Introducing the Spring and Summer 2020 Featured Formats for Vs. System® 2PCG®!
In 2018, we announced a new era for Vs. System® 2PCG® – Featured Formats (read that article here). That announcement has brought constant change in the meta as well as incredible deck builds from the player base. Today, we are excited to announce the next two Featured Formats – for the Spring and Summer 2020 Seasons – which will last through September 2020. All tournaments sanctioned by Upper Deck will use these formats, including the Regional and Championship events at:
- Fantasium Comics and Games (Federal Way, WA) – April
- Paper games (Bartlesville, OK) – June
- Gen Con (Indianapolis, IN) – August
- Emerald City Comics, Games, and Toys (Tampa, FL) – September
Featured Format #7: Good vs. Evil
Let’s settle the age-old question once and for all.
Season: Spring 2020
Dates: April 1st 2020 through June 31st 2020
Rules: Choose a main character that has either Good printed team affiliations at each of its levels or Evil printed team affiliations at each of its levels.
If you chose Good, you can’t include any cards with an Evil printed team affiliation in your deck (or as any of your cards that start outside the game).
If you chose Evil, you can’t include any cards with a Good printed team affiliation in your deck (or as any of your cards that start outside the game).
Equipment, Locations, Plot Twists, and Supporting Characters without printed team affiliations can be in Good decks or Evil decks.
All other standard deck building rules apply (such as Photographic and Illustrated Universe rules).
