It’s been a couple of Seasons since we’ve had a Balance Change due to an update that we’re working on that will be adding a lot of new depth to the game, as well as shaking up the game balance, including the much anticipated changes to Legendary cards.

We’re now extremely close to talking around these changes, and we’re very excited to be doing so! Now that we have ironed out the details of the changes we’re in a position to start balancing cards again. A lot of the changes in this balance pass are with the future changes in mind. Some of the cards on the list are overdue for a buff, and some of them may seem an odd choice at this moment but will make a lot more sense once the full feature rolls out. On the flip side, there will be a number of cards that will require nerfs once the changes roll out, but since the changes aren’t live yet it would be unfair to bump them down now.

Also notable in this pass is that there are a number of Warlords getting stat buffs. This is agnostic of their Warlord rules, but looking at the cards independently as a unit. It’s no secret that we are looking to do a Warlord rule pass, and it’s very much front of mind currently.

Additionally there is the normal list of cards being added to the general pool as well. So without further delay here is the full list:
