Before getting into the previews this week, I would like to make a quick announcement regarding the format for the Path of the Master main event. Just to make sure that there is no confusion about the format for Path of the Master, it will be Block 3 Format and Set 12 will be legal for this tournament. We are excited and confident that players will enjoy playing with the entire Block 3 card pool at this great event.

However, this does not mean that this is the only tournament going on during that weekend! We are planning on having a wide variety of side events, depending on player interest. These possible side events include Legacy, Sealed Deck, and Set 12 only tournaments. I hope many of you fans are looking forward to this amazing weekend!

Now, on to the previews!

This week, instead of concentrating on the new mechanics, I decided that it might be better to give you guys a look at some simple, straightforward, and solid attacks. One of the main things I really like about Set 12 is that it fills in many gaps that I felt were present in the format for Block 3 while simultaneously introducing new concepts into the game for both veterans and beginners to enjoy.

One such gap that needed to be filled was statistically-powerful, well-rounded attacks. By well-rounded, I mean attacks that would not be classified by most as finishers on their own, but at the same time, nicely fill that need for attacks that are above average damage. The two attacks that I want to highlight today are Hammer Uppercut and Midnight Launcher.

Hammer Uppercut is simple, brutal, and elegant. Honestly, there is not much to say about an attack that has a high base damage and also has a little added versatility to it. The enhance ability will make this attack an excellent answer for most annoying characters that you do not want to deal with during your turn. This attack also works as an excellent lead off for any attack string that you want to throw at your opponent during your turn. If your character has Death or Fire, might I recommend the next card below?

Midnight Launcher is an excellent follow-up attack that will make your opponent second guess focusing all of their defenses against your first attack. Between the low difficulty and the high damage output, this attack is a sure-fire threat that your opponent will definitely have to watch out for! To add to the pressure your opponent will be facing, the attack’s enhance ability denies your opponent from using any defensive actions during this Enhance Phase.

I hope you guys enjoyed these previews and are looking forward to some more soon!
