Mythgard's first expansion Rings of Immortality releases next week 9/18!
Mythgard's first expansion, Rings of Immortality is launching next week!
On September 18th, the entire world of Mythgard gathers for the 21st Pantheon Games. While the people come together to celebrate unity, hidden powers plot in the shadows to turn this joyous event into a nightmare.
Forge your way to victory!
Forge is a brand new keyword coming in Rings of Immortality. When you burn a card with Forge it returns to your deck with extra power. This lets you choose between deploying your troops or forging them into their full potential.

Competitive Play
With Mythgardâs last beta season ending on the 18th, we are aiming to make our first official season the most competitive yet! We have partnered with 983 Media in order to run a series of competitive tournaments, all of which will be hosted through the games in-depth tournament client.
This tournament series starts with the launch of the Rings of Immortality expansion, where players are invited to play in a draft tournament to celebrate the release. These smaller competitive contests, titles Mythgard Flashpoint's, will offer smaller cash prizes, along with a host of in-game goodies. The main event, The Mythgard Open, will take place over the weekend of the 10th & 11th of October, offering a sizable $1,000 prize pool.
Patch Notes v0.18.5
We took the opportunity while Patch 0.18.5 was delayed in review to fix quite a few additional bugs. As we approach release, we hope to tighten things up more and more - really feeling pretty good about the direction that things are moving despite the delays.

Cards/Tuning
Bridgeway Troll cards made between Jul-22 and Aug-21 should be unmakeable at full value.
Bridgeway Troll
An early Bridgeway Troll created too many win conditions for mono-blue decks in the early game. This change is intended to slow that down just a bit.
Peri at the Gates
Overnerf! We originally changed Peri at the Gates because unrestricted draw was never supposed to be Orangeâs strong suit, and the relatively easier recursion of minions combined with Periâs draw 2 effect made Orange one of the best draw colors. However, a 4[O]O 2/2 that only draws one tanked the cardâs winrate more than intended, so decided to give it something back this patch.
Q-Mode Tuning
Q-mode players can see the changes in the q-mode working doc
Patch Maintenance 8/21 @ 9am PST / 12pm EST
Mythgard servers will be offline to deploy our latest patch tomorrow, 8/21, at 9 am PT. Estimated downtime is approximately 3hr.
Please note that mobile users may experience additional downtime based on their platform and region.
Patch Notes v 0.18.4
The highlights for Patch 0.18.4.x include: a minor (but it feels very significant!) change to a small number of combat keywords, major bug fixes to how the 2v2 rules are implemented, a fix to an extremely annoying bug that got introduced last patch when we rewired the deck editor, and a large batch of tuning changes to Rings of Immortality cards (as well as six new cards added based on feedback from the testers.
I really want to give my heartfelt thanks to the Q-mode testers for their diligent testing and bug reporting. Weâve made a massive number of improvements and tweaks in the last few weeks, and with their help, Iâm feeling better and better about the quality bar that weâll hit when we release the expansion. More than that, itâs been very fun interacting with you all on such a close basis. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Patch Notes v0.18.2.9
As we get close to the expansion release (woo hoo!), weâre re-enabling a feature from Alpha: Q-Mode. This mode lets players marked with the âExternal Testerâ badge play around with the expansion cards for bug testing and balance feedback.
Before anyone gets too worried - weâre much closer to art completion than what youâll see when you first enable q-mode. The card art is over 80% done at this point, but still needs to be framed and put into the game. Most of the visuals and sound effects are also still being worked on as well!

All Fatherâs Horn, Scion of Pride, and Temptation should be unmakeable at full value if crafted between 6/1/2020 and patch release.
Allfatherâs Horn
Featured Deck Contest!
With the latest balance patch settling in we thought it was time for another featured deck contest! Starting right now, we are holding a contest, open to the entire community, to see who can create the most interesting decks to become featured in Mythgard. Have a fantastic Valk deck? A spooky reanimator Valk deck? Or even a Ninja Valk deck?! Itâs time to show the community your brilliant brews!
As with any contest, there are some rules and guidelines:
⢠No more than 3 mythics, no more than 6 rares (6 total not 6 pairs)
⢠You may substitute one mythic FOR two rares but the reverse is not allowed. IE. 0M 12R, 1M 10R, or 2M 8R
⢠Be imaginative! We will be choosing winners based not just on the perceived power of a deck, but also variety, playability, fun factor, and how interesting the deck is. We want to showcase a wide variety of decks with different rarities and power levels to help spread deck ideas to all Mythgard players, while still leaving potential room for tweaking and tuning.
⢠Users can submit up to 3 decks to the contest, so choose your submissions carefully!
⢠Weâre looking for a substantial number of decks - please donât be shy about submitting your ideas!
⢠Decks should be geared towards 1v1 (though theyâll be usable in 2v2 as well).
⢠Please name your decks, and keep it appropriate!
⢠A single person can have more than one of their submissions selected.
Should one of your decks be selected for featuring, youâll receive:
⢠Your username and deck featured in-game (both in the deck menu and during the match intro screen⌠think, âXeneth playing Turboâs Token Trickeryâ)
⢠Mythgard immortality (at least until we decide to do a new run of featured decks)
The contest starts now! The contest end date is Monday 6/22 at noon PT, and we will announce winners after it wraps up. Let us know if you have any questions, and we look forward to seeing your inventions!
Patch 0.18.2 focuses on balance changes, gameplay and bug fixes, and continual iteration on the Alpha Tournament system. It also marks the fourth, and hopefully last, Beta Ranked Ladder season.
Features & Bug Fixes

