Upper Deck has announced a major promotional tour behind its World of Warcraft TCG.  The March of the Legion Tour events will be hosted at a limited number of local hobby stores across the U.S. beginning in April.  At the events, players will play against Upper Deck "Legionnaires," competing for exclusive prizes.  Legionnaires will be drawn from Upper Deck's WoW TCG research and development and organized play teams. 

 

Players who beat a Legionnaire will win a Varimathras Extended Art card and a Leeroy Jenkins t-shirt.  All participants will receive a new Weeble Extended Art card from the March of the Legion set. 

 

Five events will be held in each of six different areas around the country, within close enough proximity to each other to allow one Legionnaire team to cover one Friday, two Saturday, and two Sunday events in each area.  Regions and stores will be chosen based on the strength of the existing WoW TCG organized play base. 

 

Upper Deck plans marketing and outreach programs to publicize the tour, and Legionnaires will blog about each event as they take place.
