The last couple months of Shadow Era free play demonstrations is finally coming to the event that we have been talking about. A FREE draft tournament. You read correctly. F-R-E-E for anyone that wishes to participate in this unique style draft for Shadow Era. With cards supplied directly from Wulven Games this open tournament is for all ages. The Battle Standard wants to show it’s support and appreciation by hosting this new game and event. All participants will walk away free cards to get you started and the first eight players to register/show-up will receive free, themed card sleeves!
We are looking for all skill levels with the expectation that most participants will be new to the game. The event allows for a couple of hours to consult any veteran players along with Shadow Era Champion, David LaBerge! That’s plenty of time to get the rules and the mechanics of the game before starting the competition. There will be demo decks available alongside a digital station to help you get a jump start on how to play the game!
To explain how a “Meltdown” style draft works please read the next couple paragraphs below…
-Meltdown is Shadow Era’s unique limited format that was both named and created by Kyle Poole himself! During a meltdown game players are provided 4 booster packs which are NOT drafted! Instead, remove the Redemption codes and hero cards (including Foil heroes) from the packs. The remaining cards will then be used to make the best 30 card deck (minimum) possible, regardless of Class or Faction restrictions.
Lastly, players must then pick a hero from one of the 4 heroes they got in their booster packs (plus any applicable foil heroes pulled). Players are not allowed to exchange heroes or bring their own heroes; you must choose one of the heroes you got in one of your packs. For example, you can have a Gravebone using Smite on his enemies or a Boris conjuring Tidal Wave!-
Now to help the learning curve the first 30-45 minutes after the learning phase is completed will be used to help you put together these meltdown decks for the tournament. You can ask champion player, David LaBerge, and your peers for tips and recommendations. Card trading will be permitted in order to help build the best deck suited for you. Just remember from the description above, NO HERO TRADING! Depending on attendance, this draft will be single elimination. If the turn out is less, we will have a losers bracket and do a double elimination.
This tournament is an opportunity to build a community around a new game that has beautiful artwork, tested rules, and exciting game play. Anyone fond of the World of Warcraft card game will see many similarities with Shadow Era. The staff at TBS that have played the game including owner, Jared Brodeur. Many have bought their starter decks already!
So again… Free event, Free prizes and FREE cards for all participants!
