Hello Primateria Community!
We’re excited to bring you another update, packed with some of the latest features and tweaks based on your feedback. This minor update rounds out our recent changes as well as new artwork and changes to our Steam page.
Complete Artwork Collection
We’re thrilled to announce that the final 2 designs from our SuperXP 2024 Artwork Contest have now been added, completing the set of all five winning artworks! Each unique design, crafted in collaboration with our talented players and our artist @DuckArtisan, is now available in-game. Show off these exclusive pieces in your deck and let your opponents marvel at your custom card collection.
New Achievement: Tribute
Introducing the "Tribute" achievement! To earn this accolade, players must beat a boss in Endless Mode using all five artwork winner cards in their deck. It’s a true test of skill and a tribute to our community’s creativity!
Card Changes and Balancing Updates
To keep gameplay balanced and exciting, we’ve made several key adjustments to card effects and mechanics. Here’s a look at some of the changes:
- The Zealot: Effect now reads "up to 2" instead of "2", allowing more flexibility in the zone locked format.
- Cursed Coin: Resolves with "add this card to your hand" instead of creating a copy to prevent exponential cloning.
- Battlemage: Effect is now restricted to once per turn.
- Ignis Snail: Only triggers on the opponent’s turn, making it still usable defensively, but preventing free board wipes with other self-damage cards.
- Painful Exchange: Draws 2 cards instead of 3.
- Pandemonium Lost: Now causes "damage" instead of "discard".
- Wide-Head Miner: Disables itself if no draw is possible.
- Cataclysm: Effect now reads "up to 3" instead of "3", allowing more flexibility in the zone locked format.
- Egg Snatcher: Can now play from both damage and discard piles.
- Slime, the Jam: Effect was changed to "On damage (by battle): create as many level 1 tokens as possible. From damage: discard all tokens in your arena, play this card". This simplifies the card without taking away from the token multiplying nature.
- All-Mother, Aian: To prevent some unintended OTKs, now requires 5 materia to be played and the effect can no longer be copied.
Steam Store Overhaul
We’ve refreshed our Steam Store assets with new artwork to better showcase Primateria’s unique style and gameplay. Visit the Primateria Steam Page and check out the updated visuals!

In our last announcement, we hinted at some exciting news for the future of Primateria. While we’re eager to share these plans, we’re still working hard to finalize the details before making an official announcement.
