Flick Em Up Red Rock Tomahawk

If you like Flick Em Up then you will love this expansion...

The infamous Cooper clan has begun taking over small villages. Those villages, however, belong to the Native Americans who are armed with bows and tomahawks and ready to defend their land in five exciting scenarios in Flick 'em Up!: Red Rock Tomahawk.

But they best be careful around the Cooper clan's new weapon: the relentless Gatling gun.

Here is a reveiew by Tom Vassel which covers the new game play...

Mechanics of Kaladesh

CREATE

Starting with Kaladesh, you're going to see a new rules term on cards: create. This new bit of templating is a new way to say "put a token onto the battlefield." This isn't a functional change in any way. The tokens still enter the battlefield like they always did. Before this change, you might've seen text like "Put a 1/1 colorless Thopter artifact creature token with flying onto the battlefield." Now you'll see this:

VEHICLES

What's better than watching your armies march into battle to meet the enemy head-on? Watching your armies drive into battle to meet the enemy head-on, of course! Vehicles are a new type of artifact, representing some of those wondrous inventions I talked about earlier. Here's Sky Skiff:

Each Vehicle starts out as just an artifact. Well, an artifact with some potential. But they won't just get up and attack your opponent by themselves. Not even Kaladesh has mastered the self-driving car yet. Each Vehicle has a crew ability that turns it into an artifact creature.

To activate the crew ability, tap any number of creatures you control with total power equal to or greater than the crew number. Because the crew ability doesn't use the tap symbol, you can tap any untapped creature you control, even one that just entered the battlefield. You can even tap an animated Vehicle to crew another Vehicle. Say you controlled a creature with power 1, Sky Skiff, and another Vehicle with crew 2. The creature can crew the Sky Skiff, and the Sky Skiff can then crew the other Vehicle. I said a world of wondrous inventions, didn't I?

While it's true that you can tap any untapped creature to crew a Vehicle, some creatures are better at driving than others. Look for the new creature type Pilot, as seen on cards like Speedway Fanatic.

Each Pilot has an ability that somehow cares about crewing Vehicles. Many of them, like Speedway Fanatic, give that Vehicle an ability or a bonus of some kind. Notably, once a Pilot crews a Vehicle, that bonus stays even if the Pilot is later removed from the battlefield. In fact, there's no real connection between the Vehicle and the creatures that crew it once the crew ability is activated. Blowing up the Vehicle won't affect the crew, and vice versa.

You may also find ways to animate your Vehicles even without a crew. Maybe a card that lets you start your engines, so to speak.

If the effect turning your Vehicle into an artifact creature doesn't specify its power and toughness, use the printed power and toughness on the Vehicle. Other effects may turn a Vehicle into an artifact creature but specify its power and toughness. In that case, use the specified power and toughness. They'll overwrite whatever's printed on the Vehicle. And in any case, remember that Vehicles don't have a power or a toughness unless they're creatures.

ENERGY

Aether is a magical energy that's found throughout the Multiverse, but it's become an integral part of the ecosystem on Kaladesh. Refined aether is the primary power source for most of Kaladesh. On cards, this magic energy is represented by energy counters, a new kind of counter that players can get.

Most cards that give you energy counters also give you a way to spend them. Note that it's you, the player, who gets the counters. For example, if a creature has an ability that gives you some energy counters when it enters the battlefield, you keep those energy counters even if that creature later leaves the battlefield. Energy counters don't go away as phases or steps end. Energy counters don't go away as the turn ends. The only way for you to lose them is to spend them. Energy counters that you get from one card can be saved up and spent on abilities of other cards. So having eight lands enter the battlefield is one way for the Architect to summon a Beast for you, but there are faster ways.

FABRICATE

One of the glorious things about living on Kaladesh is the modern marvel of mass production. Fabricate is a new ability found on some creature cards that offers you a choice when that creature enters the battlefield.

