Blood of Gladiators Sealed

A heads up for those participating in tomorrows BoG Sealed event.

How the format works.
Each player cracks open his five boosters then builds a deck of thirty cards or more from that card pool. To accompany these cards he/she can use any of the heroes from the BoG expansion (these cards are provided).

New Keywords:
Hardiness: (If this ally would be dealt damage, prevent 1 of it)
Arcane Torrent: (When this ally enters play, target opposing card in play loses and can’t have powers this turn)

Arena Cards:
A number of Allies and Quests have the type ‘arena’. Other cards will then have effects that key off the number of arena cards in play, your side of the field etc. In a sealed environment these cards are going to be relevant, big time, plus keep an eye out for the uncommon location Gurubashi Arena, which makes an ally an arena ally for the turn.

I don’t know if hardiness will play a big part in sealed. The allies that have it tend to be underpowered for cost, but it may be big against decks that ‘nibble’ like totem decks or black ice decks in constructed (sorry James and Dave). Arcane Torrent is a great keyword with regards shutting down ongoings or in some cases (as there are instant allies with this effect) responding to a cards activation.
As with all sealed events(compared to constructed),  WoW decks in this format will lean towards being ally heavy as you are darn lucky if you get a load of abilities belonging to the same class.

Hope all enjoy the event tomorrow. £15 entry for five boosters, with a guarantee of prizes  (a number of participation EA’s in addition to the prize EA’s, deckboxes and Shirt) is good value.
