Patch 0.15.3 is primarily a bug-fix patch. The major content change is that Purple cards are moving to Core and Q-mode will be disabled. UI polish is ongoing.
We’re moving ever-closer to Beta and the account wipe! Your assistance in getting the game into the best possible shape is greatly appreciated - we’re incredibly grateful for all of the great bug reports and suggestions that have been submitted in the last few weeks.

Action System
The action system has been revised. In general, things work like they did before but additional actions interact in more intuitive ways. The most noticeable changes include: the removal of all ‘restore action’ effects (these have been replaced in all cases with ‘grant action’ effects), minions can now have multiple standard actions, and Energy Actions have become Utility Actions, which are now used in a wider variety of places. In addition, abilities that grant specific types of actions (like Swift and Frenzy) have had their functionality standardized. What follows is a detailed description of how all of the actions work and how they are tracked. In general, actions should now work how you expect if you only read the basic tooltips, and feedback on any dissonance between those tooltips and these more detailed action rules would be greatly appreciated.

Patch Notes v0.15
This is the Purplest patch we’ve ever done! Purple cards are available to Q-mode testers. Q-mode is a testing-only mode that allows you to build and test decks with cards you do not own. If you were level 15 before this patch deployed, you will automatically be given Q-mode access; you just need to enable it in the Options menu. Other high-level players who have been active in the community can request Q-mode access on Discord from rhino_turbo. Purple cards will be available for all players later this summer.

Patch Notes v0.14.1
0.14.1 is primarily a bug fix patch.

Known Issues
Cards/Tuning
Infuse(power)
Undoing this change, which was in anticipation of a stealthy new mechanic... we’ve got it figured out better now though, so feel free to buff your enemies into Gigantomachia range once again!
Kushiel the Unforgiving
Converting this into a full action avoids a bug with the way it overlapped with Frenzy, but it also just adds a bit of flexibility.

Patch Notes v0.14
Given the size of this patch, it almost feels like it would be faster to tell you what hasn’t changed, but that would be less entertaining to pore over than the stacked list below. Give that scrolling finger a workout by digging into balance changes that refocus the meta on tactical minion combat, crafting and rewards tuning, social features, and more stuff than is reasonable to synopsize!
Revamped Card Layout
(Note that this is still a work in progress and we expect to iterate on it further as we approach beta)
Features & Bug Fixes
Known Issues
Artifact Changes
Many artifacts now have durability (shown on the card next to their emblem). When damage is dealt to a player, an equal amount of damage carries over to their artifacts, starting with the “outermost” slot. When the durability of an artifact is reduced to zero, it is destroyed. Excess damage automatically applies to the next artifact in line, and so forth.
Many of the artifacts are now stackable. Artifacts in a stack have independent durability.
High-value artifacts needed systemic counterplay that doesn’t require us to push an unhealthy number of hate cards into core.
Cards/Tuning
Heads Up - Text Changes
This patch we’re updating a lot of card rules text to make effects that work the same way share wordings, cutting down on individual cases where wordings differed for arbitrary or stylistic reasons. These tweaks shouldn’t be very disruptive and the functionality is unchanged, (otherwise they’re listed below!) hence this note rather than an exhaustive list.
Alchemical Key
Alkonost
Allfather’s Horn
To clarify, Horn has always refreshed your gems in addition to your mana as part of its “take another turn”-like flavor, but the additional card may have been a bit strong.
Blackened Jotun
Black Hatter
Bold Omega
Bolt From the Blue
One of the persistent tuning problems with blue as a faction has been that in addition to being good at area of effect damage and using enchantments to build threatening minions, containing cheap single target removal also makes Norden king of spell-slinging and card efficiency. Big changes like these have meta shaking impact, but are part of a larger effort to solidify faction identity and balance before beta and the wipe.
Bragi Runesinger
Breath of Wintertide
Calliope Muse
Cataclysm
Unpacking the differences between a game like Mythgard and all the more open-fielded card combat systems out there comes with surprising little tuning revelations, and promoting positional, strategic play means that board clearing spells don’t get to be quite as crushingly competitive.
Chort Stag
Circle of Protection
Extending the protection a bit in 2v2. Crimson Pact
As good a spot as any to talk a little about this big shift in the meta; Removal and deck cycling efficiency have a pretty chilling effect on tactical, board-presence-based play. With shifts like this, it should be a bit easier to make progress by playing minions and making smart trades.
Cyclopean Giant
Detained
Dragon’s Teeth
Draupnir Band
Dream Weaver
Eir Healing
Increasing the odds that you’ll actually care for some poor wounded minions while healing your way through the deck using what was always a very stall-oriented spell.
Extract Life
Forked Lightning
Now has a damage profile that’s actually “forked”!
Forge Elemental(created by the Fires of Creation path)
Giant’s Stairway
Godsblud Transfusion
Goliath’s Web
Hacker’s Intuition
Hekate’s Wheel
Requiring occupancy reinforces the pattern that board control is more about contesting lanes and less about “fire and forget” effects shutting down parts of the battlefield.
Helm of Conscription
Ice Spike
Ichor Feast
Infuse (power)
The Invisible City
In 2v2, control over the center lane enchantment is usually a matter of who is playing into it or taking action at the moment, which unfortunately isn’t clear at the start of your turn, when the “Throne” cycle of enchantments are alternating controllers and handing out cards. This change makes an occupied The Invisible City, Odinthrone, Sacrificial Altar, Temple at Delphi, or Treasury of Petra high value in 2v2 regardless of where it’s sitting or who currently has control.
Ironbelly Wyvern
Leshy Greene
The Long Winter
Given the degree to which it’s capable of slowing the game down, intent here is to increase counterplay and make The Long Winter’s position on the board more important and contested.
Matryoshka
Mend (power)
See the Smite change for additional context, would be a little silly for these two powers to negate each other that directly.
Meso Libre
Misanthropia
Model of Duality
Mothmara
Odinthrone
See The Invisible City change for context.
Ollama Ring
Orbital Jamming Satellite
Ourania Muse
Panic Raider
Pit Fiend
Quicksand Hourglass
Radiant Vessel
Raid the Tombs
Sacrificial Altar
See The Invisible City change for context. Sapo, the Devourer
In the mind of a godlike amphibian, devour and destroy mean the same thing, but it’s probably better to be clear about things like this (and the way it works in 2v2). Additionally, making dat belly a buff instead of a base size increase means that it can be suppressed.
Samosek, the Living Sword
Sandscale Wurm
Sea Lord’s Trident
Serpent Den
The value-over-time proposition is obviously the point of serpents, but the den self-solves its own potential lane clogging problems too well for interesting options like the Impel power to combo with it.
Shroud of the Pit
Singing Stone
This doesn’t change the stone’s functionality much, but doing it this way simplifies it somewhat and gets rid of a lot of noisy/redundant text all over your enchantments.
Smite (power)
Not just a test of the “how much impact can a single number going down by one have?” system, but a necessary change to support a world where player damage erodes artifact durability.
Spear of Destiny
Spellflux Cauldron
The Stretcher
Tailroot Wurm
Temple at Delphi
