What's New

Several new cards have been added to the game. Here's an overview of what's new:

Vilari Groomer
Life Essence Affinity
4 Cost
Follower - Vilari
Party - Give another friendly Follower +2/+2
3/3

• Vilari Groomer gives a permanent bonus to your other Followers
• Bonus remains even if the Groomer is killed
• Very powerful with big cards like Enormous Protector

Bloom
Life Essence Affinity
2 Cost
Ability
Destroy a Permanent Ability or Equipment

• Bloom can remove pesky cards that remain on the battlefield for a long time, like Gift of Life or Weapon cards
• Can also remove Traps

Looming Screech
Life Essence Affinity
3 Cost
Permanent Ability - Trap
Trap - When your hero is attacked, remove it from combat and Rest all opposing units

• Looming Screech is one of two Trap cards in the Life Essence affinity cards
• A trap appears visible for you, but hidden from the opponent

Fated Opponents
Life Essence Affinity
3 Cost
Permanent Ability - Trap
Trap - When your opponent plays a Follower, summon a Lion Cub with [ATK] and [HEALTH] equal to that Follower's cost

• Fated Opponents triggers the moment a Follower enters the field
• The Lion Cub gets buffed with enough attack/health to match the Follower's cost

King of Beasts has been changed:

King of Beasts
Life Essence Affinity
4 Cost
Follower - Beast
Your other Beasts have +1/+1
(2): Summon a 1/1 Lion Cub
2/4

• King of Beasts' passive ability works with its Lion Cubs
• You can stack Lion Cubs as long as you have mana and your Field Zone isn't full
• Lion Cubs will typically come out as at least 2/2's due to King of Beasts' passive ability

Gift of Life has been changed:

Gift of Life
Life Essence Affinity
2 Cost
Permanent Ability
Unique
When a Follower joins you, heal 1 damage from yourself

• Gift of Life was too powerful, healing the player for far too much damage while playing cheap cards
• Since Token decks are expected to be a thing, the card really needed a nerf
• Since it would cost too much for its effect if we kept it at a cost of 3 to heal only 1 damage, it had its cost lowered slightly

Known Issues

• Vilari Groomer is incorrectly set as a Beast in this build
• It is currently possible to target enemy Followers with Vilari Groomer
• Fated Opponents will summon a 1/1 Lion Cub if you play a Party card that requires a prompt, then it will grow to its proper size after all events are done
• Lion Cubs aren't properly displaying when summoned from Lion King