As you can see on our friend Glint-Sleeve Artisan, that choice is as follows: put a number of +1/+1 counters on the creature, or create a number of 1/1 colorless Servo artifact creature tokens. The number after fabricate tells you how many +1/+1 counters or Servos you get.

The fabricate ability triggers when the creature enters the battlefield, but you don't choose counters or tokens until that ability resolves. That means your opponent will have an opportunity to respond to the ability before you make that choice and before the +1/+1 counters or Servo tokens exist. If the creature with fabricate isn't on the battlefield as the fabricate ability resolves, you must choose to create the Servo tokens. This may be little consolation as your Artisan is dead, but at least you get a little friend in return.

Prerelease Time!!!

Tomorrow it is Kaladesh Prerelease. So to get things started, here are a couple of things to think about...

INVENTOR'S TOOLKIT

When you head into the Prerelease and sit down to play, you'll be handed a quite, well, inventive new deck box containing everything you need to build your deck. Check out this marvel of engineering!

Everything you will be playing with comes right in the box—plus a few bonus perks.

For example, you'll find this lovely spindown D20 you'll get to walk away with:

INVENT YOUR TOMORROW

Most important out of everything inside your Prerelease pack are the six booster packs that will give you the cards you need to build your Sealed deck, plus your shiny bonus Prerelease card. (Which could be any rare or mythic rare in the set!)

First things first: crack open those booster packs! Then you'll have a stack of cards.

So...what now?

It's time to build your deck, of course!

Sealed Deck is a little different from normal deck building. You get to build a deck only using the cards in front of you, plus as many basic lands as you'd like. Also, unlike a normal Constructed deck where the minimum deck size is 60, you only have to play 40 cards.

The first thing you're going to want to do is figure out a method to pick which colors you'll be playing. I recommend playing two colors.

Some things that may draw you into specific colors are:
A really strong rare you're excited about
Plenty of "removal" cards that can deal with your opponent's creatures
A lot of playable cards in that color
A good "mana curve" in that color—meaning lots of creatures of different costs

Ideally, the colors you pick will have all four, but if two or three of those are true that's plenty good.

Whatever your method, you're going to need to narrow down what you're playing. If you get stuck at the Prerelease, feel free to ask the players around you for help. (You are allowed to do this at a Prerelease—everyone is there to make sure it's a fun event!)

But whatever your method, now you have your colors down. From there, how do you take everything you have and figure out which 22–23 cards you're going to want to put in your deck?

Here's one process that may help!

First, lay your creatures out in mana-cost order. This helps you see what creatures you're going to potentially have available to cast at each part of the game. (Don't lay your noncreatures out at this point unless they're cards you are planning to play as soon as you have that much mana—for example, you will generally cast a Metalspinner's Puzzleknot on turn two, whereas Harnessed Lightning isn't usually a turn-two play.)

A good "mana curve" of creatures is crucial to a successful Sealed deck. You don't want to have a ton of cards at any single spot in the curve. It's important for you to be able to have a good mix so you can play your cheap spells in the early game and your expensive spells in the late game. As a very general rule for Limited, I would look to play something like this:
1 mana: 0–2 creatures
2 mana: 4–6 creatures
3 mana: 3–5 creatures
4 mana: 4 creatures
5 mana: 3 creatures
6+ mana: 1–2 creatures

That's far from hard and fast, but it's a good place to start. Cull your creatures down to these numbers by choosing your favorites.

Now that you have your core creature base figured out, it's time to add in spells! Pick your favorites among your colors to bring your deck to 22 or 23 cards, and then you're good to go from the spell side.

The spells you're going to want the most are what are called "removal spells"—these are the spells that permanently neutralize your opponent's creatures, by either dealing damage, keeping them tapped, or just straight-up destroying them. Sealed Deck Magic is all about creatures, so you'll want to play most of the cards in your colors that can get rid of your opponent's creatures.

Kaladesh is particularly interesting, in that it has a high number of artifacts compared to a typicalMagic set. You're going to have more artifact options than normal. Unless these are also creatures, they should be counted among your noncreature spells, so narrow it down to the ones you really want to be playing with.

