What Changed Recently

Artifact's 2021-03-04 patch opens the full card roster to every player with no collecting required. Previously earned cards convert to gold Collector's Edition copies, while card packs and tickets leave the store permanently. Prized entry-fee events are gone; registered players receive Collector's Edition packs matching the first-place payout, and unused tickets each convert to one pack.

  • New: All cards unlocked for all players, no collection needed.
  • Rework: Collected cards become gold Collector's Edition cards.
  • Removed: Card packs, tickets, and prized entry-fee events pulled from the game.
  • Rework: Recycling excess Collector's Edition cards now yields a pack instead of a ticket.
  • Rework: New player reward track drops packs and tickets; returning players keep their track progress with packs replacing any remaining ticket rewards.
  • Fixed: Matchmaking tightened; Call to Arms precons rebalanced; turn-order client bug resolved; Blitz Timer broken in player-run tournaments patched.
