In Brief:
- Parallel launched Draft Mode, a new format where players build 30-card decks from up to two Parallels and compete in a seven-win, three-life run.
- Entry costs 300 Glints or 10 Draft Tickets after one free run per week. Rewards include AP packs, Scrap, and Draft Tickets.
- The patch also fixes over a dozen card bugs and adds Traditional Chinese, Korean and French language support.
Parallel TCG rolled out Patch 0.74 with Draft Mode, a new competitive format that breaks the game’s single-faction deck restriction for the first time. Players can now mix cards from two Parallels into a single 30-card deck and queue into a seven-win, three-life bracket.
How drafting works
Players open a draft by choosing one Legendary card from three options, each representing a different Parallel. That pick locks in the first faction’s card pool. A second Legendary pick follows, offering two cards from different Parallels and one Universal. Selecting a faction card adds a second Parallel pool to the draft offerings. Picking the Universal option locks the draft to a single faction plus Universal cards.
From there, players draft one card at a time from sets of three until the deck hits 30. They then choose a Paragon from among their drafted Parallels and get three optional trade slots to swap individual cards before entering matchmaking.
Entry and rewards
Each player gets one free draft run per week. Additional runs cost 300 Glints or 10 Draft Tickets, a new currency earned through Draft Mode and the Premium Battle Pass. Ticket payouts at the end of a run scale with wins. Current rewards include AP packs, Scrap, and Draft Tickets. The team said it plans to expand the reward path as it continues to scale the TCG.
Bug fixes
The patch addressed over a dozen card bugs. Synchronicity was stealing units instead of copying them. Keeper Erez took damage from zero-damage attacks. Catherine Lapointe, the Mad General, kept attacking while stunned. Security Sweep failed to destroy stealthed wanted units and didn’t properly hit The New Dawn and Niamh, Wielder of Faith.
Eterna Nova Overseer’s muster effect wasn’t triggering multiple times per turn. Antius’s Forecast copied the bank card rather than playing it. Ingrid, The Right Hand, replayed the wrong unit.
A separate set of fixes resolved prompt failures that locked players out of continuing a match. Affected cards included Hasty Mobilization, Mod Reshuffling, Smuggled Supplies, Triumph of Europa, Unseen Allies, Upcycled Technology, Hijack, Antius’s Forecast, Eighth Palm of Galli, Collapsing Star, Synchronicity, and Dana Silvertongue.
The patch added client support for Traditional Chinese, Korean, and French, with ongoing translation improvements planned.
