Veteran Change
This Veteran makeover features one "tweak" and one "expansion". First, the "tweak": instead of being triggered when the creature attacks, Veteran now triggers whenever the creature deals damage. That means pings from Quicksilver Crossbow, or Battles from Squish the Wimpy, will allow the Veteran creature to get its buff on the turn it's played. This immediately opens up plenty of deckbuilding options and variations, inviting the player to really diversify their Veteran deck based on their playstyle. Crucially, it also means the design/deckbuilding space for Veteran isn't utterly beholden to Mournhold Taskmaster, which you'll see has received a change of its own.
The second change - the "expansion" - introduces Veteran effects for the player's second or third attack. In the case of Holgunn - depicted here - if a creature deals damage a second time, they'll get an extra +1/+1. If they deal damage a third time, you'll also draw a card. This addition gives players more to do and strive for the longer their Veteran cards are in play, and opens up some endgame options that weren't offered by the original Veteran cards. This change also fits right at home with the Pact's theme of surviving at all costs.
