Special Event modes!!!
That's right, every Monday you can participate in a 24 hour Team Event (if you are on a team with at least 8 players). Or every Thursday-Sunday you can compete in an individual event to help you progress in the game or even play for a powerful special card. Here's the Events Screen in case you were interested:
The two types of events you will participate in are Ring Domination (RD) and Road to Glory (RTG). These alternate each week starting with Ring Domination. For the Team version, you use cards that are provided by your teammates to play the event and the top card is a regular version of the card. In the individual events, you can earn a single event card (more powerful than regular cards) if you are at the top tier of the game from each event. Which means that you must complete both RD and RTG to get the pro version.
Both RD and RTG use the bout system described in the MITB and RR section of the Permanent Game Modes post. But let me help you understand each event better, by explaining it's game play.
In RD, you have a deck of 16 male superstar cards and a board of 9 squares (think tic-tack-toe). The AI selects 6 cards from your deck that you can play on the board. After you play your card the AI will play a card from your opponents hand. Like Royal Rumble, the arrows on the card have a purpose in this mode. The direction of the arrow allows you to attack a card played on the board that it points to. So if you have a yellow up arrow card in your hand and the AI plays a card on at the top of the board, you can use the up arrow card to attack that card on the board. The goal is to have the most cards on the board at the end. If you attack (or the AI attacks you) the stronger card wins and both cards now belong to the winner.
If you win in RD, you get 4 picks, if you lose you only get 2. Rather than the normal 25 card draft board, RD uses a special 36 shard board. You begin playing for 3 cards starting with a card below your RD deck strength. Each time you draw a Rare or better card you reveal a piece of the card and the board resets to the number of shards minus the ones you've revealed. Once you reveal all 36 shards, you win the card that was behind the shards. After you finish the first card below your deck tier, you play for a card at your current deck tier and if you clear that card you can play for the card above your deck tier. If you are at the top tier, the third card you play for is the Event card.
RTG is similar to RD in that you are playing for cards found in the event. However, you start at the lowest card tier for the event and earn points on a (+1, +3, +5) level with each bout you play. Each card in the event you earn requires more and more points to earn that card.
In RTG, you use 16 male superstar cards, 4 female superstar cards, and 2 support cards. You then face off against an opponent over 4 rounds where you have 4 cards from your deck shuffled into your hand each round. Then you play against your opponent like in Wild mode where you are either playing a male/female solo match or a male/female tag match. At the end of the bout, to earn the points for the bout you need to won more matches (or tied) your opponent. You also get 8 picks from the normal draft board.
As you progress, the +5 and +3 matches get more difficult as the opponents deck tier increases along the way. Unless you have a RTG deck in the top tier you can expect to hit what players call "the wall." The +1 bouts are matched against opponents with a similar deck tier as your own and you will generally have to play +1 bouts to finish the card of the tier your deck is found in.
Whether it's a team event or individual event, they all provide you a good way to build your deck and earn new cards for your arsenal. These events also help break up the monotony of the permanent game modes. Again, I've created a brief 5 minute tutorial on what has been mentioned in this post in the video below:
