Team Up to Battle for Great Prizes!

June 17, 2008

 

North Las Vegas, NV - On Saturday, June 28, grab a friend and head to your local hobby store! Upper Deck Entertainment (UDE) announced the World of Warcraft^® Trading Card Game (TCG) Ogre Smash & Bash. Following in the footsteps of the hugely successful Spectral Safari tournament, the Ogre Smash & Bash, a one-day team event, will be hosted by hobby stores throughout North America, and each winning team will receive two Ogre Suit Loot™ card item codes! Visit WoWTCG.com/Smash&Bash for the latest information on tour dates and locations.

 

World of Warcraft TCG Loot™ cards, which can only be found through the TCG, give players access to special World of Warcraft massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) in-game items.

 

“The Spectral Safari was a great event for both hobby stores and players,” said Russell Pippin, Marketing Events Specialist at Upper Deck. “The Ogre Smash & Bash takes organized play events to another level by introducing casual team competition. Because each team jointly plays with two different decks, this event is a perfect opportunity for current players to introduce their friends to the World of Warcraft TCG.”

 

The Ogre Smash & Bash will be team sealed-pack format. This means that each team will get eight sealed packs: four sealed packs from each of the two most recent World of Warcraft TCG sets, March of the Legion™ and Servants of the Betrayer™, with which to build two decks. Each team, regardless of their final standing, gets to keep their new decks! In addition to Loot for each winning team, every Ogre Smash & Bash participant will receive a Fireworks Trinket, an in-game World of Warcraft item code regularly available only via the Upper Deck World of Warcraft TCG points program.
