PVP Matchmaking
Hello,
We're working on some changes on the matchmaking algorithm for PvP. Both ELO Rating and Deck Value are now used to find an opponent. Higher your rating, your deck value will be less important.
We're monitoring these changes during the weekend and we are working on a complete "revamp" of the PvP system as the "new big feature" after this Expansion.
Let us know if you notice any difference in your matches.
Regards,
The Expansion (Patch Notes v0.2.5)

A few new abilities have been added into the game, some of these will be present in the new cards from the Expansion.

All the "Faction" craft materials from the Basic and Sealords Editions, have been unified in one single material. This will make the crafting easier and simpler, and especially will avoid misclicks purchasing these from the Raids Shop.

The hourly cards rarities will always be, 1 rare, 1 epic and 1 legendary. Also, the cards pool has been substantially increased, meaning that there is a lot more variety now.
