THE BARRACKS NEWSLETTER | Issue 1

Recently Images have

been leaked for the upcoming

set: Theros. This set is to be

released after the release of the

new M14 set to start off the new

block.

There have been many

speculations of the direction in

which Wizards wants to move the

tempo of gameplay. Slow it downor speed it up? Most players

believe that Wizards is looking to

slow it down. Is Theros the set in

which this begins?

I

personally

believe in

this set we

will see

Wizards go

back tobasics. The

whole

Innastrad

block

featured

powerful

and

devastating

cards that

we have not seen since the

Eldrazi. If they do not slow downthe gameplay and simplify

gameplay I believe things could

get out of hand very quickly.

WHATS NEXT?

What could be after Theros?

Speculations or suggestions fo

future sets.

This is a section we will

feature every issue where we will

field questions, discuss any

questions or comments, or even

discuss strategy.

Any questions or

comments may be submitted

(preferably in writing) to either

Ken or myself, at the shop or

online.

Amass the armies!elect your army and prepare for battle!

et the field!osition your army and prepare to dominate!

Warhammer is a miniatures gamein which one opponent looks to

eliminate the other through the

destruction of their army.

Set in the future, this game offers

both sci-fi and fantasy gaming

appeal.Executed through the use

of miniatures, gameplay may

happen anywhere. This game also

allows for social interaction and

understanding. The game fosterscommunication skills, team

building experience, and

creativity.

There is also a certain level of

pride that can be felt with the

preparation of your army.

Warhammer pieces are sold

unpainted so each player may

customize their armys own color

scheme.

This level of creativity also

expands beyond the pieces and

on to the battlefield. While you

may play anywhere, even a blank

tabletop, many players also like

to create their own terrain. This

enables you to customize the

battle zone and make it your own!

This can also help to make sure

that you never fight the samebattle twice!

If you find yourself interested,

The Barracks offers plenty of

Warhammer merchandise. Also,

we often offer games workshops

to demonstrate this and other

gaming formats.

In this section every month we

will discuss drafting certain cards

and other pointers that may help

you out in a Magic draft

tournament.

The first card we will discuss is

Madcap Skills. Not only is the

CMC low at 2, but this card also

beefs up any creatures offense

with the +3/+0. Oh, and by the

way also cant be blocked except

by two or more creatures, who

would want that? An excellent

complement card for any draftdeck running red, do not be

surprised if it is one of the first

commons to be drafted.

The second card we will discuss is

Guardian of the Gateless. You will

often find this to be one of the

first cards drafted and with good

reason. This creatures second

ability makes it a definite game

changer, often enabling you tosurvive at least one more turn. As

for offense the Flying ability is

often very advantageous in the

draft format, often over-looked,

and not as commonly played.

This creatures third ability could

also be extremely useful in taking

out a whole swarm of tokens.

Our third card we will discuss is

Mugging. A one drop red card that

has many uses. You can deal the 2

damage to target creature to

remove a pesky, little creature or

use it to make a vicious defender

useless, either way it usually

means a hurting is on the way forthe other player.
