Hey everyone, I'm Errodu and I'm a real big fan of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. Not to mention an official judge and encourager of it as well.

Here I will post recent updates about the game, whether it's about a new tournament starting or an event going on at your local residence!

Lets get to the first thing, shall we?

Tournament updates will be posted in Gold.

Card/Expansion Pack updates will be posted in Darkblue.

Miscellaneous events/updates will be posted in green.

December 16th and 17th: Hobby League Beta Arrives!

World of Warcraft, Trading Card Game isn't quite as popular yet to many people because it's still new, but Upperdeck and Blizzard are still making it as interesting as ever. To try and boost its popularity, they've released a "Beta" version of their Hobby League, where people will gather in one area and do nothing but play WoWTCG all day long! Whether you're there to learn it or just find it interesting, you won't leave empty handed because they'll give out limited edition cards called Extended Art Cards, where you get 50% more art on the card. Just by walking in (And perhaps paying an entry fee, some card stores are like that) you'll automatically recieve an Extended Art Card called The Defias Brotherhood. Want to join in? There's hundreds of local card stores that are participating in this event, so there's a good chance a card store near you will host it! Click the link below to find out more information on where you can find a store to play at!

This event might not happen, since poor planning on upperdeck's part has held back specific card stores from hosting this event. There are quite a lot of card stores that do not even know they were going to host the event, so call the cardstore you were planning on going to before saturday and sunday to find out if they will host the tournament.

December 6th: Onyxia's Raid Deck Now Availible!

Now I barely play the World of Warcraft MMO, but Onyxia's so popular a character in Warcraft, that even I know who she is. Recently Upperdeck released a very unique pre-constructed deck called a Raid Deck. More information on how to play this deck will be released in another topic, but this concept of a Raid Deck is so fun and unique, it'll sink you and keep you stuck into the TCG craze! Check out this website to find more information about it!

Umm, yeah quite razz

I work with card stores and they let me in on all the details concerning events and what not (And upperdeck has been "surprising" quite a lot of stores. "What the hell?! Why didn't we know about this tournament?!" "What the... We were never informed or even given the prizes to hand out for this thing..." Yeah, It went like that for over 20 differant card stores.) I mean do YOU have a card called Feast of Great Winter? Sure it's not tournament legal but in my opinion it's massively collectible since only selective stores were given it (I got it from one of them for christmas.)

What I have learned from Upperdeck's site is that they like to "make up" tournaments and not inform the stores if they're going to go through with it or not. It's kinda disturbing in my opinion.

Now, some stores are giving out ONE invitation on the 6th and the 7th, I don't know what's on the invitation (didn't ask) but it's supposed to invite you to the regionals. Maybe it lets you bypass the $20 fee for the regionals, I don't know, but that's what I know, I read the official letter from upperdeck and that's what will happen.

check the link i posted for info on Regional whereabouts.

since any "invite" to Regionals would only mean a "free pass", any sanctioned tournament would work. these sort of events are only based locally and not advertised worldwide.

as for your FoGW card, it's just a season's greetings card sent by UDE (their way of sending Christmas cards to sanctioned stores). people who collects oversized card would love to collect it but other than that, i don't think it will be in a big demand.

that said, i stand by my statement about Regionals.
