Friday Update – Epic Incantation

Welcome to a round up of the week. Merry Melee Epic Spell Warz returns and more:

HEX Mondays

Everyone in the office has really been enjoying our games against the community so far! If you haven’t stopped by already, be sure to log in between 4pm and 9pm Pacific on Mondays to match wits and decks against some members of the team.

Our good friend Snake also streams around that time, so drop by his channel and hang with the community! He’ll also have a few Draft Codes to give away, so anyone can get in on the action. Check him out, and let’s all have some fun HEXing together.

Merry Melee Rotation

EPIC SPELL WARZ returns this Friday! As you may recall, this mode starts both players as Frenzied Zakiir:

But that’s not all! You also get a smattering of thresholds and… an empty deck.

So, game over, right? Well, not quite. Frenzied Zakiir has an ability that makes it so that you don’t draw cards. Instead, if you would draw a card, you get two random actions put into your hand. Also, at the start of your turn, you get a charge and an extra resource point. Your charges can go towards building up a Skarn army while you leverage all of the free actions you’re getting to beat up on your opponent. It’s a wild time!
