Patch Out

Alioth
[Old] 6/2 On Reveal: Destroy all unrevealed enemy cards here.
[New] 6/8 On Reveal: Remove the text from all unrevealed enemy cards here.
Since release, Alioth has been an important but polarizing card in the SNAP metagame. Its been hugely effective in creating more tension on turn 6, but the in-game effect can also be really frustrating. Losing your cards completely, no questions asked, is very powerful. Were sensitive to that, so as we monitored Alioth weve also thought about other ways we could implement the card. With the turn 6 metagame fairly settled these days, it felt like the time was ripe to freshen up the purple cloud with a new effect. Our goal here is to keep a fairly similar role, but to introduce more meaningful counterplay to the effect. We expect the biggest difference will happen with stuff like Magneto now being able to defeat Alioth either way.

Zabu
[Old] 2/2 Ongoing: Your 4-Cost cards cost 1 less. (minimum 1)
[New] 2/3 On Reveal: Until the end of next turn, your 4-Cost cards cost 1 less.
Were aware that Zabu is taking a huuuge hit here, but hear us out! In the last year, the game has shifted to revolve more and more around Zabus interaction with 4-Cost cards and their matchups. Right now, Zabu is probably at an all-time low, but the impact is still very real and 4-Cost cards that dont have strong synergy with Zabu are at a disadvantage. Weve been analyzing the data to better understand exactly what this has done to the metagame and what we might want to adjust, but Zabu is really clouding those measures. So weve decided to do something unusual here and temporarily rework this card into a state that we believe is weak enough to shift the way 4-Costs perform. We dont think that White Queen is suddenly good or anythingwe expect 4-Costs as a group to get weaker, and decks that can still cheat using cards like Ravonna, Hope, Wave, etc. to be stronger as well as 4-Costs that naturally have big stats, like Cull Obsidian. We may account for that a little with subsequent OTAs, but were also expecting to make a larger set of impactful changes later this year. So this change is really to help us vet that work, and we also dont expect Zabu to remain in this state permanently.

Sandman
[Old] 5/4 Ongoing: Players can only play 1 card a turn.
[New] 5/7 On Reveal: Players can only play 1 card next turn.
Like Mobius, Luke Cage, and Professor X, Sandman is the kind of tech card we want to be careful with. If Sandman is too popular, SNAP is just a less fun game due to the permanence of that Ongoing effect, so we deliberately aimed Sandman to be more niche. However, the low Power necessary for that balance has made it so that Sandmans often too weak to consider playing, even in metagames where the effect would be strong. Were trying a different tact here and switching to a temporary effect that can pack more Power because it doesnt warp the game as much, playing more like a turn 5 tech card than a turn 4 buildaround.

Lady Deathstrike
[Old] 5/4 On Reveal: Destroy each card here with less Power than this.
[New] 5/7 On Reveal: Destroy each card here with 3 or less Power.
This change looks fairly similar to Sandman, but its different in some nuanced ways. Lady Deathstrike was built around scaling with Power to provide an appealing goal for players, but that just hasnt worked out. When Deathstrike is good, its often just because the base effect is usefuland those times are few and far between. Most of the time the card is simply weak, and investing in buffing it is a trap. Weve decided to trade in the dream here with the goal of creating a more consistently useful card that players have to fear more meaningfully, and not exclusively in decks trying to do some gimmicks with her.

Strong Guy
[Old] 3/3 Ongoing: If your hand is empty, +6 Power.
[New] 3/3 Ongoing: +6 Power if your hand has one or fewer cards.
Were loosening the restriction on Strong Guys Power buff. The last numbers change we made was something of an experiment to see if we thought we could get Strong Guy somewhere, but ultimately combining poorly with both Apocalypse and your normal draw each turn has proven too heavy. Lets see how it goes!

Shadow King (text update)
[Old] 2/2 On Reveal: Set all cards here to their original base Power.
[New] 2/2 On Reveal: Set all cards here to their base Power.
Just a small update to remove the redundant original from this card.

Pixie (text update)
[Old] 2/1 On Reveal: Shuffle the Costs of all cards in your deck that started there.
[New] 2/1 On Reveal: Shuffle the base Costs of all cards in your deck that started there.
This change makes it more clear which Costs are being shuffled.

OTA Update

Thanos
[Old] 6/10 - At the start of the game, shuffle the six Infinity Stones into your deck.
[New] 6/10 - Starts in your opening hand and shuffles the six Infinity Stones into your deck.
Given the consistent and dominant performance of Thanos, additional changes were inevitable. This is the first stage of a larger range of adjustments we're going to make to the Thanos and Infinity Stones package. Our goal is to focus more heavily on the Mad Titan, with the expectation that narrowing the overall flexibility of Thanos decks will reduce how often these decks take heavy advantage of powerful new cards aimed at other strategies. This may be a more damaging change than you expect to the current builds, as Thanos has almost always claimed the highest winrate in the game when not drawn.

Time Stone
[Old] 1/1 - On Reveal: Draw a card and give it -1 Cost.
[New] 1/1 - On Reveal: Give Thanos -1 Cost next turn. Draw a card.
We are pursuing changes to more than one of the Stones, but because we're not ready to execute on those just yet we're taking an even heavier hand with the Time Stone for now. Our last change also did very little to the actual winrate of the card, and we'd rather not miss again. It's possible we'll return some strength in the future as other Stones change, though we intend to keep the focus on Thanos as discussed above.

Miek
[Old] 1/1 - When you discard a card, this gains +1 Power and can move next turn.
[Change] 1/1 -> 1/0
We adjusted Apocalypse slightly in the last patch to tone down Discard decks a little, and it had the desired effect on Apocalypse. However, Miek has since surged out in front on the back of a previous adjustment, and has by far the best winrate in these decks now. That's especially concerning for a 1-Cost card, because we measure winrate when drawn and turn 1 is the least common turn on which to draw a card (ignoring Limbo). This kind of performance in spite of theoretically being much less effective to draw on turns 4, 5, and 6 is a strong indicator we should remove some Power or increase the Cost, and we prefer the former.

Crossbones
[Old] 4/8 - You can only play this at locations where you are winning
[Change] 4/8 -> 4/10
There's been a lot of debate around which downside is stronger or weaker between Crossbones and Cull Obsidianwe've decided to let you all settle it in the streets. Either way this is probably Cull's game to lose, just because there are multiple good decks where Cull already shines, but it'll be fun finding out. Plus, we'd like to add a little bit more support for Skaar.

Sabretooth
[Old] 3/4 - When this is destroyed, return it to your hand. It costs 0.
[Change] 3/4 -> 3/5
Many are saying "3/5 is the new 3/4," and they may be onto something. We've been fairly happy with how many of these 3/5s are working out, and we expect to make more changes over time to balance out the range of Power among our lower-Cost cards as the game grows deeper. Sabretooth is fairly analogous to Black Swan as a "vanilla" card with no effect unless you lean into it during deckbuilding, but Destroy-based decks are also very competitive when it comes to exactly which 12 cards make the cut.

Angela
[Old] 2/2 - After you play a card here, +1 Power.
[New] 2/0 - After you play a card here, +2 Power.
Angela's back! The metagame has shifted to create more space for the "small ball" decks that leaned heavily on Angela to scale for late Power, so we're adjusting in kind. Will this be enough to return decks like Silky Smoove to the metagame, or do they need more help? Time will tell.

Baxter Building
[Old] Whoever is winning this location gets +3 Power at the others.
[Change] +3 -> +4
