Profile Level Rewards

• The profile level reward table has been updated. It now has better prizes, with several legendary cards and legendary skins.
• Two Masters are now in level rewards: Volco and Milloween.
• Rubies will no longer appear in the Profile Rewards
• You will be eligible to claim these new rewards even if you have already reached the level before 2.0 launch.

Card Promotion & Glory Changes

• Upgrading your cards now yields rewards (in addition to granting extra Glory and an upgraded card frame). Prizes include Power Tokens, Cards and Gold!
• You will be eligible to claim these new rewards even if you have already upgraded your cards before 2.0 launch.
• Multiple copies of a card will no longer be required for Wild carding a card. Owning a single copy of a card will allow you to play multiple copies of it (where allowed).
• The Glory system has been reworked. A card now gives 1 Glory that counts towards your Season Pass progress when winning a match. Through upgrading to Gold tier, a card can contribute to a maximum of 5 Glory.

Shop

• Prices on certain items have been adjusted - Legendary cards and skins are now cheaper across the board. See above.
• Featured Offers are generally cheaper.
• Increased the amount of Daily Offers to 12 per day.
• Daily Offers now only cost Gold.
• All items previously only for sale for Rubies now will **also appear as Daily Offers**, to be purchasable for Gold. (Including Legendary Skins and Arenas!).
• Free Rubies will continue to appear as a claim.

Season Pass

• The price of the Season Pass has been decreased from 1250 to 1050 rubies.
• Season Pass no longer contains Rubies.
• The Battle Chest feature has been removed. (Instead, Daily Quests will yield Battle Pass XP, see below).
• More value has been added to the Season Pass to compensate for House Event and Conquest being discontinued, such as an extra legendary card in the Free reward track.
• Despite these changes, the time it takes to complete the Season Pass is not longer.
• Season Passes will continue to have new cards and Masters for FREE!

Ranked Rewards

• Ranked Rewards are now consolidated into a single reward track. The seasonal Ranked rewards can be progressed through playing any ranked game mode you prefer, but each reward can only be claimed once.
• Rewards are higher to compensate.

• Rewards no longer contain Rubies - (See above.)
• A special reward is added for reaching Contender 2 and 3 times! (you can claim the “3x Contender” reward only if you reach Contender in all 3 game modes).

Adventures

• Adventures make a return in 2.0!
• While no new Adventures are scheduled for launch, we are adding a lot more of these in the future!
• Some old Adventures will be discontinued. The following Adventures will no longer be supported:
1. The Quest for Mountainshaper
2. Saving Jadespark Jungle
3. Nightmares
4. Uprising!
• Owners of the above Adventures will be reimbursed 10.000 Gold for each.

Daily Quests + Achievements

• Daily Quests now grant Season Pass XP in addition to gold.
• Daily Quest gold reward increased across the board (by roughly 40%)
• 11 new Daily Quests have been added!
• 38 new Achievements have been added!

Draft Game Mode Changes

• Draft mode is no longer being restricted by the “Random Card Pool”, (a hidden list of cards that is prohibited in Draft). This list contained cards deemed too hard to use effectively because it required synergy with cards that would be hard to draft. We think this rule made the game mode much less fun, as it takes the fun out of deck building. This list contained 60+ cards.
• Instead, we introduce “Faction Pools”. With this system, after you choose a Master, they only have access to 4 out of 9 factions. Each Master has access to a unique constellation of Factions.
1. We think this system makes drafting your deck much more interesting, as each Master will have access to different synergies. This system will also allow us to balance draft mode better by changing the factions that a Master has access to.
2. We consider this the start of making Draft mode feel unique and interesting. We would like to add more rule changes in the future to keep the Draft meta fresh and exciting.
• Draft Mode now exists on the Leaderboard!
• Draft Rewards have improved. There is now a chance to earn Legendary Cards for 10+ wins.
• NOTE! We consider this an experiment, and as always, we are eager to hear your feedback in the months coming after the release before we decide if this change should be permanent!

Practice Mode

• “Challenges” were removed but replaced with “Practice Mode”.
• Practice can be played both in Solo and Team. It lets you play against a bot of the difficulty of your own choosing. Perfect for testing out new decks!

Some Game Modes Removed and Decks Resetting

• We didn’t feel Conquest added enough to the player experience. It created pressure to play in a certain way to belong to a guild, which we don’t think makes the game more fun. Also, the “Conquest Cards” feature was very confusing and caused players to think that they would sometimes lose cards. We are looking to add an equivalent in the future!

• We also didn’t feel the House Event was exciting enough. It would force you to play a certain Master a number of times, but didn’t succeed at adding any real value to the player experience.

• As a way to apologize for the inconvenience, **we are adding 6 extra deck slots to your account** if it was created before 2.0 goes live.
