Hi there Gate Masters! We’ve been hard at work preparing for the final half of 2022. We’ve got a lot of news and changes that I am personally very excited for.
First off, we’ve got out fifth expansion getting released on August 30th. This booster set introduces the FINAL planet, Mars! With this last introduction, System Gate will enter a period of seeing no new planets. From the point of Iron Assault forward, the existing planets will be seeing new support and new archetypes. To this end, everyone at Speedrobo Games is buckling down to make sure that the BT05 meta is the most balanced, diverse, and competitive meta the game has seen yet.
In order to achieve this balance, we are releasing a wave of new tournament kits! Tournament Kit 7, 8, and 9 will be featuring all new promotional cards designed as “Emergency Support”. The design philosophy to these cards is to plug up support holes in planets that are missing crucial pieces. These cards won’t necessarily be featuring explosive new effects, or brand new boss cards. They exist to provide staple options to planets that lack them. The tournament kit cards are a way to get this support early and in foil. If you miss out on a tournament kit, you will be able to get the featured cards in future products.
Another note that I want players to be aware of is that the System Gate judges and I are bouncing around the idea of a ban list update on July first. There may be a change, or there may not be. I just don’t want this to come off as a surprise, so I’m letting y’all know about this consideration now.
The final exciting announcement we have is for our December product. The I.E. Guyer collection will feature classic cards from System Gate lore, tournament scene, and of course fan favorite art from I.E. Guyer. This product is a celebration of everything this fantastic story teller has contributed to System Gate. Many of the cards in this collection will be featuring new artwork drawn by I.E. Guyer.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support of System Gate!
