:card_file_box: Card Change Notes
All card changes are grouped to reflect the type of change being applied. To view any altered card texts, please download one of the Physical Playtesting PDF's above.
Note: Card changes which have been implemented online in this update are marked with :white_check_mark:, whilst changes which will be implemented in future updates are marked with :no_entry_sign:.
:arrow_double_up: Updated
:no_entry_sign: The Laughing Storm v1.3 Tweaked through only preventing random discard, but extending to all phases. This is primarily a consideration of card space, as there is quite a lot of text on multiple lines, but does leave a some vulnerability in the form of targeted discard effects.
:white_check_mark: Martial Law v2.2 Buffed through now costing 0 gold, as this card does not compare well against existing anti-location attachments at 1 gold which do not have a "way out" like this one does.
:white_check_mark: Robert's Rebellion v1.2 Tweaked through reverting to it's old card text, and buffing the stats from that old version. This should more closely compared to something like Vanquish, rather than Clash of Kings.
:white_check_mark: Tywin Lannister v1.3 Buffed through adding a [military] icon, adding intimidate, and reducing STR to 5. This update is quite experimental, and is hoping to present this card as a valid option over the other 7g Tywin. As we want to ensure this remains balanced, if there is not enough testing on this version, we will be reverting this change before release.
:white_check_mark: Desperate Deserter v1.3 Slight buff to make this 1 cost for minor benefits of marshaling naturally in niche scenarios.
:white_check_mark: Roose Bolton v1.4 Buffed through lowering his Cost, STR and shadows cost by 1.
:white_check_mark: The Hour of the Wolf v2.3 Tweaked through raising the Gold back to 5, Reserve back to 4, and lowering the Initiative to 6. This is essentially being reverted to its original stat-line, but with initiative & reserve lower than Marched to the Wall.
:white_check_mark: Margaery Tyrell v1.4 Tweaked through removing insight, and adding renown. This is a minor adjustment to help address the unusually high number of "insight" characters in this cycle.
