact and many uses meant we are restricting it to a more narrow purity with a slight buff to compensate. We've redesign some future Intrigue cards to be Hybrid cards to offset this change.
Umbral Warden
Text changed to "Bloodthirst 3 If your fortress is below 40 health, Umbral Warden gains Haste"
Stats changed to 4/12
Umbral Warden's role to specifically counteract swarms of small aggressive Character cards was overshadowed by the cost reduction mechanic of the previous design and it could often be quite difficult to remember as an opponent if you had dealt 20 damage the previous turn. Thus this new version uses technology similar to Rescue Angel which is easier to track and puts more of it's power in it's stats and bloodthirst, with the haste being conditional. The team will continue to keep an eye on how the card performs but feels it should be much better suited to its role now.
Bugfixes
Fixed all transform cards to work consistently, Transforming will always remove all buffs, debuffs and damage. This also fixes issues with Kali, and with Rabbid Rabbit.
Fixed Secrets of Veroria sometimes not working on tokens
Fixed Tome of the Dead not activating if the board state was empty
Fixed Scintilla healing the fortress even when Characters it was attacking didn't die
Fixed Hellkeeper created two 6/6 Demons with the cost of 4 instead of 0 into the deck
Fixed Verore Death Worshippers gaining power even in the graveyard
Fixed Purge the Unworthy mission completion
Fixed Deployed Ultra-unit, sometimes not killing other Characters
Fixed Cloning effects sometimes not copying Buffs and Debuffs correctly, especially those that prevent movement from specific zones
Fixed Logrithmatron health doubling not working correctly with damage
Fixed Characters that get over 128 health or attack in multiplayer incorrectly triggering the Desync detection due to data types
Fixed Game Version checks for multiplayer matches not working correctly with hotfix patches
Fixed Deck collection errors sometimes causing custom decks to get wiped
Fixed Entangle sometimes creating errors if multiple effects were telling the card to be stuck in different zones
Fixed Bloodthirsty Dead's spritesheet
Fixed Win/Loss tie bug
Fixed Morale not being correctly checked by the desync detection
Fixed Stat multiplication not calculating correctly in some instances
The free weekend is going to be seeing a lot of people returning and jumping into the game, so jump into the Discord server and find an opponent!

Heya everyone, an official update that's been some time in the making we finally get to share.
We're leaving Pre-Alpha, and celebrating with a free weekend!
With the recent optimisation updates, as well as the current state of the Infinity Card Engine, we're happy enough to officially move out of our Pre-Alpha phase, starting with our upcoming patch next week! With this, we'll also be opening the game up to everyone to enjoy for the weekend, where we'll be stress-testing the servers, and getting more data on how the game is performing on average setups. We'll also have a Dev chat happening on that same day, and livestreams over the weekend. The weekend will start from the moment the patch goes live, and will stay active until the Monday to follow. And, as part of this weekend, all users will have double XP enabled for the Summit, so come check it out between the 24th and 26th.
Additionally, we have our first implementation of a new feature that we're hoping for some feedback on; Pack Openings. For this, we'll be giving our existing Patrons their owed packs as per their Patreon tier and subscription length. We'll also have packs to give away to people who play against devs on live stream, and it goes without saying that the cards you get will be yours to keep.
Our full free-to-play open beta and kickstarter for the new set Intrigue are both on the way, likely happening pretty closely to one another, and while we can't promise these will be out by the end of the year, it's certainly what we are working towards. Please keep your expectations tempered though, we generally don't like speaking of dates to manage expectations, but we wanted to share because honestly, it's super exciting, and we wanna see you get hyped with us.
Be sure to tell a friend about the free weekend, and jump in to play some games against those who show up to play! And, for those who aren't patrons and just want to get involved in the free weekend, you can start by installing the game through Steam using the link here; https://store.steampowered.com/app/257730/Infinity_Wars_Animated_Trading_Card_Game/
You'll have access to the Demo of the game before the weekend comes if you want to get a feel for the game again, and when the update goes live you'll be free to build your decks and play your friends to your heart's content.
Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.40. An update that's been cooking behind the scenes for over a month now, Optimisation is here! This means people should be able to play on their PCs as long as they are somewhat modern. You'll no longer need the world's strongest 2080TI's to play a card game.
Reminder: FREE DEMO
All players now have the ability to download Infinity Wars Classic through Steam directly. Just make sure your game is up to date and you'll be good to go! This is a great way to get hands-on with what we've created so far as a bit of a sample of what's to come.
Patch Notes
Major Features
Loading Optimisation The Infinity Engine has undergone a sweeping change in how assets, especially spritesheets and animations are loaded and unloaded This takes advantage of the powerful Addressables system in new versions of Unity to dynamically load and unload assets in a way that doesn't consume huge amounts of RAM that made the game very unstable on lower end machines and long long load times even on newer hardware In addition to this new system that has improved RAM usage by up to 80% this also provides much smaller build sizes and update sizes in the future. Finally during profiling of our low end systems we have found a number of inefficient pieces of code that has now been rewritten to also reduce CPU usage
Tooltip Improvements Tooltips have undergone a significant improvement in its backend systems (and we hope to have prettier tooltips soon) These new systems will better showcase keywords that have been added to a card after creation, will better handle larger numbers of tooltips, and allow for custom card specific tooltips such as on cards that place counters on themselves or have specific status effects like if they are currently Piloted. Not all cards that meet this criteria have had the system hooked up yet, and we look forward to hearing the community's ideas on what existing cards could take advantage of these systems to better improve clarity.
New Cards
Drill Sergeant Cost:2 Morale:6 (FDx1) Character - Human When Drill Sergeant enters the Deployed Area, create two Flame Dawn Aspirants in your hand. Whenever a Flame Dawn Aspirant enters the Deployed Area under your control, If Drill Sergeant is deployed, it gains +2/+0. 2/5
Memorial to Heroes Cost:8 (FDx1) Location When a non-Spirit character enters the deployed area under your control, create a copy of that Character in the Assault Zone. The created Character is a Spirit in addition to its other subtypes. At the end of turn, remove the created Character from the game.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.37. We've been talking with the community and designing away for the past month or so, and after a few teases, we're finally showing off the redesign of the Exiles faction! Randomness should be much more controlled, and will hopefully give the faction a new sense of identity around what they want to do - Discard, exile, and create chaos.

