Jump to navigation Jump to search
This is the dated constructed pool of September–December 2009. For the fixed pre-reset pool played since 2014, see Legacy Open. For all pools of this era, see Virtual Legacy.

Premiere - Virtual Block 6.1 is the constructed card pool of every Decipher card plus the Players Committee virtual cards as of Virtual Set 6: Reflections IV, the first release after the 2009 Virtual Block Reorganization. Reflections IV has official text as of 4 September 2009, and the Players Committee announced it, with the Revolution Errata and the realignment of the earlier Virtual Sets, on 16 September 2009.[1][2] No separate tournament-legal date was found. The pool lasted until 20 December 2009; Virtual Block 6.2 became legal on 21 December.[3] At the time the Players Committee simply called this its standard format: "our standard playing format, which is open deck construction where all cards in the card pool are available for use".[2] Event listings of the time call it "Constructed" or "Open Constructed".[4][5]

Card pool

The pool is every Decipher card plus every Players Committee virtual release up to and including 6.1 Reflections IV:

Changes made while this pool was in force:

  • 21 September 2009: Rebel Fleet (V) from Reflections IV was temporarily blanked and Strong Is Vader received errata, both effective immediately.[10]
  • 21 October 2009: the errata of Leia, Rebel Princess was revised to a bottom template only, effective immediately.[11]

History

The previous pool was Premiere - Original VS17, with the numbered Virtual Sets 1–17. On 16 September 2009 the Players Committee announced "the completion of Virtual Set 6: Reflections IV, as well as the completion of the Revolution Errata" and a "realignment of the existing virtual sets, into larger sets that are more consolidated": Virtual Set 1: A New Hope, 2: The Empire Strikes Back, 3: Return of the Jedi, 4: Expanded Universe and 5: The Old Republic.[2] The repackaged Block 1–5 PDFs carry the stamp "Official text as of December 7, 2009"; they hold no new cards.[6] The cards of the planned 18th set, Fifth Anthology, were released inside Reflections IV.[7]

So this pool differs from the previous one by the 110 new Reflections IV cards, the mass Revolution Errata and the new Block numbering.[8][2] Decklists of the 2009 World Championship (8–11 October 2009) already include Reflections IV cards such as Han, Chewie, And The Falcon (V) and Let The Wookiee Win (V).[12]

On 28 October 2009 the Players Committee announced the next release, Galaxy At War, for 7 December ("Cards will be tournament legal December 21st").[13] On 5 November it moved Galaxy At War to a later Block and made the 7 December release "a continuation of the V6: Reflections IV block".[14] That release became Virtual Block 6.2, Domain Of Evil.
