See the full announcement here and an explanation of Artifact Classic vs Artifact Foundry here. Economy • All players now have access to all cards without the need to collect them. • Cards that players have already collected have been converted into gold Collector's Edition cards. • Card packs and tickets are no longer for sale. • Prized with entry fees events have been removed. • Players who were registered in prized events have received Collector's Edition packs equal to the first place payout. • Players with unused tickets have received 1 Collector's Edition pack for each unused ticket. • If you recycle excess Collector's Edition cards, you now receive 1 Collector's Edition pack rather than a ticket.

• Packs and tickets have been removed from the reward track for new players. New players do not receive or earn any Collector's Edition cards. • Existing players who had not yet completed their reward track may continue to do so. Packs and tickets on the track have been replaced with Collector's Edition packs. Gameplay • Matchmaking parameters have been tightened. • The Call to Arms preconstructed decks have been slightly updated for better balance. • Fixed a bug where the client sometimes didn't know it was your turn if you have initiative in lane 1 after both players had no heroes to deploy, and you finished shopping first. • Fixed Blitz Timer timer not working in player-run tournaments.
