If you’ve not been heavily captivated with the spoilers and the preview events from WPN Premium stores, then you must be living under a rock because Double Masters 2022 has taken the Magic the Gathering world by storm!
We here at EPIC Ipswich are eagerly awaiting (and in my case losing sleep from excitement) our launch party this Saturday night! In my excitement and caffeinated fuelled state, I am writing this blog to our local Magic community to ensure everyone is on the same page regarding the MEGA Launch Party.
What do you get for your $99 Entry?
Let me assure you that the value you get on the night exceeds the cost of entry. Entry into our launch party provides you with 3 packs to draft (which each cost $27, totalling $87). We are giving away FREE packs at the end of the night, dividing the leftover products in the CASE of Double Masters 2022 with those in attendance. Special offers for whole box purchases on the night plus, rumours of discounted food and drinks or specials are circulating the office.
TL:DR You’re getting more than what you paid for!
Prizes?
Yes! There will be prizes! The top 3 each win 3 booster packs from the set!
In addition, we have two draws we are doing in the night – To enter into these you would’ve had to prebook your tickets for our Mega Launch or Tagged people on our social media post.
For those who had prebooked their tickets, their names are entered into our draw to win AN ENTIRE DRAFT BOOSTER BOX!
For those who tagged their friends on Facebook, you’re entered into the draw for every person you tag! What’s the prize? One of the sets very expensive Collector Booster packs!For those who show excellent sportsmanship and impress the almighty and benevolent store owners, you may also receive one of the two various promo cards available in this set!
How will the draft function?
Similar to all other drafts with a slight twist. Players draft two cards when they open a new pack during the drafting period of the event. After that, they select one card until it’s time to start the next pack.
Wizard’s of the Coast (WotC), the game developers have stated this is to ensure players have more opportunities to keep rare collectible cards they want and even more flexibility when deck building.
What’s not to like?
This set has me so, so, so unbelievably stoked! I genuinely don’t think it’s my excessive consumption of EPIC’s delicious coffee talking either. I have desperately craved a reprinting of Dockside Extortionist for years! This set is loaded with reprints including the illustrious Imperial Seal which despite its reprint, is still valued well into the hundreds of dollars! The most controversial part of this set is also my favourite though, the all-new foiling treatment – the textured foils! I will definitely be spending all my savings on Collector Boosters just to feel the awe and elation that would accompany pulling such a pretty shiny cardboard rectangle!
Check out the gif. WotC released of it! IT’S SO PRETTY!
EPIC Ipswich’s MEGA-Launch for Double Masters 2022 is this Saturday (the 9th of July) at 6PM. It’s not too late to book in or enter any of our contests, yes we permit walk-ins on the night, however, once the drafting begins we cannot allow entry. Walk-ins will unfortunately not be entered into any of our ongoing contests.
Until Saturday I will likely be kept awake at night like a child waiting for Santa to deliver their Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve. Ugh… this’ll be a long week of anticipation.
Your Friend and Ally,
