Tournament Starter Bundles
February 18, 2022On the heels of our recent World Championships, we know that many players are eager to hop onto the ladder and start their own quest to qualify for the 2022 World Championships and get a piece of the $100,000 prize pool for this year’s organized play. But building decks can be daunting, and its always useful to have more Shiftstone on hand to help change your existing decks, or build a new one altogether.
With that said, we at Dire Wolf Digital are excited to announce a new product for Eternal–The Tournament Starter Bundle. This is a simple, straightforward offering with a ready-to-play Expedition deck, an exclusive alt-art card previously only available in the Hour of Glass campaign, and Shiftstone to help add to your collection.
There are three decks available for purchase, Stonescar Aggro, Hooru Midrange, and Xenan Control. Each deck is geared towards a different strategy–quick beatdown, midrange value, or late-game control–so players can pick the style that suits them best. Each deck is built around a marquee staple from Hour of Glass, updated with cool alt-art only available in this product. Since these cards were previously only available by purchasing the micro-campaign, this is an easy way to get your hands on some of Expedition’s most important cards, and are valuable additions to your collection as you go about building decks on your own.
The Tournament Starter Bundle also includes 6,400 Shiftstone, or enough to craft eight Rares or two Legendary cards, or some sweet premiums if that’s your thing. In addition, each deck contains a number of high-rarity Expedition staples, either from recent sets or the current Eternal Draft Pack. These cards are a great foundation for any player, and can be converted into additional Shiftstone as well. While this product is geared towards new players, between the exclusive alt-arts, Shiftstone, and high-rarity staples we believe this will be attractive to many veteran players as well.
Stonescar Aggro with Alt-Art League Explorer
Stonescar Aggro - Tournament Starter Bundle 75 cards
If you like hitting fast and hard, look no further than the Stonescar Aggro deck. League Explorer joins D'angolo Houndmaster, Battlefront Dasher, and The Rat King to apply pressure to your opponent, while Voprex's Choice and Cremate help take down larger units.
Hooru Midrange with Alt-Art Steyer’s Eyes
Hooru Midrange - Tournament Starter Bundle 75 cards
Hooru Midrange provides a ton of flexibility and variety, capable of playing a fast or slow game depending on the opponent. Steyer's Eyes, Plunk Wumpkin, and Velise, Bear Rider are among the best units at playing a diverse, value-oriented game, while Hojan, Beloved Son, Nostrix, Grand Seer, and Stormhalt Plating help overpower games that have slowed down.
Xenan Control with Alt-Art Azindel, Mastermind
Xenan Control - Tournament Starter Bundle 75 cards
Xenan Control looks to grind the opponent down with card advantage, removal, and powerful threats, highlighted by Azindel, Mastermind. Waxing Moon provides a steady stream of cards along with powerful Deadly combos with units like Twisted Farmer and Wingbrewer, while Saloon Massacre plays cleanup duty against decks built around smaller units.
The Tournament Starter Bundles go on sale February 18th for 2,000 Gems, and will be available only for a limited time. Players may purchase one copy of each starter bundle.
The first Eternal Open for our 2022 Organized Play season runs March 25th-27th and will be Expedition, so grab yourself a Tournament Starter Bundle (or three!) and head on over to the queues.
