[h2]CARD CHANGES[/h2] [expand type=details] - Bitter Winter Old: Deal 3 Frost Damage to all minions. Summon 4 Shiverbone Slimes. New: Freeze all characters and Deal 2 Frost damage to them. Developer Note: This spell felt too strong for an 8-mana Mythic so we gave its effect to Dark Scholar's Ritual and toned down this spell. - Cindersoot Keg Old: After you cast a Pyro Spell, summon a Cindersoot Monkey in an enemy occupied column. New: Your Cindersoot Monkeys have +1 Power. After you cast a Pyro spell, add a Cindersoot Monkey to your hand. - Pyreball - Faction Changed: Balance -> Neutral [i]Developer Note: We felt Pyreball didn't fit the Balance class identity anymore, so we've shifted this to a neutral spell.[/i] - Rimepaw Old: Before attacking, Freeze the target. New: Before attacking a minion, Freeze the target. - Shiverbone Dagger Old: Before attacking, Freeze the target. New: Before attacking a minion, Freeze the target. Developer Note: These effects were updated due to the hero now being freezable, Rimepaw and Shiverbone Dagger function exactly the same. - Shaofin Novice - Faction Changed: Balance -> Neutral - Shiverfin Siren - Power Increased: 2 -> 6 - Health Increased: 2 -> 4 Old: Played: Give your minions, "Death: Summon a Shivershade". New: Played: Give a friendly minion, "Death: Summon a Shivershade". [i]Developer Note: This effect was overpowered to compensate for lacking Shivershade support, it has now been toned down now that more cards are in the archetype. Its stats were updated to reflect its new effect.[/i] [h3]Devour Sub-archetype[/h3] [i]Developer Note: Devour saw an overhaul in effects for some of its cards in the sub-archetype. Most Devour cards no longer seek to mill the opponent but use Devour effects to gain advantage through buffs.
