With fire and vengeance in their hearts, last month’s meta was marked by two clear winning factions from the last expansion. The Blackshields and, in a lesser measure, the Word Bearers, have swathed a bloody path in the ranked ladder. This is not a desirable state for the game’s meta, so this month we are focusing the changes on reining down the most oppressive cards from the new factions.
Following on last month’s changes to these factions, today’s update contains a short list of changes aimed at curtailing some of the most pressing cards from the Word Bearers and Blackshields. Check out all the changes below.
