that looks awesome. i love me some alternate art cards.

Yeah, alternate cards sound cool. The TO program I'm hoping is similar to programs I'm used to in the minis community where people can act as sort of volunteer company reps to promote the game. I'd definitely sign up for that.

Not sure on the player ranking, those usually rely on people playing a variety of widely distributed opponents to be able to get reasonably accurate numbers and we're just not there.

But, everything else sounds really cool.
