Hey everyone, Monster Island will be out on Thursday and that means a midnight-ish release tomorrow night! We wanted to inform players of what to expect when we activate Monster Island.

On Wednesday night at 9 PM PST, the game servers will be taken down for maintenance. We expect this maintenance to last about 1 hour, during which we will be awarding the new BASIC card set to all players. After maintenance is complete, the game will come back up and Monster Island will be out! Players should immediately receive their launch rewards, rank reset, and packs can then be opened! Standard mode will be activated, and Standard mode decks will be required for ranked play. Most cards within the Age of Dragons set have received some sort of change to go along with our improved archetype balance and general gameplay mechanics. There will be NO DETAILED PATCH NOTES because the changes are too extensive for a patch note list to be useful. We'd encourage players to understand the new global mechanics changes (such as knockback and blocking) and take a look at all the cards in their collection after launch. You will need to construct new decks to play Standard mode!

This is a very exciting time, Monster Island is definitely the biggest and best thing we've ever done and we hope everyone is as excited about it finally being released as we are. See you online!
