New Additions to The Game Include (FOR CLIENT UPDATE 2.28) :
Tournament Chests:
They continue to work on Tournaments to make them interesting and fun. A new tool at our disposal are tradeable Tournament Chests. Each chest contains a random amount of Trainer Tokens and one uncommon or better card from a Standard-legal expansion. Look for Tournament Chests in the reward lineup for future Tournaments!
Special Challenges:
They are also continuing to refine Daily Challenges. With version 2.28 we now have functionality for Special Challenges. Each Special Challenge is only available for a limited time, and offers greater rewards than the standard Daily Challenges. After you patch up to version 2.28 be sure to check your Profile to see the new Special Challenge available!
Shop Updates:
With the new 2.28 version we will have full support for all of the cards and packages available in the XY-Roaring Skies expansion. Look for XY-Roaring Skies bundles and Theme Decks to be available in the Shop.
When version 2.28 goes live, expansions from the Black & White series will be rotated out of the Shop. Redeeming code cards found in physical Black & White series booster packs will continue to unlock digital booster packs from the same expansion.
Trade Listing Costs:
They are also updating the Trainer Token costs to list items for trade. An 8 hour listing will cost 8 Trainer Tokens. 24 and 48 hour listings will cost 24 and 48 Trainer Tokens respectively. We are making this change in an effort to remove clutter from trade listings.
