April Fools Community Set | IWC 0.89 Beta Patch NotesApr 20, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/88ec2a55b2f38a296504452cae9ed7eb9aa1948d.pngwww.infinitywarsclassic.com It's time for another Community card set! In case you missed our announcments, here's the rundown: Cryptonomics - 4 Cost - Mission When you Deploy Cryptonomics, increase your maximum resources by 2. At the end of turn, this becomes 25% more complete. When Cryptonomics is 100% complete, decrease your maximum resources by 7 and discard your Hand. Infernal Potato - 2 Cost - Artifact Pay 1, Exhaust: Your opponent gains control of Infernal Potato. At the end of turn, if Infernal Potato wasn't activated or Deployed this turn, it deals 5 damage to your Fortress and you discard a random card. Behold My Brilliant Plan - 3 Cost - Ability Deal 3 damage to an enemy Character. If that kills it, draw a card. Then, if you have 9 or more cards in your Hand, steal 10 morale from your opponent and afflict them with sorrow. If this reduces them to 10 or less morale, instantly win the game. Mathilda "Mads" Fianna - 8 Cost - Unique Human Character 3/21 Pay 4, Overcharge: Draw 2 cards. Activate only once per turn. While Mads is Deployed, whenever you would draw a card from an empty Deck, your opponent loses 10 morale instead of you. You can play Mads from the Graveyard. Puffy - 1 Cost - Unique Fish Character 1/6 At the end of turn, if Puffy is in Play or in your Hand, Puffy chooses a card you can afford from your deck's purities to replace the top card of your Deck. Then, if you have played 8 or more of Puffy's cards, it reveals its true form. ??? - ??? - ??? All who witness it quake in fear. None can save you. Wording Adjustments Unstable Bomb-Bot and Shikana have gained Infernal Potato’s new wording: “wasn't activated or deployed this turn”. Updated tooltips for Exile (“If a card with Exile is discarded from hand, you may play it from the graveyard next turn for its exile cost.”) and Barrier (“When a card with Barrier would be dealt damage or killed by a kill effect, instead a Barrier breaks”). Wording clarification for Undisturbed Necropolis; change “last turn” to “this turn” to reduce ambiguity. Fix wording on Agent Coyle, DivineDemonic to clarify that the maximum each character can get is +1/+1. General Fixes: Fixed Inventory endlessly loading. Fixed create new deck button not reenabling after leaving queue. Card Fixes: Fixed Infested Hulker being able to attempt enrage activation multiple times. Prevented Nysrugh the Ravenous from eating itself. Fixed Vasir's Strategem counting your opponent's cards in hand instead of yours. Also have it recount your cards in hand at resolution time. Fixed Insane Reliquary targeting command zone for buffs when it says deployed only. Fixed cards returning to the attack zone via Verore Kidnapper attacking event when initiative attacker phase has ended. Fixed incorrect rarity of Cyber Infested Dragon. Fixed Nysrugh The Hungry returning duplicates of its targeted card. Fixed Counting The Days not removing itself on mission completion w...April Blog News Round Up: New cards, UI, and SaSo host to show new cards!Apr 17, 2024 - Community Announcements2024 has been ramping up to be a great year for Infinity Wars! A lot of fantastic times are abound, and a lot has already happened, so we wanted to go over all of it with a post! New User Interface Update! A couple of weeks ago we had a new patch and we gave some nice polish to help modernize our game's interface! The menu and both the mid-match interface both received some love! While a new fresh look is always exciting, there's always more to be done! Be on the lookout for more quality of life improvements that will be occurring soon! A new non-Coyle host for this week's Sanctuary Social! We're back again with another week of Sanctuary Socials... but with a slight twist!

Later this week Saturday at 8pm EST, we're going to have Gameipedia hosting this week's stream, so be sure to show up! So be sure to join and try out the new cards for yourself! Like with every other Sanctuary Social, if you log in you'll get to experience reduced queue times, obtain a free Stamped edition of a cool card, and another set of mutators to augment you and your opponent's gameplay! We hope to see you this weekend!!! Five new cards with this month's set! As a reminder, we teased the new cards yesterday in another steam post! There are some fun ones to try and flex your creative deckbuilder muscles! We go a bit more in depth about each of the cards in the linked article if you want to learn more about them! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/844f02e6dd05152fed0caf6ec9a639c353258cf4.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/2bb5992d9633a3e54a0d41b2cd12c89ae366001a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/5fe2dc0900afcd2f9e92931d796c1e5e53b2645f.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/1daee4ac49fbbfa025e4557d2f5d155dbe042be8.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/4d663f35739e8b298dee0c4cbceca1cbe1f45d7f.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/1cf55460e063f55cc0175a8eb274ac6a1b339a5e.png All of these wondrous updates, new cards, and events, are bought to you by our amazing Patrons, as well as our most active players and backers like you!

This set leans into the whimsy of the holiday and gives players the opportunity to flex their creative deckbuilding muscles with these five new cards! If you're excited by what you see, then these cards will be available for you to try on Saturday, 7:30 EST! Right before the next Sanctuary Social begins (with a non-Coyle host to show off these new cards we're excited to announce tomorrow!). Cryptonomics {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/c0161f46f02af893ff23d9bb7ec6cc11dd08577e.png Cryptonomics boosts your resources to an unprecedented level! Ramping up has never been more efficient as you can jump straight to playing your 7+ Resource cards right away after playing this, there's virtually no downside! -- “With this invention, prosperous time beyond our comprehension are abound! We've gone to the moon, why stop ther-" Behold My Brilliant Plan {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/0ce969e9bf7c89046a9152d44069b5f7dd02a26d.png This is for the players out there when total victory isn’t enough; sometimes you have to make your opponent lose. Behold My Brilliant Plan is a Factionless card that can slot into any deck. While the damage isn’t the most exciting for the card’s cost, this rock of a card being able to replace itself is a nice little side bonus. The real icing of the cake on this card is the ability to achieve ultimate glory with this niche alternate win condition. While the condition is incredibly difficult to satisfy, even nigh-impossible to accomplish, some players may chase the dream of having a brilliant plan all come together. -- Yobo always murmured to himself, “When I find the perfectly small rock-sized boulder, the time of day is right, the sun gets in Boyo’s eyes…” Through sheer luck, Yobo would eventually learn the lesson of "Not letting perfect be the enemy of good." Puffy {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/7805e971bec4195a32abb498a75bb86ccb269ebc.png Puffy is back from retirement following a long and storied career of assisting with countless practice battles! Now, following the path of Puffy will lead you to destinations you've never seen before. Your friend Puffy will work hard to give you the perfect* card to play every single turn! (*Puffy believes in the potential contained within every single Infinity Wars card.) -- According to legends whispered across the worlds, in the deepest darkest rifts, lay a creature of the abyss that’s so abominable and-- Oh it’s just Puffy. Sure things get weird around Puffy sometimes… but that’s not Puffy's fault, right? Everyone loves Puffy. Mathilda "Mads" Fianna {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/d5a8a243e247dcc6190127b9ef4b7a4a251feb70.png Mads is our newest dual-Faction Sleeper of Avarrach and Genesis Industry character. She can help you improve your consistency by ditching the weakest card in your hand and giving you a whole two brand new cards. In addition to this, if you’ve dug through your deck long enough, Mads herself can provide you an alternate win condition by draining...We're back with another Sanctuary Social and ProfWisteria is hosting today!Mar 30, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsWe're back again with another week of Sanctuary Socials!

