Organized Play
« on: September 13, 2012, 10:51:36 AM »
Hey all you Mage Warriors!

We're going to be unveiling our plans for Organized Play very soon, so stay tuned! We'll also be releasing Organized Play Kits for retailers, so go to your local game or hobby store and tell them that you want to play in the Mage Wars organized play events and that they should order a kit!

There will be prizes, new spells, and an awesome unfolding story that you will be a part of! Be sure to get in on the ground floor!

More updates to come, so keep an eye on this thread!

The mentioned promo cards make me worried. What about people that have no access to organized play? I don't think there will be any in Hungary for example.

How long till you will make them available for everyone?

Promo cards don't worry me at all.  This game is so well written and playtested that I can't imigine them allowing promos to ruin the game.

i seem to remember reading somewhere that promo cards would be special versions of existing cards from the starter box, just different artwork is about it i suppose, however the game play of the card wont change

i personaly am glad they are not giving out unique promo cards.  i believe thier philosophy of everyone having access to all the cards is a good one.  although previews of the next set would be a cool idea, if it was tested up already and everything.

it would be interesting if the promo cards were of soon to come spells, however the new set that the promo card comes in would have to be fully tested so as to balance the promo out with the new stuff....could have a super special style promo and have it so that there's a competition for mage wars art work and the mage wars team could choose the best to made into the promo...maybe...???

p.s. I'm pants at awesome art, so there's no hope for me there XD

Thanks for all the feedback! Here is the current plan:

The promo cards released will be new cards, however they will be released in the future to the general populace. Occasionally we will also do alternate art cards as well for prizes, participation, etc.

In this way the cards you win are available only to those who play, for a certain amount of time, as they eventually come out in future sets.

I could call the new cards preview cards not unique cards. When I last talked to the MW team these were planned to be no further than one expansion away. That is to say everybody will be able to get them when the set comes out.
