by EverAdmin4The Iron Hands rise again, amped by their newest Warlord! It has been a while since the Iron Hands received some attention in a balance update, so it was about time the scions of Medusa were enhanced a bit. For the most part, these changes aim to make their mid-game plays more impactful, forging a path towards their big endgame. These changes are not yet live, but will become available as soon as possible.
The fight for Beta-Garmon continues, and the imperial forces are starting to feel the strain of the fight. After an explosive month in High Terra, the White Scars are being toned down a bit with changes aimed at a particularly uninteractive decklist, which often provoked frustrating and unfun games. Other factions are also seeing small nerfs, targeted at some of the Warlords who have consistently reached the top of the ranks during the last months. Take a look at the full list of changes below:
