Three Phase Release for AEG’s L5R Emperor Edition

Jan 6, 2012

A three phase roll out is planned for the upcoming Emperor Edition set from AEG for their Legend of the Five Rings CCG!

AEG Stronghold Stores only will receive Emperor Edition Boosters for pre-release between January 27th-29th. Pre-release events will be held in adraft format. Participate in these pre-release events and receive a special promo card! Then, from February 17th-19th, Stronghold Stores will receive Emperor Edition Starter Decks for yet another pre-release event. These Starter Deck pre-release events will be in sealed deck format. Again, you will receive a special promo for attending.

All other stores that carry L5R will receive Emperor Edition in its entirety on February 27th, 2012. Stronghold Stores are allowed to begin selling Emperor Edition on the above mentioned pre-release dates.

AEG understands and apologizes for the various delays in The Emperor Edition. As a way to make it up to loyal fans of the series, L5R players will find a new distribution among their booster packs. Instead of the prior 10 common, 4 uncommon, and 1 rare card in prior booster packs, AEG will now have 9 common, 5 uncommon, and 1 rare card in the Emperor Edition Boosters!

In addition to new distribution, a letter from Kolat reveals even more exciting opportunities to take advantage of while waiting for Emperor Edition to arrive:

“Agent,

The Imperials are fools. As you are aware, there have been setbacks in their plans for their so-called “Emperor Edition”. These setbacks have left us a window of opportunity, one that Master Tiger wishes to take full advantage of. While the Imperials wait for their new product to arrive, we shall provide the people of Rokugan with that which they desire most. Visit www.l5r.com/KolatEdition.pdf. There you will find a package that you can print and use for all tournaments, sanctioned, storyline, and otherwise, through March 1st, 2012. The local Tournament Organizer may use our materials if he wishes to swear his fealty to the Kolat and have his event be Kolat Edition legal. Otherwise, he may still run his event as a “Celestial” Edition tournament. This is effectively starting today, January 2nd, 2012. Spread the word so all will know of Master Tiger’s generosity. He is allowing everyone to play for two months for free. We will show the Imperials the meaning of the word Premium.

Yasuki Makoto
Kolat”

It’s time for L5R players to be really excited as Emperor Edition will include new themes, cards, and more!