Cards/Tuning
With Norden dominating a lot of constructed and draft play, one of our primary objectives is getting it under control, ideally without swinging SO hard that Blue suddenly becomes weak; it HAS been nice to see other playstyles in Blue and Purple giving the aggression of Red and Orange or the control of Yellow and Green a hard time for once. This suite of changes is intentionally smaller and more surgical when compared to some past balance patches, but we still tried to find room for a few outliers and problem cards...
Alkonost
This has always been the Harpy that struggles to be relevant, (itâs hard being the eldest in a family with at least two overpowered genius siblings) and with these changes thatâs still not likely to end, but hopefully sheâll at least see some action in the Arena.
Barbed Bolts
Quite weak, (and this wonât change that) but needs to be less constrained for any hope of combining with other colors.
Boneyard Abomination
The fact that this change helps it not be so absolutely bonkers in 2v2 is actually just a side benefit. Even in standard modes, the âplaying againstâ pattern dissatisfaction seems to be less about its raw size and more about where that power is pulled from; it feels brutal to defend against when every negative trade will feed the beast. Ideally this shifts the Abomination to be better in comeback situations than winmore ones.
Bridgeway Troll
It would seem that one of the earliest and least relevant activated minion designs slowly got chain-buffed into seeing play! But with the secret being out that portal tech is actually good, heâs lightly contributing to the trend of Norden dominance, and we canât lay the blame ENTIRELY on Ingrid. Trimming excess power from one of his more flavorful abilities before touching the core, though.
Dashing Ringmaster
Those wordings seem very similar, so what this means in English instead of card-game-ese is that the conditions for getting Rush are now dynamic; if a minionâs strength changes after they hit the board to qualify or not, theyâll gain or lose Rush dynamically. This is happening because the way it worked before could be somewhat confusing, not to mention sneakily powerful in the cases where an advanced understanding of how abilities interact let you circumvent it.
Dire Benediction
When these âtwo-facedâ spells that are designed to work on both sides find their niche, they tend to trade interesting mechanics for one myopic function. Hopefully flattening the output will allow us to reclaim some of that flexible potential from the maw of giant minion burst killing.
Godsblud Transfusion
Many attempts to put a little oomph into this particular combination of âout-trade and heal upâ have proven to be over a surprisingly narrow efficacy line, at least within this rarity and cost bracket. Necessarily returning to the smaller buff state, given this is one of the tools Norden is currently bludgeoning everyone with.
Gemhold Dwarf
Green is generally struggling a bit and not seeing enough play as a color, so thereâs a handful of low impact buffs like these; Most of them less likely to shift a ton of power so much as utility and usability.
Harvester
Sowing the seeds of this draw as an existing corn card was a HYPER flavorful change, but the benefits have proven to be harder to reap than anticipated.
Herald of Conquest
Honed Edge
Similar to Godsblud Transfusion, attempting to reduce power without completely reverting to weaker past positions.
House Elf
Heâs been confused and agitated since being told to leave his home and beat up other minions, so weâre pushing this statline to better match the liâl guyâs fantasy and function with his rarity.
Ingrid Stormdottir
We definitely overreacted to the Valkyrie leader not initially showing up in many decks that should have enjoyed her, but there were probably other factors like Mythic obtainability to blame in addition to the high cost. While it would be a fascinating test of card strength perception to simply revert Ingrid, weâre going to try to find a middle way where sheâs not quite as overpowered.
Isle of Buyan
A little splash-ability might help this show up alongside other colors that are equipped to appreciate it.
Lokiâs Veil
With other bread-and-butter tools in the faction coming down a bit, taking the opportunity to ease access to something strange and niche.
Mavka
A part of the modest Dreni relief efforts, albeit one thatâs less likely to impact constructed than draft modes.
Nine-Tailed Vixen
Because many of the Spirits that she would have fun brokering are in other colors.
Ourania Muse
Simply too expensive, but adding a sort of âsafety gemâ to make sure they donât sneak up on us with reliability in other colors and archetypes.
Parsa Divinity Cannon
Serenity Seawitch
Bringing a bit of utility down below the kind of monocolor threshold that prevents it from feeling playable.
Terragon
Our favorite high-value turtle dragon might be a bit too easy to use, especially when drafted.
Vodnik Informant
With House Elf moving in on his territory, our fishy friend is forced to step up and compete with other one drops.
Wonder Drug
Trading an entire draw for 2 more life is indeed a nerf, but trying to anchor the threshold to the concept of âin single digitsâ in exchange since Yellow isnât currently acting up as a âproblem colorâ (for once). Our efforts to keep game times reasonably low donât always put individual cards in the crosshairs, but the Drug has become a very difficult to assail icon of the âjust run your opponent out of gasâ playbook that can really extend our average match length.
Patch Notes v0.18.0.27
This intermediate patch is focused on fixing bugs -- including a small number of game play bugs introduced in the previous patch, but mostly bugs and usability issues for the Tournaments Alpha.
Features & Bug Fixes

Patch Notes v0.18
This patch has many card bug fixes and introduces the Tournaments Alpha. Please expect tournaments to be bugged to hell (we canât emphasize this enough). Itâs way too big of a feature for a team of our size, especially in the current environment, to test. We plan on patching again ASAP as we continue to iterate on this feature.
