New Game Mechanic - Intensify

New Mechanic - Intensify!

Hey Duelyst fans! We have a brand new mechanic coming out with the next expansion: Intensify.

Intensify is a keyword that will appear on Minions and Spells granting them a powerful stacking effect. These cards become more powerful each time you cast them for the duration of the game. This stacking effect only occurs for the digits printed on the card's descriptions, not numbers that are written out.

Still confused? Let's look at some examples.

Lyonar's Bolster will grant your friendly minions +2 Health the first time you play Bolster. When you cast it a second time, all friendly minions will gain +4 Health. Upon casting Bolster a third time, your minions would gain +6 Health. Did you manage to get a fifth copy? Well, then that fifth cast will make all your friendly minions gain +10 Health.

When you first play the Abyssian Bonecrusher, it will enter the field as a 5/3. If you play Bonecrusher a second time, you'll now have a mighty 10/3.

Intensify keeps track of the number of times the card has hit the battlefield, which means if you've revived a minion or clone/duplicated an Intensify card in some manner, the effects keep stacking! If you somehow manage to play/revive Bonecrusher 7 times in one game, that 7th spawn will show up as a 35/3!

What about cards with multiple items? As we mentioned above, stacking effect only occurs for the digits printed on the card's descriptions, not numbers that are written out. If a card like Lyonar's Legion mentions adding 1 Crestfallen to your hand, and one copy to your deck, only the 1 Crestfallen will increase with additional plays.

In other words, "1" becomes "2", but "one" will remain "one" in the context of increasing numbers through Intensify.

Now that you've learned how this mechanic works, get ready for an intense week of spoilers!

Streamer Schedule

Don't forget that we still have individual Streamers with cards to spoil!

Please note that this is a tentative schedule based on the streamer’s availability and thus is subject to change.
