Balance Changes
BUFFS (6):
Raikka Spellseeker - Ability changed to "3SE: Until the start of your next turn, all damage to friendly allies is reduced by 1 and all damage from friendly allies to opposing heroes and allies is increased by 1." (from "3SE: Until the start of your next turn, all damage from friendly allies is increased by 1 and all damage to friendly allies is reduced by 1.").
Ellos' Resolve - Ability changed to "Attach to target friendly ally. That ally has +1 attack and +1 health, and combat damage to that ally is reduced by 2." (from "Attach to target friendly Warrior or Ravager ally. That ally has +1 attack and +1 health, and combat damage to that ally is reduced by 1.").
Mettle of the Yari - Renamed to Mettle of the Warrior. Ability changed to "Attach to your hero. When you summon a Warrior card, your hero and Warrior allies you control heal 1 damage." (from "Attach to your hero. When you summon a Warrior card, your hero and Yari allies you control heal 1 damage.").
Xander, Yari Captain - Attack increased to 4 (from 3). Health increased to 6 (from 5). Ability changed to "Other friendly Yari allies have +1 attack and +1 health." (from "Friendly Yari allies have +1 attack and +1 health.").
Drangisicon, Lord of the Hunt - Attack increased to 4 (from 3). Health increased to 8 (from 7). Ability changed to "Ambush. Other friendly Hunter allies have +1 attack, +1 health and ambush." (from "Friendly Hunter allies have +1 attack, +1 health and ambush.").
Pithing Spear - Ability changed to "When your hero kills an opposing ally in combat, your hero gains +1 shadow energy. While you control a Shadow ally or Warrior ally, Pithing Spear has +1 attack." (from "When your hero kills an opposing ally in combat, your hero gains +1 shadow energy. While you control a Shadow ally, Pithing Spear has +1 attack.").
REJIGS (5):
Cinderborn Fatebreaker - Ability changed to "When an opposing player summons a targeted ability with cost 3 or less, that ability has no effect and Cinderborn Fatebreaker is killed." (from "When an opposing player summons an ability with cost 3 or less, that ability has no effect and Cinderborn Fatebreaker is killed.").
– If the ability mentions "target" in the text, then it is a targeted ability (e.g. Fireball, Crippling Blow). If there is no mention of "target" then it is an untargeted ability (e.g. Bad Santa, Blood Frenzy). Similarly, within the game, all summoned targeted abilities will involve you choosing at least one target before successfully summoning them - either by dragging to it or selecting one and hitting TARGET button.
Sindarok Apprentice - Ability changed to "When an opposing ally enters combat with Sindarok Apprentice, that opposing ally takes 1 arcane damage (or 2 arcane damage if you control at least 2 Templar allies)." (from "When an opposing ally enters combat with Sindarok Apprentice while every ally you control is a Templar ally, that opposing ally takes 2 arcane damage.").
Stardust Extractor - Cost decreased to 3cc (from 4cc). Attack reduced to 2 (from 3). Ability changed to "Steadfast. When Stardust Extractor is summoned, its health is reduced by 1 and you draw a card. 0SE: Stardust Extractor's health is reduced by 1 and you draw a card." (from "Steadfast. 0SE: Draw a card. Stardust Extractor's health and base attack are reduced by 1.").
Howlfang's Breastplate - Renamed to Packmaster's Helm and removed class restriction.
Robes of Mending - Ability changed to "At the end of each of your turns, your hero heals 1 damage. 1SE: Robes of Mending gains +2 durability to a maximum of 5 durability.." (from "At the end of each of your turns, your hero heals 1 damage. 2SE: Target hero or ally heals 4 damage and Robes of Mending loses 1 durability.").
NERFS (3):
Scriptures of the Righteous - Cost increased to 2cc (from 1cc).
Obelisk of Echoes - Added Sustain 1cc.