Additionally, Kaladesh introduces Vehicles! More on exactly how those work later (or you can just click here), but they're sort of like creatures. However, you do need (other) creatures to be able to crew them. If you play a couple Vehicles, you can treat them like creatures for your creature count, but be wary of playing too many lest you end up with a board full of Vehicles and nothing to drive them!

Interested in more tips? Here are a few more things to keep in mind for deck building:

You can play more than 40 cards, but you really should stick to 40 if you can. Every card you play past 40 just means it's that much less likely you're going to draw that awesome rare you put in your deck!
The land ratio you're looking at should be about seventeen lands to 23 nonlands. This isn't right 100% of the time, but most Limited decks end up looking like this, and, in general, it's what I would want to have.
Play a mix of cheap-to-cast and expensive-to-cast cards. If you have all cheap, small creatures, then a single big creature can shut you down. Likewise, if you have all expensive, large creatures, you risk getting run over first. Stick to a mix that focuses on the two-, three-, four-, and five-casting-cost creatures. More games of Sealed Deck are won by casting a creature every turn starting on turn two or three than any other way.
Evasion is important! Often, Sealed Deck games will get into stalls where both players have a lot of creatures and neither player can attack very well. Creatures with abilities like flying ensure that you can break through these creature stalls.

Other than that - come along and have a great game or two!!!

Kaladesh - Things you might want to know!

New plane, new characters—naturally, Magic's inaugural trip to Kaladesh brings a lot of firsts to the game.

Here are few important things...

1. Energy Counter
What it is: A lot of cards in Kaladesh produce energy counters, which players accumulate as the game goes on and spend in order to enable various abilities. For example, take a look at Aethersquall Ancient:

Flying

At the beginning of your upkeep, you get [three energy counters].

Pay [eight energy counters]: Return all other creatures to their owners' hands. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.

Why it matters: Players will need to keep track of their energy counter total. They can do that with dice, or by using a token, or some combination of the two.

2. Planeswalker Decks
Kaladesh brings two new products to the mix. The first is an introductory product and the other is for more engaged players.

Why they matter: Going forward, these two products will accompany each Standard-legal set (Intro Packs and Fat Packs will not).

Planeswalker Decks are the best first purchase for players with a basic understanding of Magic, but its features are meant to appeal to experienced players as well. Each deck is ready-to-play with sixty cards including one Mythic Rare Planeswalker and a host of cards that synergize with it.

3. Bundle

The Bundle is for players looking to dive right into the new plane, with ten boosters to help update their Standard decks, plus a Player's Guide with info on key characters, settings, and every card in the set.

4. Rotation

Note also that Kaladesh triggers a Standard rotation—Magic Origins and Dragons of Tarkir are out.

X-Wing Wave 9 - Incoming!

"Stay in attack formation!"

–Darth Vader

Set your course. Fly at the enemy. Take aim, and fire!

Next week we will be getting the new wave 9 X-Wing ships from Fantasy Flight

ARC-170 Expansion Pack
Special Forces TIE Expansion Pack
Protectorate Starfighter Expansion Pack
Shadow Caster Expansion Pack

From left to right: ARC-170, Special Forces TIE, Protectorate starfighter, and Shadow Caster

Between these four expansions, you will find zero turrets. Instead, you will find two auxiliary firing arcs, one mobile firing arc, and a starfighter with zero shields… whose pilots practice flying straight at their foes. And there is plenty more to this wave than just its ships. You will also meet Poe's mother, discover new First Order tech, welcome a handful of Mandalorians to the Scum faction, and gain the ability to fly Sabine Wren as a Scum bounty hunter.

ARC-170 Expansion Pack

The Rebel Alliance recovered, repaired, and retrofitted a handful of ARC-170 starfighters during the Galactic Civil War. Though somewhat antiquated, the ship was still a force to be reckoned with, featuring powerful cannons, heavy shielding, and a tail gunner.