Patch Notes
Major Features
Major Stability Improvements We have been seeing some major stability issues with games freezing up. This has been in part due to our recent large overhauls of the Resolution, Deck, and internal systems. We have found the cause of many of these issues and fixed them. As well as updated our internal Unity version to make use of some of its powerful testing tools, optimisation, and resource alocation to improve stability.
Exile Mechanic I think it's very fair to say that of all the factions, Exiles nearly always received the short end of the stick. However one of their unique traits has been its titular mechanic and discard themes. We have finally implimented this mechanic, allowing you to open up the graveyard scroll view and drag cards directly from their into play.
Exile Rework Sneak Peek Exiles themselves are also in the process of getting a variety of redesigns, buffs, and tweaks to over half of their cards to help reduce the pure amount of randomness in the faction, make them not have more cross-synergy with other factions, and improve their cost curves so they have a better variety of early, mid, and lategame options. These changes are currently still in progress and are scheduled to be complete next patch, in the meantime enjoy getting an early look at some of the changes and give us your feedback.
Minor Features
Dynamic Banlist We have added a network enabled banlist that will allow us to disable certain cards from multiplayer matches without requiring a new patch. This means that if game-breaking bugs are found we can make sure it doesn't ruin people's experience.
New Spotlight Card
Ao Shun, Incognito Cost:1 Morale:8 (DoDx1) Unique Character - Dragon At the end of each turn, if Ao Shun is deployed and an opponent lost 8 or more morale this turn, draw a card. 0/6

All players now have the ability to download Infinity Wars Classic through Steam directly. Just make sure your game is up to date and you'll be good to go! This is a great way to get hands-on with what we've created so far as a bit of a sample of what's to come.
Patch Notes
Major Features
Now 600+ Cards available
An exciting milestone for us here at the team, we hope to start running additional tournaments, events, and prizes as more and more of the old cards become available. So get out there and start brewing some new decks.
Deck zone and Card Improvements
Each player's deck is now visible on the play area and can be searched through for cards that look through the deck. You may also look at what cards remain in your deck at any time, not that this view does not allow you to see the order of your library, instead ordering by cost and type.
Minor Features
New Spotlight Card
Duct Tape Enthusiast Cost:3 Morale:2 (GENx1) Character - Human When Duct Tape Enthusiast is deployed, target Artificial Character is healed fully. 4/8 Special thanks to Xeyron for the design during our Genesis design competition
New Cards
New Restricted Cards
Confront The Aether
Lucca, Returning Passion
Secrets of Veroria
Seedbearer Angel
These are Intrigue set cards, and are restricted to Devs and special events for testing and balance evaluation.
IW1 Cards Implemented

Bromich's Banner
Brute Spawn
Burden Of Command
Called Shot
Chain Lightning
Cloaked Operative

Ghost Knight
Herald of Dawn
Infiltration
Inter-Dimensional Phase Bot
Master of Demons

Tempus, Champion Of Patience
The Dragon Project
The Virus of Avarrach
Tracks The Cowardly
Undisturbed Necropolis
Void Split
Balance Changes
Herald of Dawn - now targets a single character card in your hand, rather than applying to the next Character card you cast next turn. At this time it isn't feasible to add a buffer system that modifies the next card cast on a time delay for 1-2 cards. This change keeps the majority of the functionality of the card. Decimator - now gains extra attacks from any damage dealt, not just combat damage. This will allow for some additional strategy and deckbuilding opputunities with the card to be used either with or against damage based ability cards.
Bugfixes
Fixed being able to drag cards out of the deck zone
Fixed some new premium battlefields not appearing during multiplayer games
Fixed Liand, The Fearless effect fails if Liand dies before the end of the turn.
Fixed Feast on the Dead causing the game to freeze
Fixed Kael having the "Artificial" sub-type

Fixed Flame Dawn Purifier's Ability
Fixed conflicting deck restrictions, so Adding Swarmer Broodlord & Bek Dragon Tamer to a deck, allows you to pick both Insectoids and Dragons, instead of only insectoids
Fixed Zunshen's on deploy effect triggered twice, causing units to take quarter damage.
Fixed how Nysrugh the Hungry works with replace death effects
Fixed The Last Sleeper raising from GY as a 26/26 (should be 16/16)
Fixed Feast of the Dead stays on screen after you use it if Tome of the Dead triggers at end of turn
Fixed Copying Cards with Nova freezing the game
Fixed Demonborn gaining +1/+1 from itself
Fixed Many items like titles or profile portraits going missing in the last update.
Infinity Heroes - Fixed Wish Transformed Units not updating flying animation until next targeting cycle.
Infinity Heroes - Fixed OnPlay/Arrival Trigger Not Working
Infinity Heroes - Fixed Hand zone canvas group alpha being overriden, resulting in invisible hand cards
Infinity Heroes - Fixed Cornicen does not summon the token in the defense zone when summoned from the hand
Infinity Heroes - Call The Crusade no longer gives everyone, not just friendly, not just in the attack zone, +2/0.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.34. The patch landed last week, however the patch notes never got posted up due to a team member being sick. We absolutely do not blame anyone specifically for the delays, especially not Jason. Yeah. Anyway, here's what's new in Patch 0.34
Reminder: FREE DEMO
All players now have the ability to download Infinity Wars Classic through Steam directly. Just make sure your game is up to date and you'll be good to go! This is a great way to get hands-on with what we've created so far as a bit of a sample of what's to come.
Patch Notes
Major Features
Graveyard targeting
Cards in the graveyards can now be targeted when appropriate, cards that only target graveyards will automatically open the graveyard layout. The UI now allows for zooming and easier navigation control within this graveyard layout. This has allowed us to implement a number of graveyard themed cards from IW1.
New Premium Battlefields
Added Access to 9 new premium stages from Infinity Wars, these can be accessed via the profiles tab. These Battlefield are:
Altar of Madness
Cathedral of Flames
Cathedral of Solace
Eden Manufacturing
Nature's Sanctuary
Palace of the Dynasties
Western Front
Corrupted Lab
Hydra Den
Minor Feature:
UI Corner Borders
Added new UI background elements to blend the backgrounds of IW1 into our currrent UI and prevent visual errors from some widescreen users
New Cards
Apothena, The Collector Cost:7 Morale:12 (SoA x2) Unique Character - Undead Infect At the end of turn, if Apothena is deployed, all enemy Characters on the battlefield become Poisoned, taking 2 damage at the end of turn. (This poison stacks and is infectious.) 16/24
New Restricted Cards
Conflagation Engine
Drill Sergeant
Duct Tape Enthusiast
Gao Han, With Purpose
Shamba's Unity
Skittering Tide
Finds the Hidden
Battlefield Shade
IW1 Cards Implemented
Agent Coyle, Zomborg
Awaken
Black Bind Witch
Champion's Attendant
Extended Operation
Genetic Splicing
Kills By Leaping
Pilgrimage Monk
Precautionary Measures
Raise Dead
Reborn
Siphon Structure
Swarmer Broodlord
Temporary Mass Reality Shift
Tome of The Dead
Word of Command
Zom-B-Gone 4000
Agent Coyle, Primal Hunter
Recycle
Cards Temporarily removed for technical reasons
Shrine to the Heavens Inevitable Dead
Balance Changes
