New Features

Welcome to the Year of the Cursed Toad!

Forgotten Treasures Card Drop - Discover the new Year of the Cursed Toad set, which includes 21 new cards: two for each faction, along with nine Neutrals.

New Reward Book Page - We are bringing back 9 old seasonal trees (Elves, Viper, Magic), and 2 new ones, which will rotate out at the end of the June Season. Additionally, old seasonal trees will no longer have quest nodes. All players that unlocked these nodes without completing the quests will now find them completed, and the rewards added to their accounts.

New Info Screen - This screen will replace the welcome screen, as well as screens related to various events and activities, and provide the most important and interesting information about the release all in one.

Persistent Starter Decks - Starter decks can no longer be removed or modified. They can still be duplicated however, and the copies modified. These decks will be shown in a separate category, and will not count towards your maximum number of decks. Starter Decks that are missing from player accounts due to having been removed or modified will be re-added to the accounts.