The ARC-170 Expansion Pack introduces this starfighter to X-Wing as a somewhat sluggish vessel with six hull, three shields, and one agility. It flies well at slower speeds, but struggles at higher speeds, featuring six green maneuvers at speeds "1" and "2," even while four of its seven higher-speed maneuvers are red.

Meanwhile, as with all the ships in Wave IX, the ARC-170 rewards you for catching your foes within its firing arc, even if that arc is its auxiliary arc. Even though the ARC-170's primary weapon boasts an unmodified value of just "2," you can give it an Alliance Overhaul to boost its attacks from its primary firing arc by one die or to change one result to a whenever you perform an attack from its auxiliary firing arc.

Additionally, the expansion comes with four ship cards that introduce four new aces, including Poe Dameron's mother Shara Bey , who flew as Green Four during the Battle of Endor. Its nine new upgrades allow you to take advantage of the unique pairing of crew and astromech upgrade slots.
Special Forces TIE Expansion Pack

Only the First Order's most elite pilots were authorized to fly this specialized two-seater TIE craft. Outfitted with enhanced shields, weapons, and sensor systems, each Special Forces TIE fighter had a dual heavy laser turret mounted to the bottom of its fuselage. In conjunction with a warhead launcher, this turret made the fighter's weapons far more threatening than the standard TIE/fo fighter's and granted the ship an extra measure of defense against threats to its rear.

Although it looks almost identical to the TIE/fo fighter, the Special Forces TIE is an entirely different vessel, trading away a point of agility in favor of two extra points of shields, and boasting an entirely different maneuver dial.

Moreover, while both ships feature a primary attack value of "2," the comparison between the two ships' offensive capabilities quickly breaks down. First of all, the Special Forces TIE can equip a missile upgrade. Then, more importantly, the Special Forces TIE can equip the Special Ops Training Title for free. Like the Alliance Overhaul for the ARC-170, this upgrade allows you to add an attack die to any attack you make from your primary firing arc. On the other hand, if you choose to forsake the extra attack die, your Special Ops Training makes it possible for you to take shots from both your primary and auxiliary firing arcs in the same round.

To ensure that your squad benefits as much as possible from your Special Forces TIE and Special Ops Training, the Special Forces TIE Expansion Pack introduces four new pilots, including two unique aces, and five upgrades. Notably, since the Special Forces TIE features slots for both a systems and tech upgrades, you will find new cards for both these slots included in the pack.
Protectorate Starfighter Expansion Pack

Also known as the "Fang fighter," the Concord Dawn Protectorate starfighter was a fast and sleek Mandalorian vessel custom-built for fighter combat. Equipped with a hidden torpedo launcher and pivot wings that provided vector thrust control, the Protectorate starfighter lent itself well to its pilots' aggressive approaches. They leveraged their ship's unmatched agility and narrow attack profile to execute the deadly head-on charges of the Concordia Face Off maneuver.

Pulled from Star Wars Rebels and the pages of Star Wars: Kanan, the Protectorate starfighter enters X-Wing as one of the most potent—and most deceptively simple—vessels in the Scum and Villainy fleet. It boasts a healthy and aggressive stat line of three attack, three agility, and four hull, and it grants its pilots access to the focus, target lock, barrel roll, and boost actions.

But while the ship's range of actions and maneuver dial, combined with its lack of shields, suggest that it should be a classic arc-dodger in the vein of the A-wing and the TIE interceptor, its pilots, like Fenn Rau , tend to favor brash, head-on charges. Accordingly, among the expansion's six ship cards and two upgrades, you will find no fewer than four cards that reference "Range 1," and three that reward you for flying straight into your opponent's firing arc.
Shadow Caster Expansion Pack

The signature starship of the young and ambitious bounty hunter Ketsu Onyo, the Shadow Caster was agile and powerful, but lightly shielded, trading heavy ray shielding for speed. In addition to its laser cannons and swivel-mounted, pilot-operated turret, the craft was equipped with a powerful multi-directional tractor beam.

