Changelog/Balancing

Card balance changes and fixes

- Rattlechains: Spirits in your hand now correctly each gain 6 mana when Rattlechains enters the battlefield. - Ghoulsteed: When returning Ghoulsteed to the battlefield through a Landfall when the battlefield is full, you now Discard 2 cards only if you choose to replace a creature with Ghoulsteed. - Just the Wind: The card’s Madness will now properly trigger. - Undergrowth Champion: Removed references to being immune to Destroy spells and effects. - Inner Struggle: The card text has been fixed. It now reads “Deal damage to a creature equal to it’s Power”. - Hope Against Hope is now a Spell rather than a Support. Please note that should this change break any of your deck’s limitations, you will be prompted to change your affected decks.

* This card’s abilities are unchanged. The change was made because it made a lot more sense as a Spell than a Support. * The card now also properly gives First Strike to Humans only.

- Creatures should no longer be stuck in a Transform animation.
- Incited Rabble: It’s activated gems are now properly removed from the board when bounced back to hand.
- Destroying Supports was incorrectly flagged as the Support being Discarded and could trigger Madness as well as cards that trigger abilities off Discarding cards. This issue has been fixed.
