New Card Offers
There will be exclusive packs containing new card copies and resources.
New Brawl
A new Brawl modifier is launching on January 23rd, 2025, featuring the new Enraged Cowards card.
This modifier lets you experiment with and enjoy the card before deciding whether to add it to your collection.
In this Brawl, a 0-mana, level 1 version of the new card will automatically be added to everyone’s deck, regardless of ownership or upgrades.
This means all decks will temporarily contain 13 cards, giving you an exciting opportunity to explore new strategies with Enraged Cowards.
