- Dwarves and Dinosaurs! - 27 July 2017
Cards and Castles is moving to a new release model with smaller, more frequent content updates. Dwarves and Dinos is the first of these updates, but being an intersection with the old and new release methods contains some slight differences of its own. Because we will be releasing smaller card drops every few months, NEW CARD DROPS WILL NO LONGER HAVE THEIR OWN UNIQUE PACK. This is true for Dwarves and Dinosaurs as well unless you got the special preorder. It's not possible to create a good pack without a massive pool of cards, so new card releases will just be added to the global pool of available cards from now on. Yes, this means you can find new release cards in free packs, quest packs, and CP packs. Recent tech was introduced that makes it less likely to pull cards you already own, so if you already have all cards and are looking forward to the new ones only, odds are you will be a…

- Archanon War Preview - 12 February 2017
We are excited to release a preview of the cards being released this thursday! Click here to see some of the cards: http://imgur.com/a/hhHXF DRAG is a new ability that pulls a target forward after attacking - the opposite of knockback. COMBO is an ability that activates after attacking. DRAMATIC ENTRANCE means the minion is played to the center of the map. We also have PATCH NOTES for upcoming balance and mechanics improvements: GENERAL The global moratorium on direct castle damage has been lifted! We feel this restriction is no longer necessary and can make for clearer, more interesting damage cards based on this distinction. Several cards have been rebalanced around this change, and all random target mechanics now have a chance to hit the castle. CHAOTIC STORM - Cost increased to 2. INFERNAL FURNACE - No longer deals damage every turn. Cost reduced to 2. ICEWEAVING - Damage increased…

- October Patch Incoming, Plus Decks Rotation - 23 September 2016
Hey everyone, we've got a couple of exciting things coming up! First off, we are going to be doing a soft rank reset on October 1st, starting a new ranking season!

- Pegacorn Event - 10 September 2016
Some of you may have received a push notification about a Pegacorn event starting. It appears that our notification timer and the event timer are just a little out of sync due to time zones, so the notification sent some hours too early. No big deal! We'll fix the notification timer, and the Pegacorn event should be started by tomorrow! There will be a popup in the game when the event goes live for real, and there will be a message in the store as well. We're all looking forward to it!
