The first-ever livestreamed Cyberpunk TCG event took place on October 20 at CD PROJEKT RED HQ in Warsaw, with 16 content creators battling in a Pre-release tournament. WeirdCo's recap breaks down the cards that defined the event and what they mean for players heading to Pre-release weekends starting October 30.
Gorilla Arms (the promo included in every Pre-release kit) proved explosively versatile: +3 Power and an extra Gig steal on attack. Maelstrom Zealots shined in Sealed, punishing opponents who leave strong units spent. Safety Override created massive swing turns against Yellow decks holding 2 Eddies up. Animals Wrecker's raw 10 Power makes it a board-freezer in Sealed at just 6 Eddies. Adam Smasher: Ender of Legends was the most popular Go Solo Legend, ending games on the spot.
For collectors, the recap signals which commons and uncommons will see heavy play in Sealed — Gorilla Arms is guaranteed in every kit, while Animals Wrecker and Maelstrom Zealots are commons that define the format. The Pre-release weekend runs October 30 – November 1 worldwide.
