Eternal Nerfs for 04/30/2025

This balance change is focused on the new Expedition format. While we’re largely pleased with people exploring new deck archetypes that were previously unavailable, it’s become clear there are a few outliers that we’d like to address.

Nerfs

Omniscience has brought forth a bevy of powerful Primal strategies to both Throne and Expedition, but it’s become apparent that its burst of card draw has been more meta warping than we’d prefer. We looked into several possible changes, but none of them felt like they addressed the issue as much as simply giving it a significantly higher cost. This should bring it more in line with other powerful late game relics.

While one of our goals for the new Expedition rotations was to encourage new and exciting deck-building opportunities, the high density of relic-matters cards, as well as the combination of very potent relics that had never seen play together in an Expedition before, led to a critical mass of no fewer than four relic decks across a variety of faction combinations. The nerfs to Rift Siphon and Veena's Masterpiece from “pay 1” to “pay 2” will hopefully slow these strategies down a little, giving other decks more time to breathe.

Lastly, Patrice has finally calmed down some now that the Youngbloods are no longer in immediate danger from The Hermit. We are reducing her health to make it easier to interact with her and make it riskier for her to block.

These nerfs will be accompanied by the ability to destroy previously-crafted copies for full value. People who purchased Eternal Chapters “A New Queen” or “The Power of True-Sight” will receive 650 Gold for each.

And that’s it for today! We hope you continue to have fun playing in the new Expedition format.
