This is the dated constructed pool of March – July 2010. For the fixed pre-reset pool played since 2014, see Legacy Open. For all pools of this era, see Virtual Legacy.

Premiere - Virtual Block 6.3 is the constructed card pool of every Decipher card plus the Players Committee virtual cards through Virtual Block 6.3: Mercenaries. On 18 February 2010 the Players Committee set "a March 15th 2010 release date (tournament legal 14 days later)"; it posted the release on 12 March, and the PDF has official text as of 15 March 2010.[1][2][3] The planned legal date is therefore 29 March 2010; no announcement confirming it was found. The pool lasted until 1 July 2010; Virtual Block 7.1 became legal on 2 July.[4] Event listings of the time call the format "Standard Contstructed" [sic].[2]

  • Type: constructed

Changes made while this pool was in force:

  • 17 June 2010: errata to Death Star Gunner (V) and Rebel Tech (V), effective immediately: instead of canceling the game text of sites, they cancel the opponent's Force drain bonuses from those sites.[13]

History

The 18 February 2010 post explained that the planned February set had been pushed back and renamed Virtual Set 6.3: Mercenaries.[1] Compared with Premiere - Virtual Block 6.2, the pool adds the 34 Mercenaries cards (21 Dark Side, 13 Light Side).[12] Decklists of the 2010 Match Play Championship (17–18 April 2010) already include Mercenaries cards such as Cyclone Walker and Cad Bane.[14]

The Mercenaries PDF also describes an optional side format: "Block tournaments are a new and exciting kind of event ... You can select a limited number of virtual blocks to go along with any similar selection of Decipher expansions."[3] Block tournaments were an alternative to this pool, not a replacement for it.
