Cards & Boards

Okay Magic: the Gathering and World of Warcraft TCG fans, listen up!

The decklist for the latest Magic product, the Duel Decks: Venser vs Koth, is now completely demystified and up online! Wizards.com has spoiled the product’s deck lists, here.

As the name would suggest, Venser vs Koth has two decks, each containing a copy of the aforementioned planeswalkers.

Perfect for some friendly and fun Magic action straight up, these preconstructed decks may not exactly be tournament-worthy, but ought to provide plenty of fun!

Don’t know about you, but I do love decks that are pure fun, very casual and thus, make for some random and exciting games.

Good deal for beginners and experienced Magic players alike, Venser vs Koth is actually perfect for further tweaks and customization. Just add more copies of the cards already in, or heck, swap in other cards! That’s why it’s a trading card game yo!

While we’re on the subject of TCGs with preconstructed decks, WoW TCG also announced its Champion Decks recently.

And looks like the contents of the Hunter deck, is now online for everyone’s consumption!  (Albeit this is off a third-party reviewer.) Kudos to gloriousaspect.com for this awesome read.

Now, I’m eagerly awaiting what the other Champion Decks have. Can’t wait!

I may love Blood Bowl: Team Manager Card Game (by Fantasy Flight Games) for now, but I’m also steadily reacquainting myself with my favorite TCG (trading card game), World of Warcraft (or WoW in short).

Bizarrely, I’m going real easy on the customization bit – that is, I’m trying to not mix around the cards between my decks too much – but, rather, am letting my decks stay consistent, with a set bunch of cards.

Well, looks like the upcoming Champion Decks product is right up your alley, if you’re looking for instantly playable decks, straight out of the box. There will be five decks, one each for Mage, Hunter, Warrior, Shaman and Druid.

Roughly divided into Heroic or Monster, the decks will feature some of the more notable WoW universe heroes and villains. The confirmed lineup are Jaina Proudmoore (Human Mage), Lady Sylvanas Windrunner (Undead Hunter), Hogger (the Gnoll), Murkdeep (the Murloc Shaman) and Elderlimb (the Treefolk Druid).

Check out the link above for some card names already hinted, per deck. Some old classics and hopefully heavy hitters there. Slated for a late March 2012 release, stay tuned on more news about its eventual local availability!
