<br>Unlike physical board games or older console titles, these live-service games exist in a constant, perpetual state of evolution and refinement.<br> |

<br>This article explores the philosophy behind balance changes, the introduction of new mechanics, and what the future holds for the genre.<br> |

The Philosophy of Buffs and Nerfs |
||||
|
<br>If a card is being used in 40% of all top-ladder decks and has a 58% win rate, it is mathematically overpowered and will receive a 'Nerf' (a reduction in stats, like lower hitpoints or slower attack speed).<br> |
||||
|
<br>The developers must be incredibly careful, as a tiny 4% damage reduction on a single spell can completely destroy an entire deck archetype.<br> |
||||
|
Pay attention to 'Use Rate' vs 'Win Rate'.Try substituting the nerfed card first; the core synergy might still work.Read developer blogs. |

|
New Mechanics and 'Power Creep' |
||||
|
<br>To keep the game fresh and generate revenue, developers consistently introduce brand new cards with entirely unique mechanics.<br> |
||||
|
<br>The developers must constantly combat power creep by ensuring new cards have severe, exploitable weaknesses to balance their shiny new mechanics.<br> |
