[*] Temple of Space’s special cost when its ability triggers is now 2 mana (up from 1). [/list] [h2]NEW CARDS[/h2] Two new cards will be introduced in May: a new neutral Epic Feline and a new neutral Toad. [h3]Froglet Strays[/h3] [url={STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32724087/689fd6c173a3e1a4ac6b71afab7a4f47da25090a.png][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32724087/f758dfa5d4299920a5eec9475efcfa8a7db92e48.png[/img][/url] [list] [*] KINGDOM: Neutral [*] RARITY: Rare [*] UNIT TYPE: Toad [*] MANA: 4 [*] MOVEMENT: 1 [*] STRENGTH: 3/4/5/6/7 [*] ABILITY: On play, gain 2 strength for every surrounding enemy unit [/list] [h3]Angelic Tikas[/h3] [url={STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32724087/b7ce8eb955f85c76c4501176031250ddf2607e87.png][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32724087/5b2aa223114c26e5b3b22db3034dc32e162e922e.png[/img][/url] [list] [*] KINGDOM: Neutral [*] RARITY: Epic [*] UNIT TYPE: Feline Ancient [*] MANA: 3 [*] MOVEMENT: 1 [*] STRENGTH: 2/3/4/5/6 [*] ABILITY: Before moving, confuse a random surrounding enemy unit, then teleport to the tile in front [/list] As usual, there will be $9.99 exclusive packs for every new card. Froglet Strays pack will include 5 copies as well as 750 coins and 5 fusion stones. Angelic Tikas pack will include 3 as well as 750 coins and 5 fusion stones. It's now possible to buy more than one exclusive pack each. [h2]NEW BRAWLS[/h2] Similar to what we did in the last months — we will introduce 2 new Brawl modifiers for the 2 new cards. We think it’s a good way for you to be able to try, play with and enjoy newly added cards before you start collecting them. Like last time, a 0-mana level 1 (unless owned and leveled) copy of the new card will be added to everyone’s deck (thus causing all decks to have 13 cards). [h2]DRAFT CHANGES[/h2] This release will also introduce 2 draft changes: [list] [*] The cost of entry gets reduced back to 1 Ticket Card. [*] The free Ticket Card will now be available every 2 weeks instead of every week. [/list] It will increase the number of Draft Sessions players can play (because of the calendar Ticket Cards, and more sources of Ticket Cards that will be available in future).
