Card and Location Updates

This patch doesn't include any functional changes to cards or locations. We've been taking slightly heavier swings with OTAs on that front, in an effort to lean harder on them for our balance needs.

We do have a handful of small text updates to improve some of the wording within the game.

Odin

  • [Old] 6/8 - On Reveal: Activate the On Reveal abilities of your other cards here.
  • [New] 6/8 - On Reveal: Repeat the On Reveal abilities of your other cards here.
    • The word "activate" doesn't clearly communicate Odin's exact function, and it's the only instance of the word that appears in the game. It's been intuitive enough to avoid much confusion, but is an easy enough piece to improve.

Sersi

  • [Old] 5/7 - On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into random cards that cost 1 more. (if able)
  • [New] 5/7 - On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into random cards that cost 1 more. (if possible)
    • Sersi was slightly off our default wording here for the parenthetical check on whether her ability can resolve, so we've updated her to match other cards.

The locations below were all using the word "first" to indicate "the first card played here once this location has been revealed," but given players often will play cards to blind locations we've found potential for confusion when the "second" card (or third, or fourth) at one of these locations triggers these effects. To that end, we've simply updated them all to say "next" instead.

Krakoa

  • [Old] Your first play here adds its Power to the top of your deck.
  • [New] Your next play here adds its Power to the top of your deck.

Vormir

  • [Old] The first card you play here is destroyed.
  • [New] The next card you play here is destroyed.

Aunt May's

  • [Old] The first card you play here gets +3 Power and moves.
  • [New] The next card you play here gains +3 Power and moves.
    • This location was also slightly off the default for our "Power" verbs, and we corrected it accordingly.

Black Vortex

  • [Old] The first card you play here becomes a random 6-Cost card.
  • [New] The next card you play here becomes a random 6-Cost card.

Castle Zemo

  • [Old] The first card you play here switches sides.
  • [New] The next card you play here switches sides.
