Merry Melee – Corinth

Greetings Hexers! Today we would like to introduce a new event series we are calling the Merry Melee. This series is designed to bring you wacky, fun formats across the month that you can enjoy at your own pace while they are up. To test the waters for this event, we are introducing our new Corinth vs Corinth mode this Friday!

The Merry Melee Corinth mode is unlike the typical deckbuilding you are used to in the past. 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 the 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:

Merry Melee Corinth

Format: Immortal

Cost: 100 Platinum

Length: Gauntlet (5 wins / 3 losses)

Match: Best of one

Prizes:

3 Wins – Random Standard Rare

4 Wins – Current Set Booster Pack

In addition, winning a total of 10 games during this event will reward this gorgeous animated sleeve!



Our first queue will start Friday 4/27 at 10am Pacific and run until Monday 5/7 at 10am Pacific. You can join as many of these events as you like at any time during this period.

Please join us for this experiment as we play with more casual and wacky game modes. We will be listening and watching for community feedback as we grow this event, but the best way to see more of this kind of thing is to show us your support in the queues!

See you in the Battlegrounds~