Both the Shadow Caster and Ketsu Onyo make their way from Star Wars Rebels to X-Wing with the Shadow CasterExpansion Pack. They arrive to the Scum and Villainy faction along with four ship cards and twelve upgrades that afford you myriad options for outfitting your Shadow Caster with different crew and illicit upgrade combinations.

Importantly, the Shadow Caster Expansion Pack also introduces some new rules and possibilities to your X-Wingbattles. Instead of a full 360-degree turret, the expansion's Lancer-class pursuit craft comes with a mobile firing arc. Indicated by a token that lays over the ship's base, this mobile firing arc can occupy any of the four quadrants indicated on the ship's base, and a pilot can use the rotate arc action to move it to any other quadrant.

This affords the Shadow Caster some of the advantages of a turret even while preserving a distinctive—and more point-efficient—playstyle, and as you might expect, each of the expansion's three unique pilots can put this mobile firing arc to good use, including the new Scum version of Sabine Wren .

Additionally, the Shadow Caster Expansion Pack and its upgrades allow you to litter the battlefield with debris tokens, upgrade your Shadow Caster with the abilities of each IG-2000 in your squad, and force your opponents to suffer the lingering effect of tractor beam tokens that are not removed during the end phase. In other words, the expansion is going to ensure the Scum faction stays updated with all the most devious tricks.
Meet the Enemy Head-on!

"This is gonna be fun. Very fun."
–Sabine Wren

Tiny Leaders

Across the Multiverse, there have been many different kinds of leaders. Khans led the clans of Tarkir. Praetors led the sections of New Phyrexia. Konda led the armies of Kamigawa. But lately, there have been new, very popular kinds of leader. And they look something like this:




Geist of Saint Traft; Ezuri, Renegade Leader; Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer; andSygg, River Cutthroat

Yes, those are all legends—but don't think this is just Commander. No, the Tiny Leaders format is a new variant of Commander, and something that is quickly exploding in popularity.

Welcome to the Tiny Leaders format!


Geist of Saint Traft | Art by Igor Kieryluk

Whether you've heard of the format before or this is your first time discovering it, you're in the right place. Today, I'm going over the format's rules and history, and then jump right into to some of the decks you can build in it!

It's a format that's sort of a mix between Commander and Legacy—and it's incredibly fun.

TINY RULES, BIG GAME

Popularized up in frosty Manitoba by Bramwell Tackaberry and Steven Hamonic, the format is a spinoff of Commander with a few twists. The biggest one encompasses the "tiny" nature of the name: none of your cards (including your commander!) can have a converted mana cost of more than 3!

This makes for an interesting deck-building challenge. First, find a commander that fits the restriction that you want to build around. Then, figure out how to make it work with only cards that cost three mana or less.

Let me lay out the base rules here:

Each player starts with 25 life.
You have a legendary commander that determines your deck's color identity. You can cast over and over for 2 more each time, just like in normal Commander, except it must cost three or less.
Your deck size is 50 cards and it must be singleton (except for basic lands).

In addition to everything on the Vintage banned and restricted list, other banned cards include: Counterbalance; Earthcraft; Edric, Spymaster of Trest; Goblin Recruiter; Karakas; Mana Drain; Metalworker; Mind Twist; Mishra's Workshop;Painter's Servant; Skullclamp; Strip Mine; Survival of the Fittest; and Umezawa's Jitte.

You can't use Derevi, Empyrial Tactician; Erayo, Soratami Ascendant; or Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary as your commander

The format is generally played one-on-one, unlike Commander, but you certainly can play multiplayer.

Notably, another departure from Commander is that there is no commander damage.

You can see the full rules here. But, to shortcut in your head, if you think one-on-one Commander with 50-card decks and only cards that cost three mana or less, you're there. (And, while we won't be getting into the intricacies of sideboarding in a new format today, you're also allowed a ten-card sideboard.)

New for Pokemon

New this week for Pokemon fans are two new triple packs with pins...

