v2.90

**Shadow Era** · 04-06-2015, 01:54 AM

We're pleased to announce the pending rollout of v2.90! This is a big release, including a lot of bug fixes and new features, and should be the last stop before we move on to v3.0.

A few highlights of this release:

Dynamic Resources - Instead of a huge resource pack to download at the start of the game, card graphics are loaded on an as-needed basis, and cached for next time. You may notice a small delay the first time you see a new card.

April Foils! - Thanks to the new dynamic resource system, we are free to add new cards without everybody having to download them if they might never see them in the game. We went ahead and foiled every card that previously wasn't available in a foil version, and added these special collector's items to the Premium Foil packs.

Improved Deckbuilder - The new card sorting and filters should make your deck building go much smoother.
