v1.4.0

Major Update v1.4.0

The long awaited 1.4.0 update! In terms of balance and build potential it's a fresh experience. There were a lot of changes under the hood and I can only test so many builds on my own, so make sure to leave feedback in the discord (linked in-game) if you've got some!

tl;dr

Many "interim" cards have been removed and replaced with more general cards to facilitate more non-bullet builds

Normal mode should be much more manageable for more builds up until the 20 minute mark

New targeting system to allow more reliable hands off play

Card presentation improvements hopefully make the game easier to approach and understand
