Buffy the Vampire Slayer CCG Sealed Deck Tournament:

This tournament is great for new players. There will be a $15 entry fee which covers the cost of one starter deck and 4 booster packs. Using only those cards, each player will construct their deck.

Bring your best constructed Slayer or Vampire deck! This free tournament will use Swiss style pairings to determine a winner, and the number of rounds depends on the number of participants. Prizes will include exclusive Buffy Bucks, promos, and booster packs.

Dragon Ball Z CCG Regional Tournament:

This constructed deck tournament will have an entry fee of $15 dollars and players can once again expect a new collection of Regional level participation promo cards and packs from the most recent expansion. All US Regionals will consist of 6 Rounds of Swiss and a cut to the Top 16 players, who will then play in a single elimination Play-off. All Play-off games will be single game matches, except the final pairing, which will be best of 3 games.

Similar to last year, each Regional will have a CASH prize structure were: First place wins $250, Second place wins $100, Third and Fourth place win $50 each. And just like last year, winner's will receive foil versions of their winning decks! It's back by popular demand!

Finally, US Regional winners will also receive a 1 game Win at the end of Day 1 at the World Championship event at Gen Con in July. So, everyone will play throughout the day as normal, but at the end of the day – Regional winners will have one of their Lost games counted as a Win! Australian and Canadian Regionals will only count as qualifier to each country’s National Championship.

Dragon Ball Z CCG Tuff Enuff Tournament.

This will be a free tournament played with Tuff Enuff rules (see www.dbzcardgame.com/pdfs/DBZTournamentGuide.pdf for specifics). The number of Swiss rounds and Top X single elimination playoffs will depend on the number of players attending the tournament.

Sabertooth Games Premiers, Demos and Tournaments:

War Cry Premier, Demos and Tournaments:

We are proud to announce that War Cry, Sabertooth’s new CCG based in the Warhammer Fantasy Setting, will be premiering at I-CON 22. We will be hosting demos and tournaments of this brand new game.

In the WarCry game, players take command of vast armies that battle for domination and victory across a war-torn world. Deploying whole units and utilizing battlefield tactics from their decks, their decisions will decide the fate of kingdoms-as opposing forces engage in massive warfare. "Unlike many CCGs," says Luke Peterschmidt, co-designer for Sabertooth's latest game, "WarCry really puts the player in control. We built a game mechanic that centers around strategic choices, not random occurrences."

" An army of thousands in a 60 card deck."
