Tidehunter’s Gush no longer has Quickcast.
Rubick’s Spell Steal copies are no longer ephemeral.
Anti-Mage’s Blink Strike changed to an attack for 1 battle damage.
Arc Warden’s clone keeps the visual change when bounced.

Whenever an ally other than a Rumusque Choir is healed, give Rumusque Choir +1 Attack and +1 Health permanently.

Card Text

Reworded Pierpont's Inspect for clarity.
Temple of War now explicitly says it only gives basic items of types that aren't already equipped.

Matchmaking

The constructed queue now lets you use any cards, not just ones you’ve unlocked.
The constructed queue no longer matches you against another person at the same unlock tier.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that on rare occasions could cause the game to stall when their shot clock expired during deployment.
Bloodseeker’s Thirst doesn’t get bypassed by Rapid Deployment.
Abaddon’s Mist Coil no longer causes a surviving caster to die if it later gets healed.
Veteran’s Insight requires a unit to survive battle to gain insight (i.e. +1 Health).
Fixed a bug where card unlock percentage was miscalculated which also led to being able to open empty packs.
Menu and draft music now correctly transitions out when a match starts.
