Top 10 - ATP 6
Written by ATP Jason
Welcome back to my TF TCG Journey, today I will be discussing my Ten favorite things about Season 6 of the Alpha Trion Tournament Series.
10. Congrats to Ziggy for winning the ATP-6 token design contest! They turned out nice, and they will make great prizes for the season!
9. No Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, or Megatron character is included. We enjoy and appreciate the most notable characters of the series, but they need to take a back seat some waves. Nemesis Prime, Iron Hide, Astrotrain, and Broadside make a strong appearance this wave.
8. More battlemasters! Schrute and Singe are low cost common rarity battlemaster characters that can be used in any format in a variety of deck styles.
unlimted potential
7. Lost in Research
Lost in Research Mission Stratagem is the real deal! We are already seeing in this opening Titan One tournament through Alpha Trion, Astrotrain, Perceptor, and Hound decks that LiR can be used to have some massive turns and killer combos
6. Energized!
Watching the build up and play of energized effects is a thing of beauty. With energized 4 being able to put an upgrade on your deck and play it with Mad Science is awesome.
5. Character resurrection
I never tire of seeing old character cards get new life through stratagems. Blaster with 2 cassettes and Elita has been fun to play as well as seeing Slipstream become a force in the Astrotrain focus decks.
4. Commissioned Prizes!
Drew won a tournament in Season 5 where the ultimate prize was to choose a character to have the art commissioned, and the ATP design team would create a character in Season 6. He chose Hot Rod, and now he is a 7-star character that is fun to flip. He also is a direct counter to ATP heralds which follows the lore.
3. Tribal Support
Seekers
Insecticons
Wreckers
Settle Some Scores Mission Stratagem, Pulling Rank Battle Card, Red Wing Character Card.
Seekers now have a viable blue option as well as 3 or 4 wide teams.
Wreckers
Insecticons
Wreckers
Wrecker’s Orders Battle Card, Iron First Character Card, Broadside Character Card
Wreckers is now wide open with the addition of a 6-star character. If they get a 5-star character next wave my mind may explode from the possibilities
Insecticons
Insecticons
Insecticons
Bombshell Character Card, Close-Quarters Combat Battle Card
Insecticons now have a 4 wide team in junkion and a finisher card.
Dinobots
Dinobots
Insecticons
Slug Character Card
Dinobots have an upgraded Swoop character to round out the Grimlock and Sludge blue team.
Heralds
Dinobots
Heralds
Cyclonus Character Card, This is My Command Mission Stratagem.
Heralds along with the new low star cost Cyclonus character card, and This is My Command and Sharpshooter stratagems will be a force to be reckoned with in classic format.
2. Warpath
Rebuilding the Past
Warpath is a great expression of the ATP group’s love for the game. He had a card in wave 2 that was not very playable, and now he is reborn into a 7-star stud. He has 4 or 5 attack, pierce, non-attack damage, stout defense, and the ability to KO cards.
I have longed to see as many Generation 1 characters get at least one playable card in this game, and the more I see it the more my enjoyment of the game grows.
Is a strong 4 wide tank deck possible in the future? Will a 3 wide tank deck with Sky Lynx be possible in the future? Would be exciting to see!
1. Tournaments
Season 6 Events
With around 20 people entered into this opening Titan One tournament participation has been high for the last 2 months. Win or lose it is fun to try to make it into the top 8 for tournaments and win a prize. I personally have greatly enjoyed watching a lot of matches over the last couple of months. This game is better than ever, and we hope you will join in the fun!
Thanks!
