WoW TCG Battlegrounds
The WoW TCG Battlegrounds program was a way for players to find a Trading Card Game at a local level, competing to become the store's Battleground Master and to receive rewards like Extended Art and Tokens with the ultimate goal is to receive the Battleground Master's exclusive playmat.[1]
Participants would receive at least one exclusive Extended Art card in addition to first place consisting of a deckbox and an Extended Card Art while second place only gets the same Extended Card Art.
