Yeah, I really, really liked Haruka. I played her in the first tourney at Blizzcon. This weekend when I get some time, I'll take pictures and scan stuff. =D

Yah William, I'm a TO at my game store in Berkeley and I'm totally stoked about running TONS of minis events. I just spoke on the phone with UDE about the possibility of running a midnight release on the night of monday/tuesday morning nov. 11, so we'll see if that pans out. I had all these questions in the other thread about release events... http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/WOW/COMMUNITY/forums/thread/1482162.aspx ... If you've got any more ideas, please post!!!

Judy - I have been asking for about 1 month now for people to join my mailing list for when we do start events - i also email blasted my WOW TCG list to see who was interested. Give me a buzz in about a month and i will share any ideas or new event ideas i have or have tried with the Minis.

Now I'm gonna have to make up an all NElf squad, what do we have, Elendril, Loial and Moonshadow? Am I missing someone?

Nathressa Darkstrider. :) Drop in your opponent's zone with a Rogue w/Stealth, and get some Legendary sniper support on top of it?

My only question is whether for a third I want to bring Elendril, Moonshadow, or go out of the NElf choices and bring some fig to shore up a weakness. Right now I've been inching towards Elendril, just because I find "2 tick, INF range, 5 power attack that hits on 3+ and readies back on a Crit" very exciting.

It was great to see so many people enjoying Minis at the Convention - purchasing or playing in a event - everyone was excited like it was Christmas (or some other holiday that they like)!

I'm getting all my ducks in a row to start running events through Upper Deck with their Launch Kit and Regular monthly kits that should follow for the minis. Have you guys done any preparation as a Tournament Organizer, Store Owner, or player to get ready or plan for events to happen in your store?

Make sure you store is ordering the kits - it will help bring more players into the store you play at - more people to beat down! (friendly)...

If you are in the Orange County area (Huntington Beach) and would be interested in our Mini's Mailing list - email me WE@upperdeck.com

Best of Luck!

Can we get the stats of Haruka Skycaller? I don't have her's on my list.

Re: Christmas came early at Blizzcon

I pulled the following three packs between a starter and a sealed event.

Horde Pack

Haruka Skycaller - R

Mojo Shaper Ojo'mon - C

Ji'lan - C

Alliance Pack

Grumpherys - R

Victoria Jaton - C

Lorlai Risingmoon - C

Monster Pack

Frostsaber Prowler - C

Sunscale Scytheclaw - C

Storm Rager - R

From what we saw and heard at Blizzcon, the distribution is apparently 'Random Common from faction, Random Rare from faction, Random Common from faction or Random Epic from faction'

The Epic replaces the second Common, so your pack will either be C-R-C or C-R-E.

Ah. Thanks for the correction, Larry.

Re: Blizzcon--which judge were you? I was the asian girl crying about needing a Tyrande who kept having to call you guys over because my opponents had judges who'd ruled erroneously about line of sight in their previous matches. Haha.

I had a lot of fun playing the minis at Blizzcon =)

I was the heavyset judge with the gotee and glasses. Now that I've narrowed it down to about 10 judges... :P

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm really excited about the game too. :)

Every pack that had an Epic that I paid attention to at BlizzCon had 1C-1R-1E, and I believe this is to continue after launch.

As far as I know, the distribution was messed up only as far as faction was concerned; rarity shouldn't have been affected.

There was an article a while back that talked about rarity which said that epics should replace one of the commons. But, since it seems the distribution in general was a bit messed up for the Blizzcon packs, so I guess that may have been messed up as well.
