Castle Wars Patch Notes 2024 - 04 - 08

-
Engineer's tools - Item
-
Thalgar, the Dwarf Engineer - Soldier
-
Thieving Engineers - Soldier
-
Aethersmith Engineer Eldrinor - Soldier
-
Arabella, the Magical Engineer - Mage
-
Scholar's Mate - Trickster
The following cards have have changed.
Belastian Engineer was a frustrating card, it offered so much acceleration for Belaste that it could easily out tempo many decks. We intend for Castle Wars to be a slightly slower game and therefore we changed this ability. This new ability also better fits with the "Engineer" playstyle.
Belastian Engineer - On Play Changed to: Destroy an ally item to search an "Engineer's Tools"
​
Belastian Engineer Power changed 10 -> 5
​
Titan's Tradeoff went against much of the design philosophy of Castle Wars. We figured its enourmous cost my offset its extreme ability but frankly, its too much of a blanket "Stop your opponent from playing" for our liking. We nerfed its ability heavily while still retaining its general theming. It also offer's options against item based decks, which was severely lacking, especially with Engineer's here in this set.
​
Titan's Tradeoff - Now triggers when an enemy plays an item. Destroy an ally item to cancel all of an enemy item's abilities (including on destroy abilities).
