HEX Update – Destiny Awaits

Tuesday! Tuesday! Tuesday!

Hi HEXers! We’re just a few days away from the launch of the Shattered Destiny expansion on Tuesday, December 9th! Today’s piece will prepare you for all the changes coming to HEX.

Tournaments

In Booster Draft, the new format will be Shattered Destiny, Shattered Destiny, Shards of Fate. Sealed Deck will ask for 4 packs of Shattered Destiny, 2 packs of Shards of Fate.

This is exciting as it puts more new cards into your deck and collection. It also lets you scope out the new cards and make decisions, knowing the Shards of Fate cards that can finish off your deck in pack three. Prizes will be a mix of both sets proportionally distributed in-line with the packs used. In plain-speak, that means if you use more Shattered Destiny packs than Shards of Fate packs to enter an event, you’ll typically get more Shattered Destiny packs than Shards of Fate packs in prizes.

In Constructed, Shattered Destiny will be instantly allowed into tournament play. Start planning your decks now. Prize packs will be all Shattered Destiny.

You’ll see these queues on Tuesday, but the Booster Draft and Sealed Deck events will be replaced by special all-Shattered Destiny queues for the Release Celebration weekend. The normal post-Shattered Destiny queues will return at the end of the Release Celebration.

Release Celebration – Friday, December 12th to Monday, December 15th

To mark the launch of Shattered Destiny, we are holding a Release Celebration weekend. Players will be able to obtain two exclusive alternate art cards from the new set available in special Release Celebration 8-player tournaments in both Booster Draft and Sealed Deck.

Participation Card: Darkspire Punisher Alternate Art

Prize Card: Filk Ape Alternate Art

These tournaments start that Friday at 10 AM Pacific [Worldclock] and end at 10 AM Pacific that Monday, so make sure to log in and take your shot at the prize!

Collector’s Tier Alternate Art Rewards

For Kickstarter supporters who backed at the Collector’s tier level, you’ll be receiving Genesis Pool Naiad and Guardian Angel alternate arts.

We’re also working on adding two more alternate art cards to round out the six total promised each year, and we’ll announce those sometime in the near future.

VIP Weekend Results

If you’re looking for inspiration or a solid base that can be enhanced by the new set, we’ve posted the undefeated Constructed decklists from last week’s VIP event. Take a look and join the discussion on how you feel about the metagame and what will be best come Tuesday!

More Dragons!

Last week, we featured Zakiir and his incredible powers. In the upcoming set, you’ll be able to play the sapphire dragon Zeedu as well.

This troop is different than the one we featured at Gen Con. He comes into play a turn earlier and requires 1 fewer threshold. His ability is much more straightforward, filling your hand with more gas to finish off the opponent.

That’s all for this week. Please leave any questions or comments in the forums linked below, and don’t forget to Follow us on Twitter, Like us on Facebook, Follow us on Twitch, and register on our forums.
