Happy Valentine’s Day! Here are the Release Notes for the 1.10.1 patch!
New feature: Battle Log!
We’re introducing a brand new feature to the game: the Battle Log.
Accessible both from the Pause menu and as a button after a fight, you’ll be easily able to review the fight, turn by turn.
Every action, trigger and event is visible in the Battle Log, such as:
Turn numbers
Card(s) drawn
Cards cast
Abilities triggered on cards
Mana gain
Combat damage
Planeswalker ability usage
Extra Swap gains
Etc.
Card names are also fully clickable while in the Battle Log, so if you’re unsure as to what exactly was triggered/drawn/cast, you can always click on the card name to see the card in full view.
Special Offers
In celebration of Valentine’s Day, we’ve also added a new Red Card Set option in the Vault!

Any chance some of the card balance changes could be previewed here so the dev team can get feedback on the changes before being actually implemented? This will avoid potential outcry and backtracking…
Y’know, GoblinPile would be happy to be a “focus group” if you want to get some opinions from a small subset of the community before pushing things live. Heck, we even have a few crazy moggs willing to beta test for free!
Sharing card changes would be greatly appreciated by the community, especially as they impact cards which people are currently buying packs to chase (e.g., Gonti’s heart).
No offense, but I’m not sure that you guys are a representative subgroup of the players. You are probably even on the opposite side of the balance equation from most players…
Unfortunately I don’t actually have any information available regarding the card balances, hence why I included the small disclaimer in parenthesis. Sorry
If I receive any updates though, I will be sure to add them to the pre-release notes.
That’s fair, but please remember we’ve also consistently argued against overpowered cards, advocated for many changes to better the state of the game that might not benefit us directly, and expressed support for the difficulties faced by players at lower collection and tier levels.
With logs now being implemented that can be accessed post game, is it a big jump to request game continues for when the games crash mid-game or if the app auto closes itself if you minimise it mid-game?
Another very minor issue I noticed, when I used Jace 1’s 3rd planeswalker ability, it did not show up in the battle log. The AI triggering the trapped gems from this ability did not show up either.
When the opponent plays as Arlinn Kord, uses her abilities, and Arlinn Kord transforms, her picture in the battle log and the abilities are displayed as transformed. E.g., in turn 6 the opponent used Strength of the Wolf ability, later in turn 20 used Touch of the Moon (Arlinn transforms), but in the battle log they are displayed as Moon’s Embrace and Lycantrophic Frenzy (i.e. abilities of transformed Arlinn).
The order of some entries in the battle log is not as one would expect - the result of a triggered ability is displayed before the ability itself.
[spoiler]At the beginning of the turn Clue triggered card draw, landfall triggered Retreat to Coralhelm card draw.
