Welcome Back!
This article assumes you're someone who has played the game before, at least to some extent. You don't need to remember every little detail, but it does assume you know the basic rules enough to understand these changes.

As always, if you have any questions, we're happy to help on our Discord server!
What's New
New Sets
Wave 6: World Strike: 31 characters, 62 battle cards, 35 stratagems
Wave 7: Monster Menagerie: (10 characters, 20 battle cards, 16 stratagem
Wave 8: Waste Lands: 38 characters, 81 battle cards, 41 stratagems
Wave 9: Ark Exodus: 16 characters, 28 battle cards, 15 stratagems
Wave 9A: The Shadow Emperor: 2 characters, 3 battle cards
Wave 9B: Brutal Combaticons: 5 characters, 4 battle cards
Wave 10: CNA Augmentation: 11 characters, 25 battle cards, 20 stratagems

Occasionally, these sets will be updated with a fix or balance update. Think of it like a video game patch. We try to keep these updates few and far between, but we would rather fix a card than ignore it or ban it.

New Factions & Keywords
Factions: Quintesson Quintesson, Junkion Junkion, Unicronian Unicronian.
Keywords: Horde, Oppress, Bandit, Drifter. (hover for explanation)

New Card Type: Rolling Actions
Rolling Actions are new type of action cards that are played tapped and face-up. They are not scrapped at the end of your turn, and untap at the start of your next turn. Once untapped, you can use their effect. Typically it involves scrapping the Rolling Action in order to gain a benefit. Take the Shot is a simple example.

New Mechanic: Stations
Stations are represented by the Station Station icon, Stations are most commonly found on characters with a ride-able alt mode. They can be occupied by other characters and give bonuses to those characters. A more in-depth explanation of Stations can be found on the page of any card with one, such as Greasestain.
Banned List

You can go to a card's page if you'd like more detail on why it was banned. In short, most of the bans either were banned by Wizards of the Coast, from Wave 5 issues, or were a card that saw complete dominance and so we made a slightly nerfed version to replace it.
New Rules
When battling, the pierce gained from flipped battle icons no longer persist through end of turn, only through end of battle. This brings them inline with and battle icons.

If an effect would move "any number" of damage counters from one or more characters to another, the total amount of counters moved this way cannot exceed the receiving character's remaining health. If an effect moves a fixed number of damage counters from one character to another, the number moved can exceed the receiving character's remaining health.
In short, Dinobot Sludge cannot move more counters onto than he has health remaining.

Bellicosity and End Hostilities cancel each other out.
The Current Meta
This is often asked by returning players: "what are the meta decks now?" "what decks are popular?" That's a hard question to answer, because the game is currently at a state where there isn't a clearly defined meta. That's intentional. It is our goal to bring as many characters/deck styles up to par as we can. This game will always have a hint of paper-rock-scissors to it, but by and large the winner will be the better player who builds a better deck.
How We Play
We use three methods to play, all of which are detailed on the Playing Online guide. In short, we either use webcams to play with physical cards, or we play digitally using OCTGN or Tabletop Simulator. In all three cases, we try to keep the game cheap (if not free) for people to play. OCTGN is free, Tabletop Simulator often goes on sale for $10, and we are totally fine with you printing cards at home to use on webcams.
