Artifact’s first big update adds new modes and a neat chat wheel

The first big Artifact update is out, slapping new decks on the table and letting people chat while they use them. There are no new cards in Valve’s CCG, but fans of the Call To Arms mode – where everyone dukes it out with pre-constructed cards – might be pleased to see two new decks. That’s not my jam, but the new Pauper tournaments where expensive cards are forbidden just might be. I’m most intrigued by the new chat wheel though, which lets me tease opponents using my unit’s voices.

We’ve also got bot gauntlets, leaderboards, colourblind support and more. None of that’s especially interesting to me, but hey – a “skill-based progression system” is coming next week!
