Hi, been checking out various sites regarding Spoils and it seems really interesting. However there are few things I would need to know before deciding whether to invest in this game or not.
1. How is the support in Malaysia?(in terms of number of events, player base, access to the latest expansion)
2. Is it a very expensive hobby?(do they have cards that is a "must have" or highly influential that warp the metagame hence those without those cards would start at a disadvantage)
3. How is the community here,friendly or a cutthroat environment? (are the players/shops helpful in bringing up new players as I have come across cases in some games where players think they are an elite few and hardly help the newbie causing games to fail)
4. Is the game maker in for a long run in South East Asia or would they be like UDE?(I played games by UDE and after investing so many time n effort into their game, they juz pull out of SEA, totally cutting the support, it pisses me off and I am wondering would The Spoils make the same mistake)
I guess that is all of the question I have for now

1. In terms of events, we have been having Sealed and Draft sessions. We are also starting the Spoils Hobby League in March and we will announcing something major probably by April or May. It is pretty exciting, we just need to iron out some details.
In one month, we have a player base of around 20? So, the indication is good that this is pretty good. On top of that, Tenacious Games have recently informed us that they will be officially supporting this region. In terms of latest expansion, we are currently one expansion behind them but it is pretty deliberate. We want to push the first and second expansion before launching the third probably in April.
2. There are expensive cards in any card game but I wouldn't say that they are all must have. Certainly helps sometime though
3. This will be an awesome community. No offense to MTG players, but the reason we hated the game so much so that we don't carry the game in our store is because of the unfriendly community that comes along with the game. Therefore, we try to make sure our community remains as friendly as possible.
4. I believe TG is here to stay as long as they see it is worth it. I would say it helps as we are pretty excited in pushing it for them.
And sorry for the out of stock, we didn't anticipate the game to move so fast. But it is all good. It means that our efforts are paying off.
Sealed are usually RM52 for competition pack and it comes with two free boosters. Drafts are usually RM33 for three packs and a box of boosters is RM140.
As we didn't have a Sealed tournament in February, we gave the opportunity to players to get the benefits as long as they buy the competition pack. We are opened on Sundays but we have been closed for the past two weeks due to TNB work.