You can no longer Bury or Overcharge it. - Xi, Martyr of Peace now only transforms deployed enemies, sparing the command zone. - Filing Cabinet now requires two cards in hand to activate instead of one. This should not affect much of its usefulness, unless you specifically really wanted to have one card in hand, draw a card, then immediately put both of them on the bottom of your deck. - Defiant Herald can no longer target itself. - Nimble Trickery gains Exile 1 and now works on any number of abilities this turn. Also fixed Nimble Trickery redirecting to things it should not. - X/X tokens will keep their stats permanently on the following cards: Ethereal Fusion Orion, Master Architect Ancient Egg (Note: Compiled Corpses and Summoning Stone were already doing this.) - Adjusted the Lay Siege modifier for future Mutator Events. General Fixes: - Fixed some issues with Rift Run where you are sometimes unable to play or abandon a deck. - Fixed some issues with multi-queuing where you can end up in a match of an unintended game mode, or bypass deck legality checks. - Fixed ability to delete your deck while queuing. Card Fixes: - Zuza, Angelic Siren no longer returns the stolen character if it is no longer alive under your control when she dies or steals a new enemy. (However, if it left and then came back for whatever reason, it will still be returned.) Also, her text now clarifies that she can only target enemies. - Fixed Writ of Resurgence activation not being Preemptive. - Fixed Jackal Snow’s attack-boost aura affecting all allies when it should just affect Factionless ones. - Corrupting Magics no longer triggers if the affected card is out of play. Wording changed to “Target Character gains "At the end of each turn, if this Character is in play, it deals 1 damage to your Fortress and gains +1/+1."” Note that the card text previously said that it triggered at Start of turn, but this was not accurate. - Fix Tusked Behemoth, Exhumed not being able to put Ability cards into the Graveyard, and also targeting the bottom 3 cards of the Deck instead of the top 3. - Fix Kael’s Restoration only putting Character cards into the Graveyard. - Ghost Knight triggers can no longer stack in the same turn, causing it to be removed indefinitely. - Fix issue with Lucca, Ascended where she wouldn’t buff herself if there’s no one else to buff. Additionally fixed her not affecting characters which entered play while her trigger was already on the stack. - Agent Cheryl’s ascension is no longer a transformation, meaning she can now be Humbled like all the other Ascend cards. - Fixed Vasir’s Strategem not working on an empty hand (hopefully for good this time). Also ensured it updates if things happen between trigger an...Here's who to expect for the next month of Infinity War Sanctuary Socials!Mar 9, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsSanctuary Socials are back again for another week! 🎮 🎉 Every Saturday be sure to tune into our Twitch Stream where you can expect to see some fun gameplay hosted by wonderful folks within our community and team here at Lightmare Studios! 🎉 The next four hosts for March will be: March 9th: AgentCoyle March 16th: jgsnowbaorder March 23rd: gameipedia March 30th: ProfWisteria 🃏 Join us today at 4pm Saturday PST, and every Saturday after that, to get your hands on the next mystery stamped card, reduced queue times, and the ability to connect with other Rift Runners worldwide! 🚀 🌐 What are Sanctuary Socials?

Balance Changes Xi, Martyr of Peace - Trigger condition changed to match other Martyrs (“When Xi, Martyr of Peace is killed by an enemy, Transform all enemy Characters into 3/3 Flying Spirits and your Fortress heals 15 damage.”) Insane Reliquary - Cost decreased from 3 to 2 - Card reworked to: Whenever you discard or remove a card from your hand, give a random deployed character you control and the top character in your deck each +1/+1. If you discarded or removed another Insane Reliquary this way, give each of those characters +3/+3 instead. Goal: This rather toothy and wordy card is back in the shop by popular demand, being reworked and increased in power. Previously, it was too slow and unpredictable to be worth playing. The addition of stronger removal synergy may also make a fun deck or two. Stat Changes! - Agent Coyle, Superior Symbiote (7/7 -> 4/10) - Taiga, Combat Reconstructor (3/3 -> 3/6) - Orion, Master Architect (4/8 -> 4/10) - Orion, Master Engineer (4/8 -> 4/10) - Tygris, the Architect (3/7 -> 3/12) - Benionin, Mage Guild Archivist (4/8 ->4/9) - Ju-Lin, Who Rewrites History (0/4 -> 0/5) - Spirit of the Serpent (6/6 -> 6/8) - Philosophic Android (4/8 -> 4/10) - Defiant Footman (8/4 -> 8/10) - Summoner of the Deep (4/4 -> 6/6) (rework candidate as well) - Resolute Knight (8/8 -> 9/9) - Exalted Firebrand (4/6 -> 4/7) - Drone (6/6 -> 6/7) - Unmanned Aerial Destroyer (8/10 -> 10/10) - Resilient Slime (1/1 -> 2/2, the tokens are still 1/1 though) - Unified Protector (4/6 -> 6/6) - Varyus, Master of Choice (8/8 -> 10/12) - Infested Scavenger (4/4 -> 5/5) - Power-Starved Revenant (10/8 -> 14/10) - Field Engineer (4/4 -> 0/10) - Ex, the Oppressor (cost 5 -> 4) - Kraos, Champion of Ruin (cost 6 -> 5) - Tailored Knight (10/4 Shield 1 -> 7/4 Barrier 1) - Pilgrimage Monk (cost 3 -> 2) - Tech Knight (cost 3 -> 2) (6/7 -> 4/8) - Agent Cheryl, Last To Leave (8/8 -> 10/10) (Ascend: +7/+7 -> +8/+8) Insectoid buffs! - All Swarmers with 4 morale changed to 3 morale - Sentinel Swarmer (morale 8->6) - Swarmer Broodlord (8/8 -> 8/14, gain “Can be selected as any faction purity if used as a commander.”) - Caretaker of the Swarm (cost 3 -> 2, 4/4 -> 3/7) - Tranquil Swarmer (cost 5 -> 3) - Blazing Swarmer (cost 5 -> 4) - Ascending Swarmer (5/5 -> 10/10) Bugfixes - Fixed max hand size still acting like it’s 7. - Fixed hand size modifiers being reversed in polarity in the last patch. - Fixed Vasir, the Chained’s unchained form not getting updated properly. - Filing Cabinet now requires you to have a card in hand to activate. - Demon of Dark Bargain will now discount cards in your graveyard, similar to Hellmouth Labourer. - Fixed Demonic Presence failing to add cards into both players hands if neither player had cards in their hands. - Pilg...Bugfix & Balance Patch | IWC 0.88.3 Beta Patch NotesFeb 2, 2024 - Community Announcementswww.infinitywarsclassic.com {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/de00413384571bf6aa12693296acac4239c9a6de.png Preorders for the next community set are now available in the store or on our Patreon. This is a limited time offer to grab these cards in shiny platinum borders. Balance Changes Increased default maximum Hand size from 7 to 8. Rita, Unshackled Increased draw limit from 7 to 8 to accompany hand size changes Jewel of Madness Increased card draw hand count limit from 6 to 7 and changed trigger from start of turn to End of turn. Goal: Jewel of Madness hasn’t made a splash in competitive play much yet, but it was significantly overperforming in testing for its cost and purity. We want Jewel to help enable big-hand strategies but require a bit of dedication to get value from, so the threshold of cards needed was increased (This also conveniently preserves symmetry with Crystal of Madness). Additionally, it was unintended for the trigger to count the card you drew in the same turn, so the trigger was changed from start of turn to end of turn, so that you can better measure by the cards left in your hand when you end the planning phase. Thea Wolfborn Changed “is on the battlefield” to “is in play” Goal: Allowing Thea to function anywhere in play based on her ability essentially costing a resource, and the low tempo gain from the buff. We hope she'll be more exciting in Rift Run, and maybe even as a commander. The middleground of "if Deployed" is a possibility to pull it back a bit if we need to, but we're not expecting it to make excessive waves. Infernal Chef Change: 4/4 to 4/6 Goal: Infernal Chef has a decent ceiling along with a big blocker, but we want to raise the floor a bit, so it can at least survive one combat early in the game. This should help it buff its teammate to the right side, which otherwise will rarely get to experience the true joy of Consume. It's a slight shame to leave the statline of the original Chef, but I guess time has given them thicker skin. Nysrugh, the Ravenous Change: 5/5 to 7/7 Goal: The new Nysrugh is underperforming due to being weak and vulnerable for its cost. Early on, you can feed it in the Command Zone, and that's still the ideal use case for it, but there's a lot of competition for the Exiles commander lineup, including things that provide more utility or grow faster. We'd like it to start out a little more acceptable in order to help out decks which make use of its unique ability; the downside should keep it in check in a fun way, along with a lack of evasion when attacking. Vasir, the Chained Prince Change: 7 cost to 4 cost AND When killed or removed, place him 3 cards from the top instead of shuffling in. Goal: This card was really bad. You should get better payoff for your investment. Giving it some juice borrowed from Candit, the Demonic should improve its consistency as a recursive threat. Unchaining him manually from the Command Zone is still as slow as ever, but if you find a way to kill him, you'll be rew...Community Set Release! | IWC 0.88.2 Beta Patch NotesJan 13, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Notes 12/1/2024 - Version 0.88.2 - Sins Of Torment Community Set Release! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/966175214cff210a870eb5b00682fb4887ab33f7.png Major Feature This weekend we will be releasing Sins Of Torment, our next community set of five cards.