Grandmaster Rome | +1 Resource Cost, Angel stats changed to 6/2 and 2/6 (from 8/2 and 2/8) Rome was overtuned for a number of reasons, adding too much stats to the board at his cost. Kali, Reluctant Leader | activated ability now exhausts for 2 turns. We are looking forward to seeing Aspirant based decks be an alternative gameplan for Flame Dawn, but the activated ability had low cost of opputunity from either combat or the command zone, and thus has been adjusted to require more thoughtful timing. United Front | now activates each Sage automatically when played and spawns the sages in the support zone. United Front was released without sufficient internal testing and was far far too weak, it has been given a significant boost in initial impact and no longer can cause you to lose huge amounts of morale due to the sages going directly into the defense zone. Tygris, Politically Inclined | Artificial Token Buff changed to a +1/+1 buff to all tokens you control. Tygris's previous design was too narrow, and artificial decks have had sufficient support. This new design will allow for different styles of decks to emerge while still working well with GI's internal synergies. Black Bind Witch | Overcharge is now optional and any card that kills her is sacrificed to prevent infinite loops While Black Bind Witch is already a powerful CoV option, we ran into several technical implimentation issues that indirectly causes the following buffs: because Overcharge now happens on resolution, it can't predict if there will be cards in hand to overcharge. This means Black Bind Witch can be played as a vanilla 3/3 with no abilities. The 2nd change is because her trigger is something that then can reapply the same effect as what causes the trigger, meaning that if two black bind witches hit and kill each other it would cause an infinite loop with our current systems. sacrifice is more powerful (lack of morale loss aside.) but prevents these loops. Genetic Splicing | now adds all of the following types: Human, Beast, Demon, Artifical, Angel and Insectoid This card was very weak but comes with the dream of using tribal effects outside their usual context, so we did not have UI available to choose a single type to add, so it instead adds all the options, as well as Artificial to help support that tribal theme. Champion's Attendant | now buffs a target champion Due to us removing the mechanical downside of Champion, Attendant can now choose between any champions rather than it autoselecting for you.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.33. Our biggest focuses for this patch have been the new Demo mode that just went live earlier today, as well as the reworked resolution phase, which has been several months in development.
Patch Notes
Major Features
Demo Mode We have added a Demo Mode for players to get a preview of Infinity Wars classic for those that are not subscribed to our Patreon campaign, this gives only single-player preset decks that you can try out a small fragment of the game against AI opponents. We'll be looking at a full free to play launch once the game is further along in it's development, but for now this should make a nice hit of nostalgia to old players, or a good way to try it before you buy it as someone considering becoming a Patron subscriber. Regardless, it's now sitting on the main branch of Infinity Wars 1, so you should be able to get in super easy. Enjoy!
Trading Post and Mulligan Changes The Trading Post has undergone a massive rework, restored to it's former IW1 functionality, cards are now drawn instantly for the trading post and Mulligans now work the same as in IW1 and you can mulligan any number of times on the first turn. Do note that Trading Post actions cannot be undone. Trading post actions now happen before any other triggers or effects in resolution.
Resolution Rework The resolution phase has undergone a large rewrite of it's codebase, allowing us to support more gamemodes and projects in the Infinity Engine, as well as bring the order of resolution in IWC into line with IW1, without disrupting IH. Triggers can now also interrupt the resolution phase at any time, allowing us to add more VFX and feedback to different triggers such as "On Enters Combat" or "On Attack" triggers.
Trigger Rework In conjunction with the resolution rework, we also have done a large rework of the trigger system, allowing us to grant temporary or permanent triggers via our modifier system, this allows us to make many new types of cards and many old cards that were previously difficult to implement.
Click To Continue Resolution Option To help assist players in complex board states or those newer to the game, we have added multiple "Click to Continue" resolution options that will pause the resolution phase during triggers and effects until you wish to continue. This can be enabled for just your opponent's cards, all cards, or disabled. See the Options Menu dropdown.
Minor Features:
Turn Timer Syncing - Multiplayer turn timers will now synchronize much more accurately as well as work with both the "click to continue" resolution and fast forward options.
Balance Changes:
Xac's Demon Form changed from 15/15 Consume 2 and "If Xac kills a character as a Lord of the Pit, that Character's controller must sacrifice a Character next turn. This effect can only happen once per turn." to 16/16 Consume 6 and Plunder 1.
New IWC Cards:
Cathleen
Cost:2 Morale:4 (WPx1 & FDx1) Unique Character - Human As long as Cathleen is Deployed, whenever another character you control is deployed, it gains +2/+2 until end of turn. 6/6
New IW1 Cards:
Cassical, The Selfless
Crazed Augmenter
Flux Capacitor

Glory of the Empire

Fixed Infested Hulker's enraged missing card text "Infect" (the infect still works this is only visual)
