Quarter Pounder with (Cinco de) Mayo

Paul

Let’s be clear first of all: Dia de la Independencia - Mexican Independence Day - is on September 16th. That’s the celebration of more historic import here. 

Nonetheless we’re not going to pass up the opportunity to celebrate Cinco de Mayo - the Limited Legendary La China Poblana is available in a guaranteed pack for 100 gems now. It is not dissimilar to the recent release The Lovers - meaning it’s a strong and flexible addition to any low-to-medium energy deck.

Not enough? How’s about some guaranteed Science Limited Rares (or higher) - get them in the Chemical Reaction! Pack from 15:00 UTC.

And then for this week’s Quarter Pounder at 17:00 UTC we have… 

  • Six of Swords - the latest Tarot card gives a cheap 3/52... or even a 0/52... as long as you draw it on the first turn of a round.
  • Pannotia - this Rare from Land Before Time is best played quickly as its score deteriorates…
  • Menshen - if drawn on the first turn of the round this Chinese ‘door guardian’ reduces the Energy cost of all cards in hand this turn
  • Humorism - The Four Humors give four buffs (erm… one to your opponent) when you Draw, Keep, Play, and Return it. Oof. A nice way to kick off the brand new ‘Debunked!’ collection in Science.

And for those around at midnight UTC, Hogfish joins Fabulous Fish, for everyone building Hog decks. (There’s bound to be someone building a Hog deck, right?)
