Eternal Card Game

 
Eternal Live Balance Update – 4/24/2024Apr 24, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26908411/017b1d3a19dab624b329b484d754c9038c51ddde.png Introduction Introducing the latest balance patch for Eternal—and this one’s geared towards draft aficionados! In this week’s update, we are taking a broad approach and making light adjustments to a full 20 cards, aimed at creating a refreshed draft meta where every card counts and your strategic expertise reigns supreme! Expedition Tweaks Of course, we couldn’t leave Expedition hanging so here are two staples we’re adjusting: Calm Instructor loses Charge, gains Quickdraw Grove Supplier to 0/2 (was 1/2) Expedition is in a healthy place overall right now, but we’re still seeing a few decks with higher win rates than we like. To address this, we’re implementing some changes targeting aggressive Fire-based decks intended to reduce their raw damage while adding some strategic depth. Calm Instructor as a 2/1 Quickdraw in the deck generates a lot of opportunities for bluffing and increasing the utility of fast damage spells. Meanwhile, tweaking some of Grove Supplier’s strength prompts opposing players to make more nuanced decisions about whether to prioritize eliminating the Supplier or the units it enhances, rather than defaulting to targeting the Supplier every time. Draft Buffs The following adjustments are designed to inject some spice into the meta while also supporting specific factions and archetypes that may be lagging behind. Sandspout Mirage to 3T (was 4T) Steelwarren Tunneler gains Endurance Lured Songbird costs 4 less if a relic went to your void this turn (was 3 less) Rebellious Mistral to 5JJ (was 6JJ) Infamous Huntress to 1/2 (was 1/1) Hand of the Hecaton’s Summon is now, “You may sacrifice a unit to Hunt 3.” (was Hunt 2) Vizier’s Tablet ’s ability gains, “After the fifth use, Vizier Tablet’s sacrifice and draw a card of your choice from their void.” Warren Spymistress’s Bolster to +2 Strength (was +1 Strength). Telia's Choice now gives +3/+3 (was +2/+2) Influence Nerfs The following cards are all having a single point of influence requirement added: Hive Lantern to 2FF (was 2F) Liquid Flame to 3FF (was 3F) Beekeeper to 3TT (was 3T) Druid of the Sands to 4TT (was 4T) Charming Steelguard to 3JJ (was 3J) Prepared Tracker to 3JJ (was 3J) Changeestik to 2PP (was 2P) Nocturnal Glider to 3PP (was 3P) Extinguish to 3SS (was 3S) We’re happy that multifaction decks have been such a hit in Battle Lines draft, but right now decks that run all the best cards across 4-5 factions are completely dominating more focused 2-3 faction archetypes. By increasing the influence requirements of some key commons and uncommons, we hope to create more impactful drafting decisions and increase deck diversity. As always, we thank you for your continued support and can’t wait to see what you do!

This patch is heavily Expedition-focused, targeting some outliers to bring them more in line. Nerfs The Winter Fox to 10-cost, -1 cost for every 2 cards you have Hunted (was 12-cost, -1 cost for every card you have Hunted). Corrupted Riftborn to 5/4 (was 5/5). Light the Beacon to 5-cost (was 4-cost). Deeptrail Vanguard now 2/4 and grants the drawn spell Voidbound (was 2/5). Unstable Hellion loses Overwhelm. The Winter Fox is an exciting quest, but can lead to uninteractive and one-sided games when it comes down too early. Decreasing the maximum cost while reducing the speed of the discount should keep it in a healthier range, while increasing the impact of Advantages gained from hunting. Corrupted Riftborn, Deeptrail Vanguard, and Light the Beacon all have strategic gameplay we believe in, but their current rates have led them to be more dominant than we’d like. These changes should reduce their ubiquity while leaving them as viable options for decks that want to build around them. Unstable Hellion’s Overwhelm has often meant that if you don’t have an answer to it immediately, you’re dead. Drawing a blocker to trade with the Hellion on its second attack often still meant taking 15 damage to your face. Removing the Overwhelm preserves the gameplay of maximizing its Emtomb damage while making blockers a more viable defensive option. Buffs Gold Mine to 2-cost (was 3-cost) Duel for Steelwarren to 5-cost (was 6-cost) Fiera, On the Frontlines to 5-cost (was 6-cost) One Eye Returned to 3/5 (was 3/4) Champion of Vengeance to 4/4 (was 3/3) Reeve's Mandate gains “Can’t be negated.” Insatiable Gorger to 4-cost (was 5- cost) These are a variety of changes intended to buff underperforming archetypes or inspire new avenues of exploration. The Reeve’s Mandate change in particular should provide more counterplay to the many powerful negate effects that are currently seeing play. Deeptrail Vanguard is in The Devouring set and Unstable Hellion was recently introduced in the Community Bundle. Players will receive 1,250 gold if they bought the base bundles and an additional 1,250 gold if they bought the premium versions. Corrupted Riftborn premiered in December 2023’s Eternal Chapter – Riftbreakers; players who purchased that chapter will receive 650 gold. All other crafted cards that are receiving a nerf can be destroyed for a full refund. You can check out hover-over card images on our news site: this patch will be live later today and we will update the forums accordingly. Happy playing!

