Toy Battle

 

On land, on sea, in clouds, and even in space, battles are breaking out between toys. Your troops need your tactical talent to lead them to victory. Your mission? Be the first to reach the enemy headquarters or control more territories than your opponent.

On your turn in Toy Battle, you either draw two toy troops or place a troop on the board and apply its effect. When you place a troop, you can place it on an empty base, a base that you control, a base that the enemy controls with a lower-valued troop than the one you're placing, or the enemy's headquarters; however, in all cases you must place on a location that has a continuous path to your own headquarters through bases that you occupy, that is, that have your troop on top. If you occupy bases that form a continuous path around a region, you claim the medals within this region. (You don't lose these medals if the enemy later occupies one of these bases.)

The game ends as soon as you occupy your opponent's headquarters or win the required number of medals based on the current game board. If a player cannot draw or place a troop, the game ends, and whoever has the most medals wins.

TNT - Dreadball League

 

Following on from our Halo: Flashpoint and Kill Team Leagues is the 2025 Dread Ball League.

This is a great game and although not currently in production there are plenty of teams that are available for you to play. (You don't need your own team as you can use one of the spare ones we have)

This League will feature one multiplayer match every week. This will mean that regardless of the amount of players present there will always be a game. The multi player format can accommodate up to 6 teams.

Once again this will be a free event, and will be played on Tuesday Nights from 7pm (Although, players can arrange a game on other days as long as it is at the shop and with players that have not already played for that week.)

The league will be the "Galactic Tour Magnetar Circuit" and each week the teams will visit a different world in the circuit. There are 4 worlds in total and we will visit these twice during the league. 

The venues are Cavlax VI, New Atlantea, Ovostar-2 and Memphis Max. (I will post more details on these venues each week.)

Teams will start with 1000mc and will be able to employ the additional support staff of Mechanic, Hydrator or Fixer. Teams will advance as they play getting new skills and injuries as the league progresses. 

At the end of 8 weeks we will have our 2025 League Champions, will it be your team?

Commander Party - Tarkir Dragonstorm

This Thursday it is the Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander Party Event, starting from 6pm and continuing through til 10pm. 

What is Commander Party?

Commander Party offers players a fun way to experience the Commander format with a Magic story-driven twist. For Tarkir: Dragonstorm, players align with a Tarkir clan and use a set of special clan abilities by tapping into the gathering power of the Dragonstorm. But the Dragonstorm can grow too strong, unleashing dragons across the battlefield!

It will run alongside our regular Commander Night and is completely free to join with. All players that come along on the night will get a special promo card. Which is Dragonspeaker Shaman.

How does the Dragonstorm work?

Place the Dragonstorm within easy reach of all players. Allow players to select a clan card to use during the match—they may choose any clan, and more than one player may select the same clan. Each clan card lists abilities that can be activated during play for a cost of faction counters.

 

Each player will need a set of faction counters to use during play. They should easily fit on the Dragonstorm and be distinguishable from other players' faction counters.

Gameplay

A player places one faction counter on the Dragonstorm whenever they do one of the following:

• Cast a commander or Dragon spell.
• Deal combat damage to an opponent with one or more creatures.
• Cast a noncreature spell with mana value 4 or greater from their hand.

Once during a player's turn, they may activate as a sorcery one of the abilities listed on their clan card by removing the number of their faction counters specified.

At the start of each end step, if the Dragonstorm has fifteen or more total faction counters, each player with counters on it activates their last faction ability without paying its cost; remove all counters from the Dragonstorm.

Does my deck have to feature cards from Dragonstorm?

Players are very welcome to bring their own decks to Commander Party, and those who don't have decks can still enjoy the event with one of our decks.
