Not the most dramatic of updates this time around but we thought it was worth keeping you in the loop. .87 is mostly concerned with tweaks to existing Scrolls. Some server-side features also getting tested but, unless you live inside the code like Mans, you probably won’t notice.

As mentioned in my last post, Scrolls is rapidly approaching open beta (when you’ll be able to buy it at at discounted price and get future updates for free) but it’s not quite there yet. Watch this space for more info.

Blast Strike’s (Energy) art has been updated. You can see it at the top of this post

Vaettr of the Wild (Growth) now costs 1

Cannon Automaton (Energy) is now 5/2/4 and reduces all combat damage dealt to it by 1

Metal Heart’s (Energy) description has been updated to better match what it does (thanks Arithmos!)

End of Reason (Energy) has been changed. New: Cost 5. Sacrifice all units you control with a non-zero Countdown. Each unit sacrificed this way deals 2 damage to opponent units on the same row
