Recently Images have
been leaked for the upcoming
set: Theros. This set is to be
released after the release of the
new M14 set to start off the new
block.
There have been many
speculations of the direction in
which Wizards wants to move the
tempo of gameplay. Slow it downor speed it up? Most players
believe that Wizards is looking to
slow it down. Is Theros the set in
which this begins?
I
personally
believe in
this set we
will see
Wizards go
back tobasics. The
whole
Innastrad
block
featured
powerful
and
devastating
cards that
we have not seen since the
Eldrazi. If they do not slow downthe gameplay and simplify
gameplay I believe things could
get out of hand very quickly.
WHATS NEXT?
What could be after Theros?
Speculations or suggestions fo
future sets.
This is a section we will
feature every issue where we will
field questions, discuss any
questions or comments, or even
discuss strategy.
Any questions or
comments may be submitted
(preferably in writing) to either
Ken or myself, at the shop or
online.

Warhammer is a miniatures gamein which one opponent looks to
eliminate the other through the
destruction of their army.
Set in the future, this game offers
both sci-fi and fantasy gaming
appeal.Executed through the use
of miniatures, gameplay may
happen anywhere. This game also
allows for social interaction and
understanding. The game fosterscommunication skills, team
building experience, and
creativity.
There is also a certain level of
pride that can be felt with the
preparation of your army.
Warhammer pieces are sold
unpainted so each player may
customize their armys own color
scheme.
This level of creativity also
expands beyond the pieces and
on to the battlefield. While you
may play anywhere, even a blank
tabletop, many players also like
to create their own terrain. This
enables you to customize the
battle zone and make it your own!
This can also help to make sure
that you never fight the samebattle twice!
If you find yourself interested,
The Barracks offers plenty of
Warhammer merchandise. Also,
we often offer games workshops
to demonstrate this and other
gaming formats.

THE BARRACKS NEWSLETTER | Issue 1
In this section every month we
will discuss drafting certain cards
and other pointers that may help
you out in a Magic draft
tournament.
The first card we will discuss is
Madcap Skills. Not only is the
CMC low at 2, but this card also
beefs up any creatures offense
with the +3/+0. Oh, and by the
way also cant be blocked except
by two or more creatures, who
would want that? An excellent
complement card for any draftdeck running red, do not be
surprised if it is one of the first
commons to be drafted.
The second card we will discuss is
Guardian of the Gateless. You will
often find this to be one of the
first cards drafted and with good
reason. This creatures second
ability makes it a definite game
changer, often enabling you tosurvive at least one more turn. As
for offense the Flying ability is
often very advantageous in the
draft format, often over-looked,
and not as commonly played.
This creatures third ability could
also be extremely useful in taking
out a whole swarm of tokens.
Our third card we will discuss is
Mugging. A one drop red card that
has many uses. You can deal the 2
damage to target creature to
remove a pesky, little creature or
use it to make a vicious defender
useless, either way it usually
means a hurting is on the way forthe other player.
