Keyforge - Who's winning?

In the last week we have played a fair amount of Keyforge and we now have a good base of players.

In January I will be getting our first tournament kits for this game, but before then I would like to get a feel for which houses are the strongest in our local community.


Starting today and going all the way up to the new year, I would like to record which houses are winning games. When you play in store please let me now the result of your game. Each house that is in the winning deck will earn one point and by new year we should have a break down of the dominant deck types.

I will record each win on a poster which will be displayed in the shop on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

If you have not yet played then please ask for a demo and become part of this great new game!

Incoming!

Want to play Keyforge?


We had our first stock delivered for the great new game Keyforge on Friday of last week. Then on Saturday we had our first few games to see what it was like and it seems like this is going to be a very popular game.

So this Thursday from 7pm at the shop in Tarmount Lane, we will be holding our very first Keyforge evening. It will be very much a casual affair, with the idea being to teach as many people to play as possible. It will also be an opportunity to had out some 'active house' cards, tracker cards and posters.


We have a couple of decks available for you to borrow if you would like to learn as well as plenty of stock of the starter sets and decks.

"She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid. I’ve made a lot of special modifications myself."
–Han Solo, Star Wars: A New Hope

Let the tinkering with new decks begin!
What will you bring to your local Store Championships? Will you play with the top decks from the World Championships, or will you bring decks designed to surprise your opposition? The 2018 Store Championships are here, and now's the time to modify your decks.


The alternate art Force Speed awarded to each of the Top 32 participants features artwork by artist Amelie Hutt that takes us back to a time when the Jedi figured more prominently in the galaxy's affairs. Instead of artwork that recalls Luke Skywalker's rescue of Han Solo from Jabba's Palace, this version recalls the offensive at Ringo Vinda that was led by the sisters Tiplar and Tiplee, both Jedi Masters.


The extended art, Aurebesh version of Tinkering is the same as the card awarded at the Rivals Limited Event, although the misprinted cost has been corrected to reflect the card's actual resource cost of zero.

Top 8
If you hope to make the Top 8, you'll need to make the Force your ally—even if you aren't a Jedi or a Sith.

Fortunately, you don't have to be a Jedi or a Sith to be strong with the Force, as was evidenced by the former Jedi Ahsoka Tano. After her personal trials led her to step away from the Jedi Order—but not from the light side of the Force—Ahsoka remained a powerful Force user and used her skills to help rally the fledgling Rebel Alliance. She also adorns the deck box you'll receive if you make the Top 8 at a 2018 Star Wars: Destiny Store Championship.


Top 4
If you like the new artwork for the Force Speed awarded to the Top 32, but you're not sure you're looking to include the card in a deck you'd rather build around red and yellow characters, then you'll want to be sure to fight your way into your Store Championship's Top 4 places. Each of the Top 4 participants at a 2018 Star Wars: Destiny Store Championship will receive a full-size playmat featuring the same image of Tiplar and Tiplee as shown on the Force Speed card.



Not only does this playmat allow you to enjoy the dynamic colors and lines that Amelie Hutt uses to reflect the speed of the Jedi's movements, but it allows you to start with the artwork in play and at full size. You don't have to draw it, and it won't be cut off at the edge of the card. Instead, you get the whole piece—complete with deflected blaster fire and headless battle droids!
Top 2
Rise to the occasion, battle your way into the Top 2 at your Store Championship, and you'll have proven yourself strong with the Force. For your efforts, you'll be rewarded with a plastic, spot-glossed Ahsoka Tano card—foil-stamped to commemorate your place in the event, either 1st or 2nd.



Not only does this card celebrate your achievement by spot-glossing the galaxy's most famous Togruta, but it dampens the impact of the surrounding scenery and features a grey-scale reverse side that helps you better mourn Ahsoka's loss should you ever lose her… Of course, if you've just made the Top 2, the chances are you won't lose Ahsoka very often.

Store Champion
As the 2018 Star Wars: Destiny Store Champion, you'll have proven yourself the master of your local game store, and you'll have earned bragging rights for the year. But that's not all. You'll have proven yourself a skillful Force user, and since the Force permeates all things, your victory will help you reach out and find your path forward…

Each 2018 Star Wars: Destiny Store Champion wins a Prize Bye worth a first round victory at a 2018 Star Wars: Destiny Regional Championship.

May the Force Be With You

MTG - Guild Kits

Coming soon ... 

MTG Guilds of Ravnica - Mechanics

HOUSE DIMIR AND SURVEIL

The Dimir maintain their power by seeing everything from the shadows. They know what's going to happen before it does, and they're quick to move if they don't like what they see. The new surveilability gives you a look into—and some control over—the future of your draws.

The instruction to surveil always includes a number, such as surveil 2 on Deadly Visit. Look at that many cards from the top of your library. From those cards, put as many cards as you like back on top of your library in any order. Put the rest into your graveyard. Surveil helps you set up better draws for the future. Even if all the cards you looked at end up in the graveyard, you're that much closer to what you need.

Surveil is very reminiscent of the scry ability, but don't underestimate the difference between putting cards into your graveyard and putting them on the bottom of your library. Your graveyard is a much readier resource, and plenty of cards (not to mention the abilities of some other guilds) will be quick to capitalize. If the Dimir love anything, it's advantage, so initiate surveillance on the oblivious and outmaneuver the underprepared.

THE IZZET LEAGUE AND JUMP-START

No guild is more responsible for building (and occasionally blowing up) Ravnica's infrastructure than the inventors and mad scientists of the Izzet. Their most recent innovation, the new ability jump-start, is based on a simple principle: if an experiment succeeds, do it again!

Jump-start is found on instants and sorceries. You can cast a card with jump-start from your graveyard by paying all its regular costs and one additional cost: discarding a card from your hand. Casting a spell with jump-start follows all the normal timing rules, so sorceries with jump-start are still limited to your main phases. A spell with jump-start that was cast from your graveyard can still be countered, and if it has targets, it won't do anything if all its targets disappear or otherwise become illegal. After a spell with jump-start cast from your graveyard resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in any way, it's exiled.

Let's talk about the card you discard to enable jump-start. In the late game, this is a great thing to do with excess lands or other less valuable cards. You can also discard a different card with jump-start, setting yourself up to cast it from your graveyard later. If you end up fighting alongside the Dimir (a risky proposition . . . perfect!), the surveil ability can dump cards with jump-start in your graveyard and turbocharge your options. If casting a spell once is good, casting it twice must be awesome. If the Izzet love anything, it's advantage, so get a jump-start on a dizzying array of spellcasting!
THE GOLGARI SWARM AND UNDERGROWTH
Life is a circle. And the bottom part of that circle dips into the muck and mire of the dead. The Golgari have an entire plane to feed, and they know that just because something stops breathing, it doesn't mean it stops being useful. The new ability word undergrowth is used to highlight abilities that care in some way about the number of creature cards in your graveyard.

Each undergrowth ability is different, so read each carefully to see exactly how all these corpses are going to help you. Golgari decks are highly interested in filling the graveyard. Creature combat is a fantastic way to do that, but discarding cards and dumping cards from the top of your library into your graveyard are just as effective. Undergrowth abilities provide scaling effects that may start small, but they can be dominating in the late game. If the Golgari love anything, it's advantage, so dig through the undergrowth and put the dead to good use.
THE BOROS LEGION AND MENTOR

Corruption and infighting threaten the heart of Ravnica, but the militaristic Boros Legion stands ready to fight for justice. In these unsteady times, they can afford no weak links. The new keyword mentor ensures a strong fighting force from top to bottom.

Mentor is an ability that triggers whenever the creature with mentor attacks. You choose another attacking creature with lesser power as the target. As the ability resolves, compare the powers of the two creatures again. If the target creature's power is still less than the power of the creature with mentor, put a +1/+1 counter on the target creature. If something happened in response to the mentor ability such that the target creature no longer has lesser power, the mentor ability won't do anything.

