CVH and a few others received a winter promo card and and note from Andrea Cole and “The Kaijudo Team”

Old Man Winter

Lvl: 6

Power: 1100

Civ: Nature

Race: Colossus

Abilities:

Double Breaker- This creature breaks 2 shields

”Holiday Bash”’ — When this creature enters the battle zone, each player may draw 3 presents cards. Then your opponent may put any number of non-evolution coworkers creatures into the party battle zone from his or her hand

flavor text: “Are we having fun yet?”



I'm not sure who else will be getting these or how many were even made but it's pretty cool.

37 bids in 2 days...Bet that is going to sell for a lot. I guess this is a good thing; it shows how many Kaijudo Collectors there are already XD

Also, just me or is it lacking the normal Rarity on side?
37 bids, but by 3 people. Its likely to be the auto-bidding (up to a certain price) fighting against each other.

You would probably have played the most expensive kaijudo deck due to them, haha.

Already sent a tweet out asking about the legality, as I'm curious about it.


I honestly didn't even think about that haha, very valid point. I honestly expected to get disqualified when I played him, the most asked questions were "Is this real?" "How did you get it?" "Did you print this yourself?"

The card itself does not have a rarity, it's pretty cool.

Now let me shamelessly plug some advertising!

I am raffling one off to the community, my only request is that whoever does win it doesn't sell the card. These presents cards were gifts and should stay that way.

In my most recent tournament report I went undefeated with an Old Man Winter themed deck.

As I noted in a few places, the card is entirely legal, according to Gavin Verhey on twitter.

Kaijudo is a "rich man's game" now! (Kidding, its not that crazy a card.)

Andrea Cole says she has no idea as to how many of these are out there, but it seems that the kaijudo staff was given these guys too

Very awesome that you're raffling off 1 of your cards. I hope whomever wins it honors the gift and keeps it instead of selling it. Though if they do that's their call and I don't feel there is anything wrong with turning a profit in this world either. Were it me I'd keep it because it doesn't look like it's going to be that easy to get a copy since they look to be the most exclusive cards yet. Thank you for all that you've already done in support of the game.

I think that if this stays under $200, I might try to win it.
I want a complete collection.
That includes this card.

I'm giving my own tiny shop a try, just to see if there is enough interest in the product to sustain it. Consider it a little project of mine.
Any and all support helps me expand so that I can start providing Kaijudo cards at competitive rates in higher quantities!

It's not an auction, I'm raffling the card off free of charge; there's no reason not to enter if you want it!

I could understand why someone would want to sell it as it's slowly building in value, however there are people who actually want the card to add to their collection and it would mean a lot to them to have it. Someone shouldn't abuse the community's holiday gift like that.

Overall though I don't think it's going to be easy to get the card at all, there has already been a pretty large interest in the raffle.

It definitely makes it worth it to support the community when I see how appreciative some people are, I'll continue helping out for a long time; Kaijudo is my favorite game and I want it to succeed.

I wasn't referring to your raffle. I was referring to the eBay auction. Sorry for being unclear.

And on a side note, I am one of those people that would genuinely just like to add it to my collection. It's an incredibly fun game and I've been keeping up with everything so far. Sealed decks. Complete sets. Promo cards. The idea of having an incomplete collection because I couldn't be a part of the Kaijudo staff pains me. So this is an opportunity I am going to try and take advantage of.

I absolutely adore the idea of being involved in this game. If I had an opportunity to work with or on Kaijudo, I would snap it up in a heart beat. For now, I'll just have to work at the lowest of levels, getting my community interested and purchasing product.

Looks like the game is healthier than I expected. The market is certainly moving faster on these than I would have ever expected. Wish I could say I feel 100% good about the in my opinion ridiculous prices the cards are going for but that is only my opinion. Not really in the christmas spirit either but it does embrace the commercial marketing scheme it has become more thoroughly entrenched year after year. : (

Thank you again Aiden_Thorne for offering one up as a randomly raffled card to a lucky winner. It's much more in the spirit they were given in.

Well, it is possible that there are more Old Man Winter that will be released in the future (which is why I feel the pricing is a bit silly atm). Although I will admit, it seems doubtful at the moment. Maybe next year they will reprint it with different year and set number for a more widespread release; at least it would work nicely since collectors still have value in original yet the card won't be an uber rare high $ only casual card.

Maybe the limited release was meant as a way to test the popularity for the game even. I mean they must have expected that they would be sold by some people.

Aiden its wicked cool that you are raffling your space card off, the whole community is very grateful. I'm not exactly sure but I think some of the other people who received cards might have spares to raffle off (who else got cards? I know CVH and TKC but was that is?). As far as these copies of OMW on ebay I personally find these prices to be utterly insane but hey "to each his own"

To some extent, as a serious collector, I really appreciate the opportunity to own the card. This is the only way I could come to own the card (Save one random raffle, haha).

Earthp0w3r also got 5. I think he's down to 3 as well, as we gave Spencer and Gorby one a piece frome ach of us. So 10 in the team.


...which is apparently over $1000 lololol. I don't think any of us are selling though, I might raffle one off at a much later date, wouldn't want to interfere with Andy's raffle anyway.

Well there goes me collecting every Kaijudo card... I hate Holiday exclusive products like this. It is never fair to the casual fans... :(
