Card of the Week: Battle Losses
| Obstacles that destroy support characters aren't really anything new. Salish Spirits, Carnivorous Creature, and Corrosive Spray were among the more commonly seen options in SG-1, and System Lords offers several new ones. At first glance, Battle Losses (one of those new options) might not seem as tempting an option as the others -- the destroyed character is chosen by its owner and not you, so it's sure to be the least valuable character available. But nevertheless, a kill is a kill, and there are situations in which Battle Losses really shines. |

System Lords Sneak Preview: In-Fighting
|
| The power of putting the right glyphs on the right team characters made Information Leak and Mind Probe two of the most popular obstacles from the SG-1 set. Now with System Lords, a player who is willing to pay more power is going to have another tool for the job: In-Fighting. |

System Lords Sneak Preview: Chaska
|
| In the SG-1 set, the keyword "Success:" was solely the province of hero cards, while "Failure:" was to be found only on villain cards (missions notwithstanding). This is no longer the case in System Lords, as today's featured card demonstrates: |

Master of Your Domain
|
by Evan Lorentz, Game Designer
Each new expansion for Stargate TCG is of course going to offer cards to both hero and villain strategies. But you'd probably expect a little something extra for the bad guys in a set called "System Lords" -- and you'd be right. |

|
| Despite dwindling numbers, the Tok'ra have fought the Goa'uld for centuries. In the process, they've no doubt learned many ways to conserve their limited resources and spend them wisely. Today's System Lords preview card shows one of the more prominent ways that has been captured in Stargate TCG: |

System Lords Sneak Preview: Resilience
|
| On Stargate SG-1, the Russians' attempt to run an active Gate program was short-lived and ultimately ineffective. In the Stargate TCG, you'll now have the chance to succeed where they failed. Or rather, fail where they failed. To understand what that means, you'd best take a look at this card from System Lords: Resilience. |