Attacking with multiple creatures with mentor may require some coordination to get all the bonuses you want, particularly in digital versions of Magic. For example, let's say you attack with Hammer Dropper, Barging Sergeant, and a 3/3 creature. Let's say you want both mentor abilities to target the 3/3, hoping to pump it up to a hefty 5/5. Both mentor abilities trigger at the same time, so you can put them on the stack in either order. But be careful! If you put Barging Sergeant's ability on the stack first, followed by Hammer Dropper's, Hammer Dropper's ability will resolve first. The 3/3 has lesser power than the 5/2 Hammer Dropper, so your 3/3 gets promoted to a 4/4. When Barging Sergeant's mentor ability tries to resolve, it will see the target now has equal power to it. That makes the 4/4 an illegal target for the mentor ability, and that ability won't do anything. You'll be stuck with a 4/4.

That's not optimal, soldier! By putting Barging Sergeant's ability on the stack second (so it resolves first), the 3/3 will pass its check first and become a 4/4. That 4/4 will then pass the check of Hammer Dropper's mentor ability, earning its second +1/+1 counter and graduating as a stellar 5/5. Well done! If the Boros love anything, it's advantage, so help those beneath you rise up and form an elite squad incapable of failure.
THE SELESNYA CONCLAVE AND CONVOKE

Community and solidarity are everything to the Selesnya. They want nothing more than a unified Ravnica, but in a climate where that seems less and less likely, the Conclave resolves to be prepared for what may come. In this set, they employ a tried-and-true tactic, the returning keyword convoke.

Convoke allows you to tap your creatures rather than pay for some or all of the mana normally required to cast the spell. Each creature pays for one mana of its color or for one generic mana if it doesn't match any the spell's colors. If you tap a multicolored creature, you can choose which cost it's covering.

For example, you can cast Rosemane Centaur by paying 3GW. Not a bad deal, but nothing to write your home plane about. You could also cast it by tapping a green creature and paying 3W. Or tap a white creature and pay 3G. Or tap three blue creatures and pay GW. Or tap two green creatures and pay 2W. Or tap five creatures, including at least one green creature and one white creature, and pay no mana at all!

Some things to remember: Tapping a creature for convoke doesn't involve the T symbol, so you can tap creatures with "summoning sickness," basically ones that just came under your control this turn. Tapping the creatures for convoke happens after you're done activating mana abilities. This means if you tap a creature for mana, it will be tapped when it comes time to convoke. Essentially, it can't count twice. Also, using convoke doesn't change a spell's mana cost or converted mana cost. Rosemane Centaur has a converted mana cost of 5 no matter how much mana you actually paid.
HYBRID MANA

A hybrid mana symbol can be paid by one of its two component colors. For example, a cost of b/g (as seen on Status, above) can be paid by either B or G. A spell with a hybrid mana symbol on its mana cost is both of that symbol's colors. Status is a black and green spell, no matter what mana you use to cast it. Hybrid mana gives you great flexibility when considering what cards to include in your deck. And now, back to split cards
.
SPLIT CARDS

If you've never played with split cards before, here's a quick refresher. They're essentially two cards in one. As you cast a split card, you choose which half you're casting. While the spell is on the stack, only that half is considered. The half you're not casting is just ignored. A split card is always a single card. For example, if you are instructed to discard two cards, Status // Statue counts as only one of them. While not on the stack, a split card has the combined characteristics of both halves. This means that while it's not on the stack, Status // Statue has a converted mana cost of 5. (This might be a change from the last time you played with split cards.)

Countdown has started!

Only one more day to go ...

MTG Pre-release

This weekend it is MTG Prerelease for Guilds of Ravnica, and if the idea of spending a day playing a tournament doesn't fit into how you prefer to play Magic, or if you have less time and just want to experience Ravnica on your own time, you can get involved in Open Dueling! 


OPEN DUELING

You get a ready-to-play 60-card Planeswalker Deck and use it to do battle against others participating in Open Dueling, including players participating in the main tournament who are between rounds. 

This is a great way to dip your toe into the water if you aren't sure the Prerelease is something you want to do or if you can't commit 5 hours to a Prerelease event. You can just play games in Open Dueling at your own leisure. Plus, it's fun!

