New Starter Decks and additional balance changes

For this patch, there are a number of tweaks for champions and some other runes as a final set of changes to cap off this round of balance updates.

Additionally, in this update there are now updated Starter Decks available from beating the Training Faction missions. Even if you have beaten these missions you can earn the new decks by beating them again. The runes granted in these decks are non-tradeable and non-sacrificible.

As always, check the poxnora website for up-to-date news about any updates.
