Card and Gameplay Changes

Planeswalkers

Domri

• Warboar now cost 0.

We were wary of the play patterns that shifting from an activated ability for Domri's special to adding cards to hand might bring with it, but want to maintain Domri as another Planeswalker that has strength against the most aggressive decks and free War Boars help with that. We're looking forward to seeing all the fun ways you can come up with to use free boars.

Chandra

• Flame Shot 4 Damage → 3 Damage

Flame Shot has been the bane of many attempts to stabilize against an aggressive Chandra and among the strongest cards in the game (if not the strongest). Chandra has already received an indirect buff in a way with the recent health reduction of Planeswalkers, and we want to bring the damage output of Chandra's kit down a bit. You'll still feel the sting of losing your 1 health creatures, but now you won't have to fear losing your freshly summoned 4/4 as well.

Angrath

• Angrath's Deathraider  4/2 → 4/1

Angrath has similarly been a high performing Planeswalker and the aggressive Angrath decks could use a bit of a nerf. This change leans into allowing more incidental damage and 1-power creatures to trade with Angrath's Deathraider. We like it when Angrath hits hard. We also like when he falls on his face on occasion like a silly bull, so increasing the fragility of his creatures helps hit on those targets.

Cards

Arcanis

• Each Mystical Arcana mana cost 4 → 5
• Add 1 random arcana to your hand the other two to deck. No longer summons Mystic Tome
• 6/6 → 5/5

Arcanis serves as blue's ultimate win condition that gives a level of inevitability to winning a game that goes long that other cards have a hard time matching. We want Arcanis to be a little more expedient at finishing games and want to pull back on the incidental value that was being given with stats and card draw from Mystic Tome, and that's what these changes are hoping to accomplish.

Gladecover Warden

• Loses Ward

Gladecover Warden is a card that offered very little effective counterplay. We still want it to serve as protection for your creatures to help make sure they're able to attack before getting removed, but we weren't happy with the inability to target the Warden itself to prevent meaningful interaction at all points. Our only regret is that our creature with "ward" in the name no longer has ward. C'est la vie.

Sparring Automaton 

• 3/2 → 2/3

Sparring Automaton now has less of a glass jaw. It should be a bit better at blocking 1 mana creatures and living to tell the tale.
