Heroscape Tournament: Monsters & Magic!
Mixing the sibling games together! As always, anybody is welcome to play with us, we are a relaxed bunch, always willing to help newcomers learn!
Format:
-Pre-built 350 point armies, 12 figure limit, destroy the opponent! 200 points of your army must consist of units that fit at least one of these two categories:
*Large/Huge size
*From Arena of the Planeswalkers
-Figures allowed: Official Heroscape (except Marvel) and official Arena of the Planeswalkers units. See spoiler for banned figures and other rules.
*Banlist: Sorin of the Eternal Thirst, Path Wardens, Avacyn On Bloodied Wings, Major Q9, Nilfheim, Braxas, Grimnak, Deathreavers, Raelin (RotV)
*Max of 1 Planeswalker per army while you are army building, but keep in mind you are not required to have a Planeswalker in your army. Taking temporary or permanent control of an opponent’s Planeswalker is allowed as long as you don’t already have that same unit alive in your army.
-40 minute battles, 3 battles, Swiss(-ish) system, additional details in spoiler:
Loaner armies I'm providing:
I don't think I've broken my own army building rules...
Creep
Liliana Vess – 125
Ghoul Vanguard - 100
Fen Hydra – 120
345 points, 3 figures. 345 points of AotP or large/huge figures.
Greenroller
Charos - 210
Greenscales x2 - 120
Marcu - 20
350 points, 8 figures. 210 points of AotP or large/huge figures
Ghost Recon
Jace Beleren, Mindmage - 140
Illusionary Projections – 65
Phantom Knights x2 – 140
345 points, 10 figures. 205 points of AotP or large/huge figures.
White Hot
Chandra Nalaar – 165
Flamewing Phoenixes - 35
Finn the Viking Champion – 80
Knights of Weston x1 – 70
350 points, 9 figures. 200 points of AotP or large/huge figures.
R.A.W. (Robot, Aliens, Werewolf)
Arlinn Kord – 140
Zetacron – 60
Marro Dividers x2 - 100
Marro Warriors – 50
350 points, 12 figures. 200 points of AotP or large/huge figures.
Monster Mash
Major Q10 - 150
Eldrazi Ruiner - 150
Me-Burq-Sa – 50
350 points, 3 figures. 350 points of AotP or large/huge figures.
Stompy-Shotty
Tor-Kul-Na – 220
Marrden Nagrubs x2 – 60
Johnny Shotgun Sullivan – 65
345 points, 8 figures. 220 points of AotP or large/huge figures.
Additional rules & clarifications:
1. AotP spell cards and creature summoning will NOT be used. Everything is going to be tweaked to follow Heroscape rules more closely.
*Planeswalkers are considered 200 points less expensive than their card-listed cost.
*ALL AotP figures will start the game in respective players’ start zones.
*You may mix and match any color combinations of AotP units in your army. We are not enforcing any color alignment rules in army building.
*You may use AotP squads/heroes without having a Planeswalker in your army.
*Order Markers will be used for ALL turn management. Putting an order marker on a Planeswalker means that you must take that turn with the Planeswalker. AotP Planeswalker “flex-turns” to take a turn with a different squad/hero of choice will not be allowed here.
2. AotP unit abilities that reference spells/sorceries, deck/drawing/discarding, and summoning/unsummoning will not be allowed to activate in play. The units are not banned, though.
This includes (but is not limited to) abilities such as:
*Chandra’s Super Heated
*Ob Nixilis’ At Any Price
*Jace, Investigator’s Search For Answers and Wealth Of Knowledge
*Jace Beleren’s Focused Thoughts
*Blazing Firecats’ Haste
*Avacynian Inquisitors’ In Avacyn’s Name
*Lantern Geists’ Flicker and Eerie Observation
3. The following pairs of terms are allowed to be used interchangeably (for abilities, glyphs, etc.) since they are functionally the same for AotP/Heroscape:
-Power = Attack
-Toughness = Defense
-Crossed Weapon = Skull
-“Crown” symbol on AotP squads/heroes = Unique squads and heroes
4. Planeswalkers are considered to be Planeswalkers and Unique Heroes, but they are not creatures. All Heroscape figures are considered creatures alongside their usual classifications (common, unique, hero, etc.)
5. Heroscape and AotP abilities can “cross-activate” onto any eligible figures if the conditions for those abilities are met.
*Example 1: If Arlinn, Moon-Blessed deals combat damage in a turn, the player may use her Howl ability to place a +1 attack counter on the Tarn Viking Warriors to increase the vikings’ attack.
*Example 2: When Eldgrim the Viking Champion is destroyed, the player may use his Warrior’s Swiftness Spirit to place his figure on the Elf Rangers to increase their normal move.
*In general, we are taking the rules and cards as literally as possible.
Some weird rules clarifications, to give you an idea:
*Zombies of Morindan are Undead Savages, and not “Zombies” for effects such as Liliana Vess’ Zombie Toughness, or Ghoul Vanguard’s Shambling Ranks of the Dead.
*Gideon Jura’s Counter Strike will work against any adjacent attackers, including special attacks, since his card makes no distinction.
*Red creatures/Planeswalkers are not lava resistant, even if they breathe fire.
*Heroscape units are considered colorless for any AotP-borne abilities. AotP units have no general (Jandar, Utgar, etc.) for any Heroscape-borne abilities.
Any rules questions, feel free to ask me ahead of time. Any rules conflicts during the tournament will be decided by me, and if I am unsure, the player with the highest D20 roll will decide for me.
Where:
Casual Dragon Games, located at 136 Walnut St, Lockport, NY 14094
When:
June 29th from 5:30 - 8:30 PM. I'd prefer for players to show up around 5:15-5:20 to get settled in. And hopefully this time I don't forget to bring my figures.
How much?
$2 per player. All collected money will be used as prizes - store credit/gift cards. Tournament winner gets 60% of pool, second place gets 40%.
Maps/Glyphs:
Jandar's Summoning Circle by @Flash_19
Download
Required sets:RotV, BftU, FotA
Glyphs: Valda (Move +2) and AotP Glyph of Healing (will heal one wound from the controlling figure each time the figure's controller reveals a numbered OM, regardless of if the figure on the glyph is taking the turn)
----------------------------------
Shadow Crypt by @quozl
Appears to require: 1 AotP:SoI and 1 BftU. We will use these cards and associated rules for the Cryptoliths, and they will be destructible objects. Additionally, all weird spaces will be treated as BftU shadow spaces.
Glyphs: None
----------------------------------
Ruined City by @Leaf_It
Download
Required sets:2 Marvel, FotA (the upper level of the ruins will not be used, but we will use the destructible object walls/cards/rules for the ruins)

Solitary:
Required sets: 1 AotP set #1, 1 VW, 1 RotV, + one more pair of RotV ruins, and two more 24 hex rock pieces.

Maybe:
- +6 friends of brandonwiker
-You?
Feel free to PM me or post in this thread with any questions or comments! I can also be contacted at BuffaloHeroscape@gmail.com. I plan on taking pictures of games in progress as I get a chance, and I will definitely post battle report on Heroscapers, and likely on FB as well.

Spoiler Alert!
*For games that go to time, players finish out their in-game round, and use partial card scoring to determine the winner (if you have 3 wounds on a 6 life hero, that hero is worth half of their point cost. If 2 out of 3 squad members are destroyed, that squad is worth one-third of their point cost.)
*The player with the most wins takes the cake, point differential will be used as secondary measure of winning, as necessary. Players will be pinned against each other in each round based on these scoring measures; the leader of the round fights whoever is in second, while third fights whoever is in fourth, etc. We will try to avoid rematches where possible.