Whenever Nysrugh consumes for the third time each turn, Exhaust Nysrugh. Nimble Trickery - 1 Cost - Ability Preempt When target Deployed Character you control this turn becomes the target of another Ability, a different Deployed Character you control is chosen at random. Jewel of Madness - 2 Cost - Artifact Increase your maximum Hand size by 2. At the start of your turn, Draw an additional card if you have 6 or more cards in Hand. Insane Reliquary - 3 Cost - Unique Artifact When you discard a card, a random Character in your Deck and a random Deployed Character you control each gain +1/+1. When Insane Reliquary is discarded or Removed from the game while in Hand, shuffle a copy of Insane Reliquary into your Deck, then give a random Character in your Deck +1/+1. Balance Changes - Bemmie, Paragon of Community now has a Pay 1 requirement to use his activate ability. Bug Fixes General: - Fixed various bug regressions from 0.88.1. - Deck zone display is now correctly sorted to prevent draw order information leaking. - Fixed cards with multiple artists not displaying both artists on card face. - Fixed Community Set 1 displays text from filter dropdowns. - Added Tooltip for Recruit. - Fixed Mystic Forest battlefield appearing too bright in the profile window - Fixed Shrapnel Launcher using genesis VFXs.

Community Set, January '24 - Exiles {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/6d8ab5ce2b534f9ef40e2e94b8575733c4e096c0.png Low-cost Exiles Demon Character - Infernal Chef Infernal chef is wearing a stained chef’s uniform, with gruesome cooking utencils. The love of blood and gore drives many exiled demons to the front lines of war, but Infernal Chef saw a more creative outlet for their passion. The remains and viscera of the battlefield are hauled off to the Chef by the demons with more discerning tastes, and he prepares them a much more palletable cadaver. While Infernal Chef is deployed, the two characters adjacent to him gain Consume 2. This will put him in harm’s way to gain the use of the effect, so consider pairing him with buffing effects that can help him survive battle. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/fbd75caeec92ba50bff0a5a012f47fdd7aeb73dc.png Low-mid cost Unique Exiles Artifact - Insane Reliquary Insane Reliquary is a mimic-esque style chest with a gaping mouth, sharp teeth, many horns and several eyes sitting atop a display podeum. Referred to colloquially as the angry box, Insane Reliquary is capable of consuming and holding many objects and treasures, however there’s no guarantee that when you take something out, it’ll be the same as what you put in. Do watch the teeth as you do so, as well - he bites. Insane Reliquary has two different uses, for when it’s deployed and when it’s discarded from your hand. When it’s deployed, it’s effect triggers whenever you discard a card, giving a random character in your deck and a random deployed character a +1/+1 buff/ Discarding Insane Reliquary shuffles a copy into your deck, and gives a random character in your deck a +1/+1 buff. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/a70d7dd6353e6cd0dad15db936b61eef4eb99a1e.png Low-cost exiles artifact - Jewel of Madness.

Bemmie, Paragon of Community 4 Cost - 6 Morale - 8/8 Unique Character Activate: Target non-Unique Character you control that costs 1 gains +4/+4 and becomes Unique. Activate this only once per turn. Benionin, Mage Guild Archivist 4 Cost - 5 Morale - 4/8 Character Exhaust: Draft an ability card from four random ability cards matching your deck's purities and put it on top of your Deck. This Activation can only be used once a turn and cannot be undone. Blueleaf, The Scroll Keeper 8 Cost - 15 Morale - 15/15 Character While Blueleaf, The Scroll Keeper is deployed, Abilities in your Graveyard have recall X, where X is its cost. Doltan, The Blood Hunter 3 Cost - 4 Morale - 4/4 Character Lifelink 4, Bloodthirst 4 Soul Reaper 5 Cost - 5 Morale - 8/15 Character Soul Reaper has Deadly while in the Assault Zone.

