Welcome to a round up of the week! We have ladder rollover, Exalted announcements, and more!
It's Climb Time
It's that time again! Our current ladder season is almost over. On August 31st, at 11:59 PM Pacific, the 2017 Ladder Season #4 will come to a close. This means you have one week to climb to Cosmic and get the AA Gallant Spearcliff animated sleeve.
At rollover, our best players from both the Constructed and Limited ladders will also receive an invitation to compete in the Cosmic Crown Showdown!
There, our best players will duke it out with $5,000 on the line. For your chance to be a star, make sure you climb that Cosmic leaderboard. Only the top 64 players from each ladder will secure their chance to compete. It's climb time!
Lights, Camera, Action
If you've ever wanted more HEX video content to watch, community members Largashbur and Darkfall have got you covered. With financial support by KingGabriel, Edswor, and BroomBot, they have put together vod.hexcompendium.com. This sweet site is a one-stop portal for on-demand gameplay, tournament, and review video content. You should definitely take a look if you haven't already. Great job, guys!

Exalted Entry
As many of you already know, for the past few years we have run the Exalted Program. This program is our chance to recognize community members who have distinguished themselves within our already amazing community. We show our thanks and immortalize these paragons in the form of honorary cards, to represent their lasting impact on the community and HEX itself.
Traditionally, we have announced that honor to a single person at Gen Con. This year we are doing something a little different. Our community has so many members who do remarkable things for this game on a regular basis, this time we will be honoring three people who have helped make our game a better place to be. These Exalted will come from three distinct categories:
- Technical - A player who has contributed by building something remarkable for HEX.
- Community - A player who has helped foster and grow our sense of community.
- Player - A player who plays and encourages others to play at the highest levels of our game.
We will be announcing these new Exalted over the month of September. Stay tuned to find out who will receive our highest honor!
See you in the battlegrounds~
