Hi Leute,
gerade erreichte mich eine E Mail von Kevin Tew.. Demnach werden nach TP8 sogenannte Champion Packs als Turnierpreise eingeführt (mit besseren Karten und vielgespielten Commons/Rares als Holo)
Yeahh wir wurden erhört

Dear Judges,
Some of you may have heard about the upcoming Champion Packs. I want all of you to have the info in this email, because a lot of you judge tournaments at stores where Tournament Packs are currently given away as prizes, so this will affect you.
We’ve been talking to a lot of judges, players, and stores about what they’d like to see regarding tournament prizes. The Champion Packs are the result. Most people said they wanted tournament-level cards to ramp up their tourney decks. They also wanted foil variants of some of the most popular cards that have never been available as a foil. (And of course if we sprinkle in a few new cards, that makes everyone happy.)
The Champion Packs will be coming out later this year. The cards in the Champion Pack were pulled from some of the top decks we’ve seen at tournaments lately. This includes foil (Super-Rare) versions of some popular cards like Book of Moon and Night Assailant. The first Champion Pack also includes a brand new ultra-rare card: Satellite Cannon.
Each Champion Pack has 1 rare card (or super-rare, or ultra-rare). You won’t see any “all common” packs. Also, the rarity on the Champion Packs is very user-friendly. A Champion Pack ultra-rare is more than twice as easy to get as an old Tournament Pack ultra-rare.
The Tournament Packs are being retired after TP8. The Champion Packs are just better. But like the Tournament Packs, they’re intended for use as prizes exclusive to tournament stores.
Finally, despite an ugly rumor you might have heard, the Champion Packs are NOT just for the U.S.A. They’ll be available everywhere just like our other products.
