Friday Update – Core Engagement

Welcome to a round up of the week. Merry Melee Corinth vs Corinth returns and more:

Our current season will soon end, so be sure to get your last few games in! The capstone tournament for this season will take place on March 21st, so save the date, start your brews, and secure your spot among the stars.

For everyone else, there will be all new cosmetics to reward your sweat, blood, and tears. Let’s creep on over and take a look at what’s coming:

Is your resolution undying enough to grab them all? Sacrifice your opponents on the altar of these fabulous prizes.

Merry Melee Rotation

Are you ready to bring the pain with a deck that you build as you fight your opponent? Can you tighten the screws and outwit their pain-filled plays? Get ready for the original Merry Melee mode – Corinth vs Corinth returns!

In this mode you don’t select a deck and you don’t select a champion. Instead, you are given a predetermined deck of 20 resources (4 copies of each standard shard – [BLOOD] [WILD] [DIAMOND] [RUBY] [SAPPHIRE] ), and the champion Corinth the Iconoclast.

Shifted Paradigm – Skip your draw phase. At the end of your turn, put your crypt and hand into your deck, then draw four cards.

You will then use her powers to create and choose cards—essentially building your deck on the fly. Only careful choices, a bit of luck, and quick thinking will grant victory over your opponents.

The Corinth vs Corinth mode will be available via an on-demand, gauntlet queue for the duration of this event. The gauntlet uses a best of one match system and will continue until you have 5 wins or 3 losses, whichever comes first. At the end of your gauntlet, players will receive a payout based on their record.
