Hey everyone and welcome to the Patch Notes for 11.6! This is another patch in between card drops so we are bringing the next batch of reworks and updates to existing cards. This time there is a general nature theme but every faction gets some attention. For an overview of this patch, check out the Developer Update with Molegion, Ola, and Ryan: [previewyoutube=umKgH-hnxz4;full][/previewyoutube] [b]New Features[/b] Introducing the Cycle Progression System - Kicking off our new progression system is the Summer Cycle. Each Cycle promotes different card sets, and in order to complete quests and unlock new rewards in this system, you will need to play Ranked mode using decks made from cards in these Cycle-specific sets. The Base set, Starter set, Thronebreaker, and Novigrad cards are supported by all Cycles. The Summer Cycle additionally supports cards from Crimson Curse and Way of the Witcher. The Summer Cycle starts with update 11.6, and is available until the end of update 11.8. [b]Changes[/b] [b]Neutral[/b] Musicians of Blaviken - Power changed from 6 to 4.
