We’ve just launched update 7.4 on iOS, Android and PC (GOG & Steam)!
With this update we start the Season of Mahakam with it’s seasonal mode and special, sturdy-as-a-dwarf, rule set:
Seasonal mode: Entrench
Whenever you play a unit, give it resilience.
Enjoy the rowdy, stubborn playstyle of Mahakam until December 8th, 10 a.m CET!
“But wait there's more!”
Additionally, update 7.4 introduces Journey 3 as well as Draft Early Access, a successor to, now retired, Arena.
Full list of changes can be found here:
New Journey - Alzur:

- New type of trinket - Unleash Alzur’s power in style with the help of his MagicFocus!
New Feature - Draft Mode:
- Alzur’s mastery of mutation must have exerted it’s influence, as Arena transforms into Draft Mode, now available in Early Access for all players!

- Decks are drafted in 3 card card packs, and each subsequent set of packs you will be presented with is connected to your previous choices.
- As a finishing touch you’ll choose one of three Stratagems.
- Play against other players with your drafted deck, for a maximum run of 7 matches. Unhappy with your deck? No problem! You can drop the run and redraft it at any time.
