Launch Party for Double Masters 2022 is this Saturday Night!


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,

Lachy

The website got a facelift

 It has been busy busy busy behind the scenes here at EPIC Ipswich over the past fortnight. Prep work for the Benevolent Owners shared vacation, juggling the change in the store's layout, new til systems, new television menus, and becoming increasingly popular. This isn't even factoring in the change in menu, or the upcoming events planned. We have been busy and you can trust I'll give you, loyal readers, a store update once we get time. In the meantime, our website has been updated by yours truly. When I first did the original website home page I had the essential elements, with a lot of my working hours, I've been making the website more streamlined and more friendly to our bandwidth. Please note, that the game pages are still to be updated to provide you more information about what we do here. In the mean time, anticipate big things on the horizon. I saw some streaming gear in the offices.... I suspect it will have something to do with videos on the social media end....

Team Cupcake and Why they run Bingo

Bingo has been a staple at EPIC Ipswich since it first opened, originally running 6 Games a week (3 in the morning and 3 at night during weeknights), now it sees over 100 people weekly for our Friday night Bingo and our end-of-month Speed Bingo, a late session after the normal Bingo held on the last Friday of each month. To the surprise of many, EPIC Ipswich merely provides the staff and venue for BINGO, it's actually organised by Shell's Team Cupcake, a not-for-profit organisation. But what is Team Cupcake and what is their mission? How did Team Cupcake come about? Team Cupcake Inc started out with a couple of friends and some family raising money to pay for a beloved friend's secondary cancer treatment. Along their journey, we discovered that there were many other people in Ipswich that need a little helping hand and sometimes just needed to know that someone was thinking of them and cared. And so Team Cupcake became incorporated so that they could help to ease the burden...

The Adventures of a D&D Penguin - a Kids D&D Game

Say what you like about the mind of a child, there is no denying the imagination we had as kids vastly changes as we all come into adulthood. For me it’s something I feel is a loss – I could spend hours in the backyard of my childhood home, swinging sticks like they were swords, lightsabers, magic wands or a wizard’s staff. Nowadays I spend time imagining social interactions in my head, playing out a scenario in my head on drives between places or as I make my morning coffee, comparably less cool than being a freaking wizard! The fact I still can recall a lot of those games of make-believe around my junior school playground speaks volumes about the impact imagination has on a developing brain. This is one of the reasons I am constantly dumbfounded when I DM (Dungeon Master) a game of  Dungeons and Dragons for kids and they do something truly amazing that ruminates in my mind and happily lives there rent-free weeks after it’s. This, dear reader, is the story of how my  Dungeon...
