Dominaria United Prerelease Retrospective


Rowan and his Timeless Lotus

30 years ago, Magic premiered on the plane of Dominaria, 30 years later we revisit it with the newest release - Dominaria United! This set was packed full of mechanics and a bunch of Legendary Creatures, enough to make a standard Commander Legends set jealous, it even has its own Lotus card.

6 PM rolled around to a night full of players queuing to open their prerelease kits and open their packs. Eventlink code was shared and a QR code linking to our previous article on the mechanics and archetypes of the set was included to assist players in deck construction. 

Unlike other stores prereleases, EPIC is centred around our beloved community, our prize structure is based on the number of rounds you've won rather than the final standings at the end of the night. Giving, each player a chance at winning a set booster. Moreover, each player in attendance received a set booster already in their prize pool.

The only downside was our store hadn't received its promos for the 30 years in time for buy-a-box or prerelease (this was regrettably reflected in sales). 

Much eagerness awaited our community with multiple enquiries into when we are able to sell single packs and Commander decks. 

The release for Dominaria United is this Friday (the 9th of September)

Your Friend and Ally,

Lachy

Fblthp has a new hospitality job?

  The Lost Adventures of Fblthp - entry 3 See previous entry here Fblthp has a new hospitality job? Lisa Cooke had finished her training and rushed off to her work at the local Hotel, she had only arrived when she went to grab her ID from her bag when she found a stowaway in her bag! Fblthp was busted, here is a photo Lisa sent me to report the out-of-control plushie. Now remember, I had thought Fblthp dead after I last saw him being carried away by a pelican, so to say I was surprised that he had gotten so incredibly lost and moreover harassing EPIC Ipswich's patrons, I did the only thing I could think. Like any homunculus who found himself without a job and indebted to someone or something (looking at you Azorious Senate), he was put to work. It began menial, helped Lisa and her lovely boss set up, placing cutlery and decorating tables. The menial task ran dry as both individuals realised a homunculus probably couldn't carry trays or walk around the floor when it was busy.  ...

Phyrexia All Will Be One - A summary of Mechanics and Archetypes

  Once again I find myself in the position of watching everyone else have fun at Prerelease for the new set and this time I cannot put into words how disappointed I am to be unable to partake. Everyone who plays against me in MTG jokes that I'm "a Phyrexian Simp". To help you wrap your head around it and help with deck building for prerelease I have compiled the Mechanics and Archetypes into a single blog post you may scroll through to help. Mechanics Toxic Toxic is the new infect- applying Poison counters to an opponent when a creature with Toxic deals combat damage. The damage applied to an opponent’s life total is reduced with the combat damage and the number of Poison counters applied is determined by the number next to Toxic in that creature’s text box. Corrupted Corrupted is a new MTG mechanic in Phyrexia All Will Be One that adds value to Poison counters. Upon an opponent having 10 Poison counters, the game is ended. The Corrupted mechanic allows permanents to have...
