Changelog

A record of every update to Vulcan Highlander, including changes to the points assigned to cards. Every change is reported as a "release" (we're borrowing the concept of a release from software development).

We are currently in our release 0 "alpha" phase (initial development and play testing). This means the rules and how we assign points to cards are subject to change.

What the version numbers mean

The version number consists of three parts:

  1. Major: a rules change or a systemic change to how points are assigned to cards (these will be rare)
  2. Minor: scoring for a recently released wave — a Magic set and every companion set that ships beside it, such as its commander decks
  3. Patch: a change to the points or legality for an individual card

Preliminary points

This card's points are preliminary. Our assignment of points is derived from EDHREC data, which contains information about players' decks from the most recent two years. To be compared fairly to older cards, we need a full two years of data for a new card. Until then, a card's points may move up or down. We re-evaluate cards on a quarterly basis each year.
