We didn't change as many cards as I was hoping. We were late getting the Grand Clash preliminaries up and there hasn't been as much participation as I was hoping (Free pack every 5 hours people!) so we had less data to work with. Anyway here are this weeks changes:

Hill Giant Contractors now 3M

Rarity changes:
Leprous Shambles C -> U
Yalrinian Fiend U -> R
Barkskin Dragon U -> R
Mosslight Slor U -> C
Dust Devil C -> U
Guuthlun Tempest U -> R
Sadathian Mercenaries U -> R
Walled Outpost U -> c
Astridian Bazaar R -> O
Icy Encasement C -> U
Awaken the Stones U -> R
Sunburst U -> C
Lightning Bolt C -> U

Abrixian Sparker R -> U
Flame Ent U -> C
Arc Mage R -> U
Ord Beast R -> U
Silver Stagg R -> U
Electric Storm R -> U

Most of the rarity changes increased the rarity of cards so anyone who already owns the card should be happy. There were a few cases where we need to decrease the rarity of some cards. In these cases the owners of the cards would be sad. To compensate them we gave an estimate of how much the cards of different rarities are worth:
rare 42
uncommon 16
common 4

so if you had a card that went from Rare to uncommon we gave you 26 gold (42-16)

So no one should be too sad that they had a card that is now more common.

So what's the O stand for? I want to know what you call a blue. :P

O is for Odd. Odds take the place of a common in a pack. They are cards that we would like to have few of in circulation but that people would probably be sad if they got as their rare.

I'd like to participate in the grand clash, but "once every five hours" doesn't give me an idea as to when they actually start. I've been online quite a bit and never seen one and have no idea about how to find out when the next one is. And I haven't seen one in the tournament sidebar, so I'm a bit clueless about them. I'd assume most people are in the same boat.

that and the whole needing a deck to play sorta sets me a few steps behind the pack

Well it announces in the lobby every 30 min when the next one is. So look for that, they weren't happening the last 24 hours or so.
Also you can play with the default decks if you don't have your own yet. There are not a lot of people playing in them so usually you just have to beat one person to finish with gold.

The gold for devaluation of cards was a very conciderate move that I would not have expected to have seen. I am very happy you took the time to compensate people for the change of value if it was against there favor. I also am in agreement with a lot of the changes in card rareness and think they are positive moves, especialy lepirious shambles to uncommon and sunburst to common, i think these are particularly good moves.

What is rarity rank 5 cards?

I'm still trying to figure out why they're listed as 5 in rarity, but they're Form of Vigor and Unified Panoply.

Check the card list and filter Ultra Rare.
