- Update #3 - Week 1! - 13 December 2025
Hey everyone!A new build has just been pushed to the live branch! The Default Deck has received some changes to bring it more in line with the other decks.We’ve mostly kept the spell stats and abilities the same, but the Default Deck now starts with a brand new Mythic item: Oakheart Talisman.
