Card Adjustments - Nerfs

A large number of neutrals to adjust here. Neutrals have been ubiquitous in top lists due to their flexibility and often best in slot nature over some of the class cards. We hit a lot of the known offenders, but one notable card missing here is Soul Shifter. Soul Shifter is strong, but is also necessary, so adjusting it needs to be done carefully. Shout outs to Astral Champ getting hit again, cantrips on a good body are strong. Mind Melter

  • Warcry now requires Line of Sight

Summoner’s Aide

  • Health from 4 to 3

  • Effect now damages Aide by 1

Phalanx Leader

  • Cost from 3 to 5

  • Attack from 3 to 4

Dancer

  • Cost from 2 to 3

  • Health from 3 to 4

Astral Champion

  • Health from 6 to 5

Card Adjustments - Buffs

Two of these are experimental, two of these are just stat buffs to under performing cards. There will be more tweaks in this area, card reworks and such, but these felt like a good set to try out. Novice Knight

  • Vengeful Veteran now deals double damage to the unit that killed the Knight

Blight Lasher

  • Movement set to 1 up from Can’t Move

  • Health from 8 to 6

Queensguard

  • Base attack from 3 to 4

Osprey Soldier
