The (nandemoya) is there to help
Cards such as Ariel, Whoseit Collector pair well with item cards, while the excellent Aurora, Dreaming Guardian grant Ward to your other characters using her Protective Embrace power, forcing your opponents to challenge them to get them off the field
Keep in mind, though, that decks you build for the competitive meta might not be as strong in this format, and vice-versa
While I dont know for sure that this is how it works, I would be safe and wait to actually buy your tickets on the 6th or after just to make sure you dont miss out on a promo because of some lame technicality
I really cannot dispute their logic, as cards like The First Chapter original wording foil Befuddle and even Work Together have increased value compared to their later printed counterparts