Bug Fixes General: - Added draft tooltip to Medi, Herald of the Unknown, Agent Coyle Singularity and Aleta Immortal Traveler. - Fixed deck cards overlapping waiting for turn UI. - Fixed Type filter deck builder tooltips. - Fixed inventory faction filter failing to find cards with multiple factions - Fixed white box rendering over selected profile in inventory Cards: - Fixed Death ray hitting cards outside the battlefield. - Fixed Vigil unable to target commanders. - Fixed Eaten by zombies effect persisting after reanimation. - Fixed Liand, The Fearless incorrectly exhausting on overcharge. - Fixed Gorgon Beam 9000 creating Mechanisms when not killing its target - Fixed Agent Coyle Synergy removing unique tag from himself Promo Card Community Set & Event Gamemode RevealDec 7, 2023 - Community Announcementswww.infinitywarsclassic.com {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5622060/d2cacaaf1eabcf5e84348737e3f0ff60f2470315.png Welcome Rift Runners, we've got another community set for you, this time being the Promo card community set, made up of cards designed by the community or for the community. These cards represent more than our continued expansion and content efforts - they're a symbolic gesture to our amazing community, that you are as much a part of this game as we are (and without having to write any of the code, lucky bastards). Your last and only chance to get these cards in platinum is to pre-order in-game, or join the Patreon campaign before the end of the weekend, so consider joining if you're not already. Regardless, here's what we've got! Doltan, the Blood Hunter https://youtube.com/watch?v=46SdYMVEZng Spotlight: https://youtube.com/shorts/46SdYMVEZng A rift runner from an unknown world, Doltan fell through a rift into an unknown forest, and with no idea where he is, he does the one thing that he’s known his whole life… he hunts. The wildlife provide decent sustenance to sustain his hunger, but how will he get home? Doltan’s effects are simple, as he has Lifelink 4 and Bloodthirst 4. As a factionless character with two pretty powerful keyword abilities, Doltan’s strength is less in what he himself can do, or rather what you can bring out of him, finding synergies in unique purities to make the most of his lifelink and bloodthirst. Blueleaf, the Scroll Keeper https://youtube.com/watch?v=M0ViTyLk3q4 Spotlight: https://youtube.com/shorts/M0ViTyLk3q4 Blueleaf has had an impressive journey, from a Cultist thrall and slave, to a Genesis Industries asylum seeker and researcher, to a scroll keeper in the Library of Knowledge, they aim to study and preserve the arts, science, and magic of this world, and many others. While Blueleaf is deployed, you are able to cast abilities from your graveyard as if they had recall X, with X being their original cost. Getting to use each of your spells twice as much without worrying about recycle management and such is a really high potential ability, but with a cost of 8 and morale cost of 15, it’s not going to be easy or reliable, but the potential Blueleaf holds in the right hands, can be insane. Bemmie, Paragon of Community https://youtube.com/watch?v=ar80nleLUIY Spotlight: https://youtube.com/shorts/ar80nleLUIY From organising and running events, to supporting the little guy however they could, whether it was promotion, networking, or sign language interpretation, Bemmie was a legend behind the scenes, spreading love and positivity wherever they went. Bemmie can target a non-unique character with a cost of 1 once every turn, and it gains a +4/+4 stat boost, becoming unique. While this card has a lot of potential synergy with things like aspirants, thralls, militia or other one-cost cards, this card is an ode to a player and friend of Lightmare Studios, and despite only working with them for a year or so, they left an impact o...Weather System & Promotional Community Set Preorder | IWC 0.88 Beta Patch NotesNov 30, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Notes 1/12/2023 - Version 0.88 - Weather System & Promotional Community Set Preorders Live Weather comes back to Infinity Wars!
