The gap between Thanksgiving and the holiday season is always a strange few weeks to get through. You’ve ramped up your holiday spirit and made ready for shopping, vacation, and snow, but that time hasn’t quite arrived yet. Luckily, there’s a Sneak Preview this weekend to help bridge that gap! You may need to wait a little longer to get that present you’ve been dreaming of, but free Extended Art cards, deck boxes, playmats, and t-shirts will be available at the Sneak Preview—not to mention your first chance to play with Legion of Super Heroes cards!
Everyone who participates in a Sneak Preview event will receive this Extended Art foil version of XS.
With all the cosmic going around in Legion of Super Heroes, she will certainly be a welcome addition to many decks.
Top finishers will also receive an Extended Art foil version of Brainiac 5.1.
Brainiac will be a staple in Legionnaires decks, and this is your chance to get your hands on one that has plenty of style.
In addition to Brainiac, top finishers will receive playmats, deck boxes, and t-shirts.
Vs. System Sneak Preview t-shirts have become a tradition, and this one featuring Mon-el ◊ Valor does not disappoint. The exclusive Sneak Preview playmats also seem to get better with each set, and the one you can pick up this weekend is no exception.
There will also be a pleasant surprise for those of you who are Sneak Preview veterans—the deck boxes given out this time around are plastic instead of tin. With a velcro flap, they won’t open as easily in your backpack, and they even come with an index board that features Legion of Super Heroes art. The design and material are a big upgrade in terms of portability and aesthetics, but you’ll have to go to a Sneak Preview to see what I mean.
As always, call your local tournament organizer beforehand, as availability of exclusive items may vary by region. You’ll also want to make sure you attend the first flight of the Sneak Preview in order to guarantee availability of participation items. Many items will also be given out as door prizes, so you don’t necessarily need to be the top player in the room to come home with cool stuff.
With the holidays only a few weeks away, treat yourself to a great Vs. System weekend. In addition to all the free exclusive items you can score, it’s the most fun you’ll have playing the game during the year. Sneak Previews come with the joy of opening new cards and playing with them for the first time, but more importantly you get to have a blast playing Vs. System with local players. What more could you ask for?
