What The IDC Wants For Christmas!
By Trent McCrow

Ah, Christmas, my favorite festive season! Christmas Breakfast and Christmas Dinner, spending time with family, opening presents, swatting away the flies in the 35 degree Celsius heat: this is Christmas for me! I really love Christmas as I usually fork out a lot of money not only on my family but on myself! I even wrap my own presents up so I can open them on Christmas day! (The only thing better then opening presents is cracking boosters of SWTCG!) But most importantly this Christmas festive season is about the ones we care for. Christmas is really about love. And because we love you, some members of the IDC are going to share their Christmas desires with you!


Name:
Cody "Grand Moff Nicodemus Fett" Barnett
IDC Position:
Card Development Chairman
What I Want for Christmas:
There's not many material needs I want for Christmas other than a few books. What I truly want for Christmas is time to spend with my family.
What I Want from Clone Wars: Republic at War:
Everyone knows my favor for the Count himself, Darth Tyranus. I really want to make this Sith Lord playable in the current game. I also want a good, balanced set that falls in between what the IDC has produced thus far.

Name:
"gajopv"
IDC Position:
Card Development Member
What I want for Christmas:
A Cray supercomputer (customized for gaming, of course!). Realistically: Some accessories for my electric bass.
What I Want from Clone Wars: Republic at War:
I would like to see the Droid subtype come back even stronger. (Droid subtype: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can ever imagine." )

Name:
Len "RedneckJedi" Fowler
IDC Position:
Rules Vice-Chairperson
What I want for Christmas:
Time. Time to do all the things I need doing.
What I Want from Clone Wars: Republic at War:
A balanced set that can be played on its own, and add to all the other cards we have so far to help enhance Republic, Clone, and Separatist-based themes.

Name:
Marc "Marconis Maximus" McNeill
IDC Position:
Play Testing Chairperson
What I want for Christmas: To see my family.
What I Want from Clone Wars: Republic at War:
A set that the public likes. Also, I would like to see clones become playable again.

Name:
Oren "Eagle's Nest" Weiss
IDC Position:
Playtesting Vice Chairperson
What I want for Christmas:
I'd love to actually spend time with my family. I wouldn't mind a Nintendo Wii either.
What I Want from Clone Wars: Republic at War:
I'd like for this set to help the Separatist/ Trade Federation decks out, so they become widely used again. Within that, I want a General Grievous that will actually work in Separatist/ Trade Federation decks. Lastly, I want the community to get a set that isn't too powerful or too weak.

Name: Freddie "Mixmaster" May
IDC Position:Graphic Design Chairperson
What I want for Christmas:
A Lamborghini Diablo
What I Want from Clone Wars: Republic at War:
What Red wants. "A balanced set that can be played on its own, and add to all the other cards we have so far to help enhance Republic, Clone, and Separatist-based themes."

Name: Brian "Skywlkr" Weeks
IDC Position: Public Affairs Chairperson
What I want for Christmas:
A Happy and Safe Holidays for everybody and a new laptop (so I can update and work on the IDC website better and faster).
What I Want from Clone Wars: Republic at War:
I've always been a fan of the Han/Leia and Anakin/Padme synergy's in previous sets. So I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of Anakin/Padme units CD comes up with. Any subtype, Jedi, Padawan, Republic or Diplomat; they would all be a welcome addition to past Light side prequel movie deck designs.

Name: Trent "IVIaceWindu" McCrow
IDC Position: Public Affairs Vice-Chairperson
What I want for Christmas:
Firstly I would really like our latest work revealed so all you guys can see what an awesome set it is and how much hard work we have put into it! But what I really want for Xmas to to be able to spend it with my girlfriend and her family and have a great time with family enjoying their company! Oh and Mass Effect for 360 would be kool too!
What I Want from Clone Wars: Republic at War:
I think it is no secret that I like Mace Windu. So I really want to see a good powerful version of him in the set (as the last one was a bit so so). I also want to see alot of cards come from the Battle of Mon Calamari as Kit Fisto is my Favorite Non-Human Jedi! (apart from Yoda of course!) I would really like to see the Aquatic subtype expanded and have some really great new Clone units. But most of all want CW:RAW to tell the story of what the Clone Wars were really about and to be provided with a set that I can recreate all the great battles from the clone wars! (No secret I love playing with themed decks either!) Play, Love, Live the SWTCG!


As I said before Christmas is all about love and the IDC must really love you as we are going to give just a little present that you can pin up on your door and show off to your neighbors this festive season. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
But what do you want for Christmas? What do you want from the CW:RAW expansion? Discuss it here!
