Players owning cards affected by balance errata and bans will automatically receive Print-on-Demand credit in the new errata and ban compensation policy. The program completes another milestone initially shared about one year ago with the game’s first errata patch.

Eligibility

With the new system, any card that has received a balance errata is eligible for Print-on-Demand credit. That means any card that’s been mentioned in a patch significantly modifying its text.

For example, the Axiom version of Haven, Bravos Bastion, would be eligible because its text modification changed the way the card worked in play. The wording for rare Tiny Jinn, however, changed slightly without altering how the card itself works. While the card technically has an errata, it’s not eligible for the compensation policy.

Cards that have been banned, such as the unique Moonlight Jellyfish in the Skybound Odyssey season patch, are also eligible.

Compensation

Players with affected cards need to start by making certain their wallet is active. Starting from the date that a card is modified by a balance patch or banned, compensation is awarded.

For common and rare cards, players receive Print-on-Demand credit of €/$0.25 per card up to a maximum of three cards per faction, per rarity. The example given in the article is a collection with four common Ordis Robin Hood and one rare Ordis Robin Hood. That player would receive €/$ in credit, with €/$0.75 coming from the commons and €/$0.25 from the rare.

Unique cards use the same system but have no limit related to three cards. Players receive compensation for all affected unique cards they own. If a unique card is banned, players receive one random unique from the current set at the time for each affected.

Timeline

Compensation initially happens at the point when the patch connected to the errata or ban goes into effect.

It’s also ongoing, as credit will be distributed if a player adds an affected card to their collection and hasn’t already reached the above-mentioned limits. For banned uniques, a script will compensate new copies after the initial round.

While the SKY season patch goes into effect Oct. 3, compensation for the unique Moonlight Jellyfish banned there will happen sometime during the week of Oct. 6. For this card specifically, players will receive an additional unique.

Affected cards from previous patches, such as Ordis Robin Hood, will have their compensation completed Sept. 29.
