MTG: Alara Reborn Sneak Peek #1:

Lavalanche

MTG: Lavalanche

When Borat was shown this card he said- "Niiiiiiiiiiice" . We can see this card making it to a few tournament-worthy decks....Not quite a Wrath of God, but then again you get to keep your critters....and ping your opponent for X. This baby will definitely get rid of those pesky "weenie" decks....more to come....

General Overview:  This is a value priced, loot driven product.  For $9.99, customers get 5 exclusive WOW TCG cards, 2 WOW TCG booster packs, one 500 point UDE points card (5x the value of a normal points card!).  There are three ways for customers to get in-game cosmetic upgrades from this product:

  1. There is an approximate 1:10 chance of having the UDE points card replaced with a loot card.  These loot cards could be any of the previously released loot cards from the first SIX WOW TCG booster sets, including the Spectral Tiger and the Rocket Mount!  This will not include the “super common” loot cards (consumable) from Servants of the Betrayer and The Hunt for Illidan.
  2. Customers could pull loot cards from the included booster packs.
  3. Customers can get a guaranteed in-game cosmetic item by purchasing four of these!  The UDE points card has 500 points on it.  On the UDE points store, we are going to have a selection of 7 different exclusive Tabards for 2,000 points each.  Alternately, customers can put these points towards the purchase of the Fireworks trinket or the Ogre Costume.

Let's Keep it Under Wraps!

WoW Ethereal Plunderer

Here's the first look at the Loot content for the World of Warcraft card game expansion, The Hunt for Illidian, which is scheduled to release in July.

Path of Illidan - This is a "common" loot item.  Most of the time, it will appear approximately twice per booster box.  This card will grant you an item with some number of charges for a ground-changing effect.  This effect will create a green scorched and cracked earth effect when your character walks or runs.  Your enemies will fear you!

Disco in a Box - This is the middle tier loot item.  Clicking on this item makes music for everyone in your party/raid to listen to!

Visually, this could be represented by a "jack in the box" looking item with a disco ball instead of a head.  It's a party every time you use it! This will definitely attract the most attention of any middle-tiered loot item to date!

Ethereal Suit - This is the top tier loot item.  This item will transform your character's appearance into that of a member of The Consortium!  Ethereals are astral travelers; they are pure-energy beings that most often appear in their specially enchanted wrappings that keep their energy forms bound within the humanoid shape.  When they move, they typically leave light streaks in their wake.  These are very cool looking creatures and will be extremely popular!

Get ready to shake your booty !!!!

Loot! There it is!!!!

(June 14th)

WoW: Goblin Gumbo WoW Fishing Chair WoW Spectral Tiger

Here's a few hi-lites on the upcoming 3rd booster release for World of Warcraft CCG: Fires of Outland, releasing in late August.

This set contains 18 new hero cards, bringing additional combinations and deck options to customers.

All new UDE Points program.  Instead of the “Ninjas vs Pirates” game that is currently on the UDE Points cards, there will be a totally new WOW-based card.    This revamp will add tons of value to these already valuable bonus cards.  Instead of just redeeming them online, customers will be able to ALSO redeem certain combinations of these cards at OP events for exclusive promo cards.  This will be done in a way that mimics the online game’s professions (blacksmithing, leatherworking, tailoring, etc.).  Essentially, we’ll tell our customers “recipes” for promo cards, and they’ll hunt down those specific UDE points cards to get them.  This provides another level of collectability to our product and makes it mimic the online game closer.  This is a 100% upgrade.  The cards still function the same way they used to, but we added another layer with more chances for prizes.

...............am I forgetting something ? ......Loot !

Contains three NEW Loot cards. Additionally, the Loot cards are now FOIL and contain an alternate design!  This will make them stand out even more as desirable and flashy cards. as you can see above, these are the three loot cards releasing with this set.

The first one, Goblin Gumbo, allows your character to occasionally burp outlandish gas on your friends !

The second one, Fishing Chair, lets you relax under your own personal umbrella while you fish for those big lunkers that add powerful attributes to your character when cooked! Players will love this!

The third one......the third one...well this one just abosolutely kicks gigantic ass !

The Spectrla Tiger Mount ! No need to comment on this one....absolute coolness factor!

This July 13th Magic: The Gathering's Tenth Edition will be the main focus for all game stores. 10Th Edition...WoW....so much for a fad, eh ? This is part of pop cultue as we know it! Add to this the recently announced Magic Game Day ( July 14th) & we have in our hands the recipe for a huge success.

Tenth Edition is the "Greatest Hits" of Magic, featuring some of the best and most popular cards of all-time. As a Core Set, Tenth Edition sets the standard for Magic, is the ideal entry point for new players, and forms the backbone of constructed tournament play.

383 BLACK-BORDERED card set.

Key Selling Points:

Black Borders - For the first time since 1993 the entire run of the Core Set will have black borders. This is a huge change and one that players are very excited about.

New Art - As always the Core Set brings amazing new art to old favorites, from Incinerate to Nekrataal to Lord of the Pit.

More Power - Tenth Edition may be the best place for a new player to start but it's by no means a beginner set. With powerful cycles incredible combo cards, and a few things players never thought we'd reprint, Tenth Edition is the most exciting Core Set since Alpha.
