- ✅ Visual effects for all abilities added and improved.
- ✅ Sound effects for all abilities added and improved.
GENERATION 1 CHANGES

✅ Hatch - Can evolve into any card of the same element.
Fundamental change to Hatch, no longer auto plays a card from your hand, or draws a card, but can evolve into any card of that element.

No longer damages players, no longer damages itself, damage increased to 3, and air is no longer immune.
✅ Blizzard - Freeze any card for 1 turn. Frozen cards cant attack or evolve, and do no retaliation damage.
Reduced from 2 turns to 1 because not doing retaliation damage is a huge debuff.

# 🔮GAME BALANCE CHANGES🔮
GENERAL CHANGES
- ✅ Players that run out of cards to draw will take increasing damage every turn (5, 10, 15, 20...)
- ✅ Max mana is now 9.
- ✅ Evolutions now cost 1 mana.
- ✅ Player can now target any ability on anything, even it if seems stupid.
NEW DECK RULES
- ✅ Card requirement is 35, exactly, no range.
- ✅ Max of 2 per card.
TURN ORDER BALANCE
- ✅ The player who goes first starts the game with 4 cards in their hand, plus they draw one on their first turn, for 5 cards in hand.
- ✅ The player who goes second starts the game with 5 cards in their hand, plus a WHITE LILY card. They draw on their first turn, for a total of 6 cards + white lily in hand.
- ✅ We believe this will bring a pretty close balance to starting first or second, so for simplification, all games will now have have totally random starting turn order (even tournaments).
(THE) WHITE LILY
✅ (t)B(h)L(e)A(w)C(h)K(i)_(t)L(e)O(l)T(i)U(l)S(y)
✅ (The) White Lily has two cards.
✅ It is a very special card that aims to be the most visible and most used but ALSO the most rare.
✅ It will be the most visible and well known card ever, every single game will see a white lily played.
✅ But it will also be the rarest and most sought after card, ever.
✅ Its ability, Divine Equilibrium, gives 1 extra mana to the player whenever they choose.
✅ WHITE LILY - The In Game Turn Order Balance Card.
Auto given to player 2's hand at start of game.
Only exists in the game room.
Does not exist outside of the game room.
✅ THE WHITE LILY - The 1/1 Real Card.
Different art, rarity, and name.
1 in 1,000,000.
Appears everywhere a normal card appears - deckbuilder, card lists, etc.
Can use it in addition to the "in game only white lily" if you happen to have the 1/1 in your deck (good luck).
