If you thought that yesterday’s nerf announcement was exciting, better sit down before reading this, because we have some even more amazing news to share. For the first time after the game got out of the Beta, we’ll see cards getting buffed instead of nerfed. That’s right. 2 class cards from each class will see changes to their mana or stats, making them stronger. 18 cards in total, all from Boomsday Project, since it fits into the event’s theme. And those aren’t just some completely unplayable cards, for which the change won’t matter – many of them have already seen some play in their current form, which means that they have some serious potential after buffs. You will be able to see those cards in competitive action right away during the Mech-vitational tournament, happening June 3-4.

On top of that, we’ll have a new Legendary card! And, what’s even better, players will get a Golden copy of it for free by simply logging into the game between June 3 and July 1. Even if you miss the event, a normal copy will be craftable for the regular 1,600 Dust.

Here’s how the new Legendary looks like. It will be considered a part of The Boomsday Project expansion (but it WON’T drop from Boomsday packs), and will rotate out in 2020 with all of the other Boomsday cards.

And here’s the full list of card buffs:
