‘Twas the night before Christmas
And here at UD
We thought, “Let’s give a gift out
For Vs. System 2PCG.”
But it’s in less than a day.
What could we possibly do?
“I know!” said the Designer,
“How ‘bout a Defenders preview?”
“Great idea!” said the Brand team.
“But which character to use?”
“If it’s not the right card,
They might think it’s a ruse.”
“It should be something related
To the season we’re in.
There’s snow on the ground.
Families celebrate with their kin.”
“Winter Soldier’s the card that
Suits this like no other.
The name fits, plus Bucky’s like
Captain America’s brother.”
“Main Character or Supporting?”
“There’s really no choice.
Give them the Main,
And the fans will rejoice.”
So here’s Winter Soldier,
Both levels in fact.
Even though he has Ranged,
His Bionic Arm is quite jacked.
If he’s in your Front Row,
And you attack with this chap,
He can become a 4/6,
That’s even larger than Cap!
You should get a stun,
On a regular basis,
So use that to trigger
Cryogenic Stasis.
To Level Up Bucky,
And get him to 2,
Voluntarily Freeze him,
Thematic, it’s true.
When he stuns a defender,
Put Winter Soldier on ice.
And to level him up,
Merely glue him down twice.
Build your deck well,
And you’ll quickly see
That often you level him
Up by turn three.
You’ll then be rewarded,
With a 7/5 bruiser
Who will help you make
Your opponent a loser.
His Sniper Rifle is deadlier.
Than ol’ Hawkeye’s bow.
He can attack those protected,
By your opponent’s Front Row.
If your enemy tries
To put up a big wall,
Winter Soldier just aims
And shoots past them all.
No character is safe
From his assassin’s gaze.
You’ll rack up the wins
On your tournament days.
That’s just a taste,
Of what Defenders has waiting.
Much more awesome and fun,
We have no qualms in stating.
We hope you enjoyed
This preview card’s text.
Please stay safe as you celebrate
Both this weekend and next.
Until 2016,
When we’ll have lots more to write,
Happy gaming to all,
And to all a good night.
