‍8 Immortals and Daily Rewards Update

Hey peeps. We’ve been listening to all the feedback on the 8 Immortals and their prevalence in matches, and are aware that many of you feel you’re either facing them too often, or are ‘forced’ to play them, or a bit of both.

We already disabled the 8 Immortals in Bot decks, which went some way to reducing their frequency in games.

We are currently working on a series of releases that will bring select older Basic collections up to a competitive level, but this requires time for us to fine tune.

In the interim, and as a stop-gap, we are reducing the strength of two of the 8 Immortals as of 13:00 UTC today, to encourage more deck variety and experimentation.

We believe this is the right move for the vast majority of our players (and a great many have asked for it already), but we also recognise that some will be disappointed. So, in a move that’s blatantly crafted to quell an uprising, we are also giving the Daily Rewards a much-deserved upgrade as of tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience, and a very Happy Easter Monday/Ordinary Monday* to you all.
