Eight… but two are Dwarven Miner and Fortress Gate… and Dwarven Slayer and War Sphinx aren’t great either. And Dragon Cruncher is extremely niche. So its basically Carnex, Behemoth, and Plague.

Well Dragon Cruncher should be more useful if a certain kingdom rumor is true.

Thematically, a nice change. However, I miss the old Skullblade/Reaver/Knight Coronet team now more than ever.

Yeah, that’s weird. Dragon Cruncher is only “Big”, and he is base rarity Epic also.

Wow… Dark Maiden has been completely ruined. That wasn’t a rebalance, that’s a whole new/different card/character.

How does the refund work? Do I get all my copies of Dark Maiden back and she goes back to her original rarity?

Question and a suggestion.

Question; Does it improve your chances for the higher trait stones by playing the explore at greater difficulty?

Suggestion: Once you do the refund clear the option so it doesn’t show. I did the refund for Queen Mab, but the option still shows after I re-leveled and traited her (well 2 of the traits).

Big thanks to @sirrian and the devs…

Minor grumble - I know devs are working on fixes - we didn’t get any working counters to Maw yet, and Mab got slowed down (13 gems not 10, plus the bug on her trait), so one of the best previous Maw counters (Mab speed deck) isn’t working so well… So until fixes arrive, the Mawgestion situation actually got _worse_…

Could we have added Indigestible to a few troops?
