Roadmap
Wyldernook Early Access Roadmap
The path through the Wyldernook is only just beginning.
Since entering Early Access, your feedback has helped shape the world we're building. Today we're sharing a look at what's ahead as we continue evolving the world’s adventures, cards, and handcrafted art.
On the first Tuesday of the month, faction-focused card drops will deepen each faction's identity, introducing new characters, abilities, and tools for players to discover new ways to build and play their decks. Each faction drop will include 2x Legendary Champions, 2x Epics, 2x Rares, 2x Commons. In the second half of the month we will release art updates as more of Wyldernook's world evolves from early sketches into fully realized illustrations.
In Q3, the most requested Ranked and Leaderboards will arrive, giving players a place to prove their skill and see how they measure up against the rest of the community.
Then in Q4, the journey continues with Chapter 2 of the Campaign, taking you deeper into the heart of the Wyldernook and uncovering more secrets of the arch-witch, Serincenthe.
Throughout it all we will continue to add various community requested features and polish improvements.
As with any journey through the unknown, our path may change as we learn from the community and continue developing the game during Early Access. Thank you for walking the path with us! We're excited to share what comes next.
About the Game
A BATTLE OF WITS
Be on guard! Here lies a strange world where the soil empowers everything it touches, and corruption is just around the next bend.
Wyldernook is a champion-led card battler focused on mind games. Each player plans their turn in secret, then actions are revealed simultaneously. Predict your opponents' next move and you'll be unstoppable.
WHY PLAY WYLDERNOOK
Reckless Gremlins, Trickster Fae, and Primordial Beings will bend others to your will…
Wyldernook applies the love of champion style deckbuilding and classic TCG tactics into a new style of simultaneous turn based gameplay. This allows you to take time honored card dynamics (plus a few new mechanics!) and apply them in entirely novel ways to dominate in singleplayer Duels, multiplayer Court PVP, or a Roguelike Campaign.
A major perk of Wyldernook’s gameplay style is that even with 4 players, simultaneous turns keeps the game flowing quickly. Wyldernook is completely free-to-play, with all major features available during Early Access.
You can earn cards from gameplay, along with free daily packs. Cards can also easily be forged directly from dust earned through gameplay and your collection will stay intact after Wyldernooks’ full release. Every card you forge or pull from packs can also be traded.
RESPECT YOUR OPPONENT, OUTSMART THEM ANYWAY
With eyes never meant for the sane, Serincenthe could see through every plan of her enemy…
The journey into the Wyldernook starts with defeating each of its 7 factions to unlock their starter decks, each consisting of a champion and 40 starter cards. Once you’ve amassed these initial 287 cards, your journey into a whole new world of deckbuilding opportunities will quickly reveal itself.
Luck may create opportunities, but consistent victory will come from stronger deckbuilding, correctly anticipating your opponent and creative mechanic iteration.
ROGUELIKE CAMPAIGN
With the Eye, the other races finally stood a chance against the arch-witch…
Starting with a standard deck, you can upgrade to customize it with powerful relics as you explore the Wyldernook, defeating enemies left and right. Along your adventure, you'll be presented with moments of storytelling and role-playing. Will you choose a path of good or power?
A COLLECTION UNIQUELY YOURS
They told the story of a world that was wyld…
Every card in your collection features handcrafted art and is its own unique entity. Games played, wins, losses, and unique stats related to the card itself are all tracked. As you play with them, cards become worn around the edges, a badge of honor for a favorite card. Winning games and defeating enemies in the campaign unlocks fun stickers you can place on cards for added customization. You can even sleeve your cards!
CREATE YOUR OWN RULES
Your story begins here…
Ever dream of designing your own TCG? With the custom Card Creator, you can make your own custom cards and play them with friends in custom games. The unique Rules Engine allows you to easily code your own cards. Wyldernook brings back the era of custom editors and community-made rule sets to the TCG genre.

Patch 0.13.4
Today's patch marks the launch of the Gremlin Faction Update, with new cards for the Gremlins being released today!Read more about the new cards here! We're also doing some light balance changes, keeping with our two week balance update cadence in Early Access. Over the weekend we had our first tournament, which was a huge success and resulted in a lot of exciting games! While there was a definite skew of aggressive decks in the tournament, we felt that overall the metagame was in a pretty healthy place, and that those aggressive decks were varied, with interesting and fun play patterns. Rather than nerfing aggressive decks, we wanted to give a nudge to some Untamed and Coven cards that weren't accomplishing their design goals.Balance UpdatesSplatter now costs 4, up from 2.Splatter has a huge effect on the game, acting all at once as a direct damage card, a board wipe, and a way to trigger on-hit effects. While we don't expect this change to particularly affect the card's playability, at 2 the card was under-costed for how much it gives.Eater of Civilizations now drops its resource cost to 0 when it shuffles back in.Eater of Civilizations no longer has Foretold.Eater of Civilizations is meant to be a resilient top-end threat for Coven decks, but paying 10 multiple times often means that the card isn't accomplishing that goal. The new change drops the card to 0 cost once its shuffled back into your deck, which means that if you overcome the initial hurdle of playing the card and then finally redrawing it, it doesn't kill your tempo once again to replay it. Also, we're removing Foretold from the card. While thematic, it isn't a card whose design benefits from Foretold (unlike say, Culling Hour), and Foretold was silently nerfing an already weak card.Feast Ritual now takes one less turn to complete.Feast Ritual was the weakest ritual card, seeing the least play, so we're helping it out a little.Boundless Cruelty costs 2 baseline, down from 3.Boundless Cruelty's baselin...Read full article on Community Announcements (ian.underwood)Community & EventsOfficial

Patch 0.12.56
ChangesAdded color images to the Play menu.FixesCards that target the graveyard now have the option to target a card not currently in the graveyard, if you want. (For instance, playing Rebirth on another card you've played that turn.)Updated the Graveyard targeting UI to be scrollable by dragging cards, as well as making the scrollbar more visible.Fixed an issue where entering a PvP game wouldn't exit you from that queue.Bestow Destiny no longer erroneously says that it's a Play effect, as Play effects refer only to non-abilities.Fixed Cleansing Rot not removing the Ongoing Effect indicator if it stopped recurring on the first turn.Fixed many of the Human Faction Update cards not having artist attribution.Fixed an issue where the Collection Page wouldn't display the message about owning every card, if you did so.Tappy in Twice as Nice's art, and Brixa in her art, both properly have antennae now.Fixed an issue where Skittering Horror's art would appear as sketch version on deck boxes and history log.Read full article on Community Announcements (ian.underwood)