First things first, Buffmas has come early! When we nerf a card due to its performance in Expedition, that can often push it out of Throne as well. We want to take this opportunity to revert a bunch of changes for cards that are no longer in Expedition and might be fun additions to the Throne metagame. Phoenix Stone costs 2 to activate (was 3) Soulfire Drake to 5FFF (was 6FFF) Helena, Skyguide to 3/4 and +3/+4 (was 3/3 and +1/+1) Scalesworn Patrol gains Inscribe Vine Tangler costs 7 to activate (was 9) Slumbering Stone now plays the 2/2 Gargoyle on Entomb (was draw a 2/2 Gargoyle) Heart of the Vault to 6/6 (was 5/5) Acclaimed Artisan to Mastery 4 (was Mastery 6) The Bandit Queen to 3/3 (was 3/2) Eremot’s Machinations to 5TS (was 6TTSS) The Merriest Mandrake to 0/4 (was 0/3) However, alongside these joyous buffs, there is one particular card that’s been causing some problems of late. Spire Shadows has always been an interesting buildaround, but a dangerous and often uninteractive amount of cost reduction. The recent addition of the Recruit mechanic has pushed the deck to high popularity. While its win rate has remained relatively average due to weak aggro matchups, it preys heavily on midrange decks and has been reducing variety in the Throne metagame. Spire Shadows becomes a Relic with “Once per turn, when you draw a unit with higher cost than Strength, swap them. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26908411/0a64c71d48b538548a9ed806ae09c70acf3df8a6.png We experimented with a variety of changes, but just increasing the cost or making it a relic pushed the deck even more towards trying to set up a big combo turn without giving the opponent a chance to interact. This version maintains the low cost to start benefiting early, but increases counterplay and limits Recruit and Market shenanigans. Note that multiple copies in play trigger separately, so having three will swap the first three appropriate units you draw each turn. Note: As Spire Shadows was only available through the set, Shadow of the Spire set, we are giving a one-time grant of 1,250 gold to users who purchased the set. Users that purchased the premium versions of the set will receive an additional 1,250 gold. Users will, of course, keep all their copies of the cards.

The primary focus of this patch is Draft, but we’re making some small Expedition-targeted changes as well. Expedition Lipa, Witch of the Woods to 1/1 (was 2/1) Karrina, Embercaster to 3/3 (was 4/3 Kid, Grove's Heart to 3/2 (was 3/3) Turnabout now deals 2 damage even if the unit wasn’t played this turn. (Still 6 damage if the unit was played this turn, was no damage otherwise.) Lipa’s base rate has been high enough to see play in almost every Primal Expedition deck, from the most aggressive to the most controlling. And that’s before you start taking advantage of her synergies with Mirror Image, General Fiera, or the new Devour mechanic. Losing a point of power should reduce her ubiquity and speed at closing out games while leaving her a viable option for decks that take particular advantage of her. Charge-heavy strategies with Kid, Grove’s Heart have also proven to be a bit too fast and resilient, capable of racing down opponents who stumble even slightly. We don’t want to be too heavy-handed while the new metagame is developing, but minor nerfs to Kid and Karrina should allow a little more room for new strategies to emerge. Turnabout was designed to be a strong answer to these Charge-heavy strategies, but the weakness of the base use has been too limiting to succeed in that role. We’re raising the floor while making sure it’s still at its best when used tactically against Charge, Killer, and Ambush. Draft Aerial Suppression to 2-cost (was 1-cost) Fireguide to 2/4 (was 4/4) Contraption Crafter to 1/3 (was 0/4) Forked Lightning to 2-cost (was 3-cost) Cunning Plan to 5SS non-fast (was 7SS Fast) Putrefying Presence gains “Draw a card.” Sonic Blast to 2-cost (was 3-cost) Glory Seeker Renown bonus now grants +1/+1 and Lifesteal (was just Lifesteal) Please note these images will be updated to reflect changes later today. Fire has been overperforming in draft while Shadow has been lagging in last place. We’re taking two fire commons down a notch, giving Primal some better options for fighting against Nomad, and buffing several shadow commons and uncommons. Shadow’s Renown archetype was struggling in particular, so most of our buffs are focused there. We had intentionally aimed low with Putrefying Presence, with the goal of being a low-power Renown enabler that wouldn’t get scooped up by other decks. In practice, Renown has had plenty of enablers but hasn’t paid off enough when its game plan comes together. Along with these balance update, we’re also fixing a lot of bugs that were found: Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue where Fiera, On the Frontlines didn’t apply to Ziat, Whatever It Takes and Veli, Always Watching. Fixed an issue where Insatiable Gorger could be triggered by enemy Devour effects Fixed an issue where Quinn, Skullhaven Warden’s buff didn’t persist through zone changes or unit copying Fixed an issue where Theran Snipe...War Effort—Eternal Chapters 21, November 2023Nov 1, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26908411/5f13eef6ccf14e4491b57917d473e08aa54a62bf.png Eternals— The War Effort demands action, and Vara is sure about her moves.
