Greetings HeroClix Masterminds!

For a full listing of all Modern Age-legal HeroClix releases, please go to the WizKids Information Network Rules Forum HERE.

Players may notice that both Scott Porter figures are rotating early. Figures rotate out of modern to keep the format accessible for players early on in their HeroClix journey as well as to keep things fresh for players who enjoy playing frequently. Scott Porter leaving Modern a little early helps maintain the spirit of rotation. For players who already have Scott Porter in their collection, they’ll get to continue using him in other formats.

Next, at the time of the 2024 rotation, we will be making an update the the rules for Tarot cards. In order for Tarot cards to be included on a force, a character on that force must have the Tarot keyword printed on their card. The following characters will be errata’d to have the Tarot keyword considered printed as of September 16, 2024:

  • XoS 024 Tarot
  • XoS 061 Saturnyne
  • XoSOP 207 Saturnyne

Finally, we have an update regarding the tournament formats of 2024 US Nationals at GenCon and the 2024 HeroClix World Championships at Memphis. At both of these events, map selection will be limited to 2’x’2 (16 square x 16 square) maps. Larger maps are not otherwise rotating from Modern, and are still legal to use at other events for as long as the sets they are associated with are legal for play.

The decision to restrict map selection at these events was not made lightly, and was only made after discussion with our judge team. As we noted when smaller maps were announced, the smaller size maps lead to faster, more interactive gameplay. Additionally, most figures in the Modern-Age pool were designed with smaller maps in mind. With these points in mind, we decided limiting map selection to 2’x2′ maps will lead to a healthier, more competitive metagame for these events.

We’re looking forward to seeing players at competing at GenCon and Memphis! As always, we’ll have new exclusive figures to purchase and compete for. Before we go, we’ll leave you with a preview:
