I wanted to take a few minutes to let everyone know what we have in store for Hex Vault as we march towards Alpha and Beta. Here are some of the exciting new features you can expect to see from Hex Vault in the coming months:
- Crack the Vault
- From the Vault – the Comic
- Hex Hero
- Card Mechanics
- HexTCG Limited & Constructed Videos, Streams & Analysis
- Building a Winning Deck
- Tournament Metagame Analysis
- HexTCG PVE Strategies
- Convention Coverage
Crack the Vault
Hex Vault will be featuring weekly giveaways once Beta starts! Each week you’ll need to do an online scavenger hunt for the combination to the Vault. Of course, the best way to stay informed about HexTCG and hunt down fragments of the combination will be to keep up with articles posted on Hex Vault. The first person to crack the combination each week will win a prize! Anyone who cracks the vault after the weekly winner will have an opportunity to enter a drawing to win another prize.
From the Vault – the Comic
BossHoss will be authoring an original comic about HexTCG and the Hex Community. Each issue will be a great story with wonderful art, as well as an opportunity to learn something about Hex (and maybe even spot cameos of CZE employees and community members!).
Hex Hero
Hex Hero is a series inspired by the FNM Hero series. As such, the concept will be rather similar – the Hex Hero is a new player with no cards, no friends, and a limited budget. However, he has a goal – to accomplish what is thought to be the holy grail of TCG: Going Infinite. You can see a full description of Hex Hero here.
Card Mechanics
If you’ve been following Hex Vault, you’ve already seen the first 2 Card Mechanics articles! Myself or a guest contributor will be covering existing or proposed Hex mechanics in a series of articles that you can expect to see weekly on Hex Vault. I’ve already been inundated with ideas for mechanics – definitely worth keeping an eye out for whatever we dream up next!
HexTCG Limited & Constructed Videos, Streams & Analysis
Once Alpha starts we’ll be posting gameplay videos, draft videos, etc. For many of the gameplay videos we post raw footage of, we’ll also be posting edited versions with analysis and commentary (including showing both sides of key match-ups). We’ve started a PVP Team and many of our members will be streaming frequently so that you can follow along as we refine constructed decks and get ready for the larger tournaments. You won’t want to miss this content – most of the guys on the team have significant TCG experience and have already shown an intricate understanding of what it takes to win at the highest levels in both Constructed and Limited.
HexTCG PVE Strategies
In addition to our extensive PVP coverage, we also plan to provide PVE strategies too. Hints, tips, walkthroughs – whatever you need in you quest to conquer all the HexTCG has to offer.
Convention Coverage
Hopefully our GenCon 2013 coverage gave you an idea of what to expect when we visit conventions where HexTCG has a presence. We’ll be making it to as many Hex-related conventions as possible and brining you reports, pictures, interviews, and videos that will be of interest to the Hex community.
Thank you for visiting Hex Vault! I hope you’ll come back in the future to catch up on everything that’s going on in the HexTCG community!
