New Playable Wizard

Hello spellcasters!

I'm super excited to announce a new major update!

v1.74.4 brings multiple major features that have been in the works for a long time.

Full changelog below:

Features

Major Feature: The Warden — New playable wizard type with unique mechanics: spells randomize each round within their category, with a rune to lock spell slots New Spell Set: Burn Spells (Burn, Fireball, Flammable, Flamethrower, Stoke (1 & 2), Wildfire (1 & 2), Meteor 2)

Note: Burn status effect is impacted by liquid in obvious ways Fireball — Supports arrow modifiers like Pierce and Bounce

Major Feature: Sandbox Mode — New sandbox game mode that gives players access to admin commands Major Feature: Custom Game Mode — New difficulty system with customizable rules Liquid pools apply status effects as follows:

Water: 20 damage, no effect Lava: 30 damage, burn effect Blood: 40 damage, blood curse Ghost: 50 damage, suffocate

New Mod: Mana Evolution - an awesome new spellpack by Bug Jones!

Balance

Fully Reworked multiplayer difficulty scaling

Previously, every additional player increased enemy health linearly, making enemies extremely tanky in 3-4 player games. Now, enemy health scaling is capped at 2 players (2x health). Extra players beyond 2 instead increase the spawn budget and enemy variety by simulating higher levels — so 3-player games spawn enemies as if one level ahead, and 4-player games as if two levels ahead.

Enfeeble now stacks cumulatively Summon card sell price now scales relative to the summoned unit's value Add Cut spell for Spellmasons so Spellmasons always starts with at least a generic damage spell to support rounds where they choose a more specialized damage spell as their third pick

Bug Fixes

Fixed Deathmason preventing completion of the tutorial in singleplayer Fixed Deathmason drawing disabled cards (from Sell mod) Fixed Last Will stacking multiple times Fixed mana bar not syncing after changing wizard type in hotseat multiplayer Fixed floating text moving faster on high refresh rate monitors Fixed Icy Veins now synergizes with Shatter

Quality of Life

Modded maps are now announced Admin set commands (like "set mana") now use text prompts so they work in steam

One more thing... We've been hard at work developing a new game: "Some of You May Die", a hero autobattler with wild synergies, a singleplayer campaign and pvp multiplayer! The demo is available now, check it out on Steam:
