Friday Update – Tender Embrace

Welcome to a round up of the week. Merry Melee Perfect 10 returns, we are changing how we run the CCS, and more:

As we mentioned earlier this week, moving forward the CCS will be a single day event with the following pay structure:

1st Place: 200,000 Platinum and the Cosmic Crown Showdown Animated Sleeve

2nd Place: 100,000 Platinum

3rd-4th Place: 50,000 Platinum

5th-8th Place: 25,000 Platinum

9th-16th Place: 25 boosters from the current set

17th-32nd Place: 10 boosters from the current set

33rd-128th Place: 5 boosters from the current set

This will ensure we have a smooth tournament experience, and this will also make joining the CCS more manageable for those on a tighter schedule.

Merry Melee Rotation

Are you ready for some more Merry Melee excitement? In Perfect 10, we ask you to build a deck of perfect beauty. Not only does your deck need to have only one copy of each named card, but your plays each turn need to be flawless as well. This is because while each player gets to start the game with 10 resource points and 5 of each threshold, you may only play one card per turn. Better make it count!

Merry Melee Perfect 10

Format: Standard Constructed, Singleton, Only 1 Card Per Turn

Cost: Free!

Length: Gauntlet (5 wins / 3 losses)

Match: Best of one

Prizes:

3 Wins – Random Standard Rare

4 Wins – Current Set Booster Pack

5 Wins – Current Set Booster Pack and Random Standard Rare

With this exciting mode, we’re also rewarding the best architects among you. Claim victory in a total of 10 games across our Perfect 10 events to nab a new, gorgeously animated sleeve! Check it out below:

Perfect 10 is live now and will run for 1 week (ending Friday 1/31 at 10am PT). It will be a while before you get another shot at this runway, so put on those mad scientist caps and be the architect of your opponent’s demise today!
