CARD UPDATES

The Leader has FINALLY been nerfed!People can rejoice and play the sixth turn a bit more relaxed, with more options to plan against him (if anyone still commits to playing him).

Leader:[6/7]On Reveal: Copy all cards your opponent played to the location to the right, but on your side.

Dev Note:Leader is a prominent “finisher” in the current Snap meta, and we’re not happy with some of the card choices and play patterns he encourages, especially his strength against other cool 6-cost cards. We’re changing Leader to only copy cards played at the location to his right, with more base Power to compensate. We hope that this change will reward clever predictions and reduce the frustration of playing against him.

Wolverine:[2/2] When this is discarded or destroyed, regenerate it at a random location with +2 Power.

Dev Note:Wolverine sees virtually no play at the moment, which is a bummer given how iconic he is. We’re giving him a substantial buff to reward players for activating his effect and create new deckbuilding options at both low and high collection levels.

Welcome Wolverine, toDeathWaveand DeadPool decks!

Note:We have updated his text from “play” to “regenerate” to better reflect his gameplay functionality. This is purely a flavor and clarity choice.

Text-Only Updates:

–In addition to Wolverine, a few cards use the word “play” in their text but don’t actually play anything. This small update aims to avoid players misinterpreting how these cards interact with triggers that specify playing a card:

Sentry:Using more consistent language for similar effects.
