Test Server 4.06 Card Changes and Balance Discussion

We are nearing a final iteration of test server, and here I will present overview of card changes to current live cards and new Lost Lands cards. There are a lot of them so they will be split into several messages. If you haven't already, join us on www.shadowera.com/telegram to help out testing process and get early access to new cards. Or you can download the latest version (might need to refresh to see updated page) at http://test.shadowera.com/

Do keep in mind all of these cards and maybe even some not on the list are still prone to changes.

We will start from new Lost Lands cards. Something to know before checking them out are two new keywords:

Shroud: When this ally is targeted by an ability, that ability has no effect and it loses shroud.
Awaken: This artifact becomes an Aldmor ally with 3 base attack, 3 health and no abilities.
