Decrees, perks and cards that name it
| Entry | Effect |

Patch history
- Patch #29
Pagoda: Pagoda's ghost count now increases whenever a unit is destroyed. You will get 9 ghosts per level + any unit destroyed during your run. Pagoda Ghost count was always an arbitrary number and we hated that. Now you have total control of its scaling and can make full builds around it. By proxy, it also adds a whole new layer to cards like Sacrifice.
- Patch #30
Necropolis quest: you now start with one extra Sacrifice card.
