The card art is by none other than the dev of Nova Drift themselves! Chimeric!

But there's more!

Also included in this update is a complete rework of the Spirit archetype!

The Spirit cards have historically been a niche and awkward deck, centered around a strange rhythm of returning cards to your hand. With the rework, they still return to your hand, but they now make use of a much more intuitive mechanic of linking together on the field. There's far too much to explain here, give the deck a try!

Also come say hi in the Discord! This decks can get tricky, but the Discord is a great place to get help!

This update has been in the works for a long long while, thank you all for playing! Please consider leaving a review if you haven't already, it really helps me continue working on this game and other games in the future.