Both of these come with three packs of Steeam Seige and cost £12

Star Wars : Empire v Rebellion

Gambit Games is going to be helping to host a Star Wars themed gaming evening for a local company very soon and because of that I have been looking at a number of games that we have to see if they can be played in 30/45 minutes.

The first one I have looked at is Empire vs Rebellion from Fantasy Flight.

This is a really nice 'black jack' style game for two players. It has been a while since I played so I refreshed my memory of the rules by having a look at the DICE TOWER review of the game which covers it reasonably well...

I will be bringing this along to the Tuesday game night this week, so if you want a game please let me know.

STAW: Temporal War FINAL STANDING

After three events the final score for the event was ...

1) Brendan Hay-Ellis: Win-Win-Win (365 Fleet Points)

2) Chris Braz: Win-Loss-Win (341 Fleet Points)

3) Peter Knapp: Loss-Win-Win (270 Fleet Points

4) Ash Hay-Ellis: Loss-Win-Loss (201 Fleet Points)

5) Rob Garcia-Palmer: Win-Loss-Loss (145 Fleet Points)

6) Will Page: Loss-Loss-Loss (106 Fleet Points)

There was a general sentiment that the difference between drawing the Bajoran Interceptor blind (2 attack, 3 total HP) and Bioship blind (6 attack, 11 total HP) was a little extreme! Ash still managed to come 4th with the Interceptor draw... The Bioship draw fleet ranked first - did that influence the outcome?!

We all had a good time, interesting to see the winning fleet used two old TOS Constitution class ships (with fighter support), Rob once again played a joke fleet: the Ferengi! Fun, but lacking some punch. I gave a trick fleet to Will and seeing it was his 2nd time playing wasn't able to fully utilise it (and had to leave early)...

Archer

A few weeks back we got copies of the new love letter game ARCHER...

Archer: Once You Go Blackmail... takes the engine at the heart of Love Letter and adds intrigue, vice, and phrasing as well as new card effects.

In short, each player starts the game with one character card in hand; one character is set aside out of play. On a turn, a player draws one card, then plays one of their two cards, carrying out the effect of their character. Try to knock others out of the round or have the highest number in hand when the round ends. Win enough rounds, and you win the game.

This version of the game includes cards that interact with the hidden card and changes the game a little.

Here are the new cards, including those with new rules...

I think it looks pretty cool. I have a demo copy for anyone that fancies a game.

Legendary Firefly

Following Legendary Encounters: Alien and Legendary Encounters: Predator comes Legendary Encounters: Firefly, a stand-alone game utilizing the Legendary Encounters system set in the Firefly universe.

It came in last week and is a game I have been looking forward to. Here is a quick look at some of the cards...

UPCOMING RELEASE! Burke's Gambit

WizKids is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Burke’s Gambit. Designed by Rob Yates, Burke’s Gambit is a game of bluffing and social deduction, and will release in stores this December.

Players will be speeding through space on Burke’s Gambit, a rugged company freighter on an extremely important mission.

Dice Stars

WizKids Brings More Dice-Rolling Fun to the Tabletop with Upcoming Release, Dice Stars – Coming Soon!

WizKids is pleased to announce an all-new dice rolling game, Dice Stars. From the designers who brought you Mr. Jack, Dice Town, Cyclades and many others, Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc are mixing fun with strategy in this new dice game that is sure to exceed your expectations with flying colors.

Players will take turns drawing and rolling 1 to 3 dice. 

Use your roll to collect dice of the same color or value to strategically fill in your score sheet and win the most points. Watch out for stars: these faces can be powerful multipliers but they come with great risk. When you fill out the special line of stars, make sure you complete the line to get double points: if you don’t finish it, you’ll score zero!

If a player rolls the dice and it’s possible for them to fill out their sheet, they must do so. If there aren’t enough empty spaces left, the player must take a penalty! At the end of the game, players total their final scores and the player with the highest total wins the game.

Pretty simple, right? See if you have what it takes to make the right choices and win Dice Stars!
