COLLECTION RESURRECTION 4

PSST: If you’re not up-to-date with our Resurrection shenanigans, check today’s earlier News post from the home screen! Here’s a look at the Collection Resurrection and Card Upgrade! packs, available in store all week.

Collection Resurrection

There’s a bit of a shake-up in the Collection Resurrection packs as we go into the second half of the Season… Don’t worry though, we think you’ll like it. It’s finally time to introduce some Basic cards into the mix - and as such, you can pick up FOUR of them today, totally FREE in the store.

Today’s FREE offerings are trans activist Christine Jorgensen, prominent leader of the Haitian Revolution Toussaint Louverture and political activist Bayard Rustin for Shake up the System and Game Economist for the Game Dev! collection. We also have a couple of Money, Money, Money cards and a whole lot of long-awaited Turbulent Tudors (including Thomas Cromwell!) in the usual Collection Resurrection pack!

Card Upgrade!

This writer is personally a particular fan of this Card Upgrade! pack, with Lost Treasures, Grand Designs (finally!), Aztec Mythology, Molluscs, Worms and Waterbugs and Beautiful Butterflies all featuring. There is some serious nostalgia there and some seriously cool collections that need some attention. We love the massive Fender Stratocaster buff and the power coming to Aztec Mythology through Xochipilli, Tlaloc, Amaranth and Nanahuatzin.

There’s just 10 of the 16 cards in today’s Card Upgrade! Pack, featuring all Limited Epics and Limited Legendaries mentioned below!
