@Nibylg Please see the quoted section of the original post, which should answer your questions here.

We will have another iteration in the future which will include some more card changes. We know that some cards are balanced around double affinities, such as Frenetic and Ice Age, and we will be making charge and/or cooldown modifications to these spells to ensure they stay viable.
In some cases the merge doubles as a nerf, and this is true of a few cards, such as Green Peace and Matter Mastery. I do not think it is healthy to have a T2 card which can mind control any tower in the game (same reason we nerfed Nightguard and Parasite Swarm); rather I think if the other affinity lacks viability in some places, such as rPvE, we ought to look at individual NPC tower orb/power costs to potentially move them into takeover range. We also want to more fully differentiate between Matter Mastery and Stone Age.
---
Just to clarify, cards which were not brought forward for changes generally fall into one or more of the following categories:
Each affinity has a substantial playrate. Each affinity has a use case in either PvP or PvE such that it justifies an independent existence for its affinity We are planning on reworking the whole card or one of its affinities. We don't know what to do with the card yet, so combining affinities could be counterproductive if we end up reworking it and having a good concept for two affinities.

Very interesting stuff, definitely a good decision overall imo.
Some questions though, mainly with how getting the replacements will look like for players.
1) Let's say I have two copies of the Sun Reaver card, one of each affinity. After the changes, will I have two copies of the new Sun Reaver instead?
2) Let's say I have a Cluster Explosion (P) \ I don't have a Cluster Explosion (P). Does it make sense for me to hold on to it \ buy one now off of AH to get a better replacement after the patch?
3) Let's say I have a two copies of Time Vortex of each affinity up on the AH when the patch hits. Will the cards be automatically de-listed and given to me back in their new version?
There may be other things I'm not thinking of right now, but overall the main question is: how will it look like for the player? An automatic replacement? Or will it be a trade-in type of situation? This may be a technical challenge for you guys.

Technically this is a re-post and not sure on the digital items made physical and therefore I hope it's okay,
I wanted a physical memento of these cards that stuck out to me as a kid when I played BF originally.

I did extend the side walls for the upgrade level to fit the card size.

Oh wasn't even aware this event was a thing, well made this meme because I can't be the only one that thinks this. Or maybe I am 😄 

Oh no, I completely overslept the deadline! Time sometimes flies!
Anyways, I was trying to do a piano arrangement of the BattleForge theme, but didn't find the time to practice it further or finish the score.
Here is my best recording after ~15min of practice:

Here is my unfinished version of the Sheet Music, in case anyone here wants to try it themselves. I can also send you the MuseScore file, if you want to finish transcribing it 🙂

Hope everyone likes the ice version of Forest Elder… Frost Elder !!, I had the idea of some of my favourite cards rather than different affinities instead being a completely different type !, tried with Fire Harvester and then went on to Frost Elder, I hope you all enjoy !!

Boost Mo for Booster

Some lore beforehand;
On a quiet winter day in the year 2024. A Italian guy named Donaar, world famous for his internet and microphone cables being made out of spaghetti, And a Austrian guy named Jack1989, world famous for sounding like a German and his only deck being an Enlightenment-Batariel deck, were both looking for a challenge. Speedrunning was their thing, they just needed someone to glue a group together. So I (Ziggeeh) came into the picture, world famous for giving everybody better nicknames.
We started to team up more and more to challenge ourselfs and throughout the months we started to form a tight group. Donaar (The Pizza-Guy), Jack1989 (The German-Guy) & Ziggeeh (Mr. TipFromFlip). All that was needed was a mascot or some extra players to do even more group challenges/speedruns. I happened to know some people; A guy named Kaito_O, world famous for not pressing the Shrine of War button. And a guy named Michielos1, world famous for rather playing console games instead of Skylord. Perfect fit, don't you think? With Kaito_O (The Shrine of War-Guy) and Michielos1 (The forgotten console gamer) joining our group, we just needed a name. It just so happened to be that Kaito_O was going to marry around that time. So there the name "Kaito's Wedding Squad" was born.
With later on all time great "CT69" & the biggest snake disguised as a frog "Krapper" joining, we formed a great group of friends. Almost 2 years of daily Discord calls, challenges, speedruns and most important of all; having fun. This all thanks to this great game, Skylords Reborn.
Onto the creation itself;
Last year our mascot Kaito bought a new house, so I decided to make him a postcard for his new home. Nothing special, but with the help of our group and some fellow Skylords we met along our Skylord Reborn journey I think it turned out great!
 

Hey,
My little brother gave me actual Battleforge cards for my birthday!
His name is Pulsar and since he made them he deserves the pack :3
I already posted some in Media so i thought I'd post some different ones here.

I have two submissions!
First is a playmat. Since I play Magic the Gathering, I thought it would be a nice way of promoting BattleForge at tournaments, while also just being an awesome artwork in general 😄  

 
Second is a 3D printed model of the promo Harvester!

Story Time
This one has actually been in the works for quite a while. I have worked on Skylords Reborn for over 5 years, and I really wanted something physical to honor and remind me of such an important part of my life. There are a couple of units I considered. Juggernaut is obviously the most classic BattleForge mascot. The issue is that I never had a personal connection to it. I mostly just remember playing against it. I also considered Parasite Swarm, which was the first Ultra Rare that caught my eye when I started out during the EA days, However, its card design is more interesting than its actual model, plus flying models result in weird constructions. Lastly, I considered Shadow Mage, one of my favourite units of all time. I think its a super interesting card, and after years of playing I still feel I'm not using it to its full potential. In the end, I decided on promo Harvester, which triggers quite a lot of fond PvP memories for me. 
Next, I needed a proper model to print, but this proved to be quite hard, since every model ends up in a T-pose in the editor. After the team made some model breakthroughs over the years, our tech-artist Titan was able to get me a custom pose. Ultralord was also kind enough to help me out with information regarding 3D printing, and even offered to print it for me. In the end, a coworker at my job had a 3d printer that was perfect for the job, so she printed it for me. After that, my girlfriend was kind enough to paint it. Big thanks to all of them, I think it turned out awesome!
Here are some more pictures:



 
Lastly, I made a little ''shrine'' of the playmat, boxart and harvester model. I still plan to print out the card itself as well to finish it up. 

(X) Doubt
;)
 

They also changed "his/her" to "their" for example "Player X accepted to show you THEIR current deck". SJW madness...

Its not the first time something like this is happening...
https://forum.skylords.eu/index.php?/topic/8700-social-justice-in-bf/

Why again was the "dislike" button removed? THAT is what I ask me reading about "liberal shit" and such other crude stuff like above

Ok, so why did  again you remove all the chicks from boosters covers? Definetly not cos of sjw, blm and other liberal shit from ppl newer played any of the games, right?
