Parallel TCG Deactivates Key Cards: Urgent Metagame Changes

The Parallel TCG team announced an important update regarding the current state of the metagame. After several weeks of community feedback and an internal data review, the decision was made to temporarily deactivate two cards that were affecting the balance of the competitive format.

The measure is already in effect and is part of a strategy to improve the gameplay experience while a larger patch is being developed.

Which cards were deactivated in Parallel TCG?

The deactivated cards are:

• Makeshift Masterworker
• Second Chance

According to the development team, both cards were having a significant impact on the current metagame. The community consistently expressed that the format did not feel balanced or dynamic.

After reviewing both player feedback and internal match data, the team confirmed that the competitive environment required immediate adjustments.

The state of the metagame in Parallel TCG

In recent weeks, the metagame had started to show repetitive patterns. Certain strategies were dominating frequently, reducing variety in tournaments and ranked matches.

The team acknowledged that the format was not delivering the competitive experience expected from Parallel TCG. For that reason, this intervention aims to restore strategic diversity and improve the interaction between decks.

The studio also confirmed that it will continue monitoring the format’s performance after these changes.

Why was this decision made now?

The next official patch is still several weeks away. Leaving the format in its current state until that update was not considered a viable option.

The temporary deactivation allows for an immediate change without requiring a full client patch. This helps stabilize the metagame while deeper solutions are being developed.

The studio clarified that deactivations are not the ideal long-term solution, but in this case they represent the fastest way to restore a healthier competitive environment.

What’s next for Parallel TCG?

The team indicated that it is already working on a broader patch that will include additional adjustments. As the next update approaches, more details about the planned changes will be shared.

In the meantime, they will continue evaluating the impact of the deactivation of Makeshift Masterworker and Second Chance on the competitive environment.

In their statement, the team thanked the community for its patience and highlighted the importance of ongoing feedback to improve the game.
