FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How can I get the new cards?
A: They are added to the Rekindled Rebirth booster packs.

Q: The PC/Mac launcher isn't working for me.
A: Please see here: https://www.shadowera.com/content.php?147-Play&tabid=78

[Kohen Gadol]

I would like to see shroud removed from Baptism of Fire. I still have issue with the general mechanic of the card; this is the first time that we have a targeted buff that is not an attachment. I am not a fan of that choice. However, if that’s going to be a consistent mechanic going forward, I’d like to see shroud removed from this card. The combo for big dragons of being immune to 5CC abilities AND getting shroud is too much.

Also, I don’t see an actual change to Serenity Now.

I appreciate Emi…

Looks like Gondorian accidentally has the old ability listed twice there. New version costs 2 and has the ability "Duration 2. All ability damage is reduced by the number of allies you control. 1: Your hero heals damage equal to the number of allies you control and Serenity Now is exiled."

[ZillaFob]

What is the reasoning behind the adjustment to Gyre and Gimble, specifically the change from drawing 2 cards to drawing a single card when the weapon is destroyed due to summoning another weapon?

It was a nerf. The weapon was too strong.