Scum and Villany Conversion Kits

The Scum and Villainy Conversion Kit contains everything that you need to take your existing colleciton of first edition Scum and Villainy ships into the game's second edition.

This kit contains all the components you need to upgrade your Imperial ship collection from the first edition to the second edition, including ship cards, upgrade cards, ship tokens, and maneuver dials. With the conversion kit, veteran and new players alike will be able to choose from a variety of Imperial pilots for each ship, then outfit those ships by selecting from more than one-hundred upgrade cards.

Within this conversion kit, veteran players will find all of the components necessary to upgrade their existing Rebel ship collection from the first edition of X-Wing to the second edition.

Han Solo



The Han Solo Card Game is inspired by a legendary card game from the Star Wars universe! In this exciting game, players try to score as close to zero as they can with their cards. They can add or swap cards to improve their hand during each round, but rolling the dice and getting doubles will shake things up. At the end of a hand, the best score collects the most valuable bounty token. If you collect wisely, you can even steal the Millennium Falcon – the highest valued token. The player whose tokens add up to the highest value at the end of the game wins.

Contents includes: 62 cards, 24 cardboard bounty tokens, 2 dice, and instructions.
-description from publisher's website

The Star Wars: Han Solo Card Game is a hand-management game where players take turns drawing and discarding cards one at a time in hopes of ending the round with the sum of their card values closest to zero. The winner of each round gets first pick of a rotating selection of bounty tokens, and the player with the most valuable bounty tokens at the end of the game wins.

MTG Global Series

Global Series: Jiang Yanggu & Mu Yangling is just a few weeks away: the multiverse's two newest planeswalkers are set to land in your store on June 22.
Here's what you need to know:

1. It's an introductory product, designed with Chinese audiences in mind.

Flavor-wise, it's a whole new branch of Magic story, conceived by a team of Chinese artists, writers, and folklorists, rooted in Chinese aesthetics and mythology. Gameplay-wise, think Planeswalker Deck. It's an introductory product, and the complexity level is set accordingly.
Here's Heavenly Qilin, a pretty good representation of both the flavor and the complexity level:

2. There are 2 new planeswalkers.

The two 60-card decks introduce Jiang Yanggu and Mu Yangling to the multiverse.
Jiang Yanggu wanders the world accompanied by his faithful companion, Mowu, searching for clues to a past he can’t remember. Mu Yangling, an enigmatic storm mage, remembers her tragic past all too clearly but will never give up hope of saving those she loves.
When their paths collide on a sacred magical mountain, they realize they both may be caught up in a greater mystery than they ever imagined.
Take a look at Jian Yanggu and Mu Yangling below:

3. New cards are Standard-legal only in China.

There's a ton of new cards beyond the new walkers. Mechanically, you've seen a lot of this content before, but the art, flavor text, card names have a voice all their own.
Because it's meant as an entry point for new players in China, it's crucial that the cards be Standard-legal, but they really only need be legal in that specific market. (Otherwise, legality works just like Duel Decks or Commander: legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander.)
Think of it like the unique cards in Planeswalker Decks. There isn't much chance they'll make a splash at your next PPTQ, but they still need to be safe for FNM—it would be a lousy experience to make your first purchase, only to find out that you can't play all your new cards.
That's all there is to it! Global Series: Jiang Yanggu & Mu Yangling releases June 22. Take a look at the full deck lists here, then call your distributor to place your preorder.

Leia Organa

Due in this week for Star Wars Legion ...


From Alderaanian diplomat to leader of the Rebel Alliance, Leia Organa’s legacy has been one of inspiration, heroism, self-sacrifice, and leadership. Along with Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, her actions directly led to the ultimate downfall of the Galactic Empire—so it’s only fitting that she takes her place in Star Wars: Legion as the Rebellion’s second commander, battling alongside Luke Skywalker.

Inside the Leia Organa Commander Expansion, you’ll find everything that you need to add Leia Organa to your army as a commander. A single unpainted, easily assembled miniature beautifully represents Leia Organa on the battlefield, while new upgrade cards allow you to customize how she is represented in the game.
