MAGNUS BETA-RELEASE AND THE LEADERBOARD!

Hello, everybody! Today we have a big update for the Beta. It will include Buck's rework as well as changes to Magnus' gameplay.

Buck is a glorious warrior, but we made some mistakes and gave him the wrong gameplay vector. We listened to our community and decided to completely rework Buck. From now on, Buck's gameplay will be much more dynamic. You will feel the power of a warrior, and Haron from the "rare" assistant will become a real fierce beast who is not shy about using his abilities.

Unstoppable rage, furious pet, and tons of damage! Meet the updated Buck the Bestial Rage!

Magnus changes

Thanks to your feedback from the beta test, Magnus is becoming better and better!

• Eruption - now has a common counter in the form of a status effect over the character. Any card with Eruption mechanics reduces the counter by 1. Every fourth card played with an Eruption produces the effect specified in its description.
  
• Tough Doppelganger - Now this trait not only increases Phantom Health by 150, but also strengthens its basic attack - 25 damage instead of 18. At the same time, it can still be affected by additional strengthening effects such as Strength.
  

Stable Illusion - the main effect of this card has been preserved, but in addition to it now also increases the power of the Phantom by 2. Several of these cards will be perfectly combined with the updated talent "Tough Doppelganger".

New archetype: Might and Protection
