We’ve been deep in the data mines, watching replays, and listening to your feedback. It was time to tune the engine. We noticed some strategies were a little too dominant, while some cards weren't getting the love they deserved. This patch addresses cost efficiencies, adjusts health & power, and refines key mechanics to make every turn feel meaningful.
