SWM's Virtual Set #25,"Conquest and Rebellion" with the 12 card mini set "Kenobi" and #26 " New Peridea Exiles" and the subset "Primary Operations Strikeforce". Each participant will receive 2 full sets of 30 cards and 42 cards, plus 2 mini sets of 6 cards and 12 cards and 2 random booster sheets, to make a 200pt team. The tourney will consist of 3-4 swiss rounds. GM will provide minis to borrow. Prize support will be provided by the convention for the top 2 participants. These 2 new sets are unbelievable and again continue to do what Wizards of the Coast couldn't do; make a more balanced game, and help the seldom used factions to actually be playable! Introducing many new SW expanded universe characters, Disney + Star Wars series characters, special abilities, Force powers, and cool commander effects, in which all factions are represented. With many new special abilities, Force powers, and characters never done yet in SWM, there are many new elements to keep our beloved game new, fresh, and super fun. You do not want to miss out on playing in a tourney with these exciting new sets!

Characters that have been defeated will be unavailalble to them in subsequent rounds. Winner will be the player that remains at the end, with minis that are undefeated in battle.
