Patch Notes - v1.02.00

Greetings Spellslingers!

Welcome to Innistrad! We are excited to release Helvault Unsealed, a big expansion with over 160 new cards and tokens. In addition, we've made some updates to our matchmaking system and fixed some bugs as well.

Game System Changes

Matchmaking Update

In order to better support the trophy change we made last month, we have adjusted the matchmaking system to match players within leagues more frequently. Previously, the system was aggressively jumping leagues in order to match players based on skill. While it still looks at player skill when matchmaking, it now tries harder to match players within the same league, and therefore closer trophy values. You can still gain or lose 10-50 trophies per match, and this means that player skill matters more than match volume. But it should happen less frequently than it currently does.
