The ANZ Super Series - Our store Qualifier!

Normally closed on Sundays, on the 11th of September EPIC Ipswich had other plans. After rescheduling our originally planned ANZ Super Series on Thursday the 25th of August, we finally saw the day come around.

Magic players arrived early to gloss over the cabinet of singles, pay for entry, register and receive their promos. After a long day of play (originally starting at 11 AM and finishing late afternoon) the top 8 were announced for the Quarter Finals, all of which won a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx alt art Promo card.

Congratulations to our Top 8

  1. Torin Kelderman
  2. Stephen Klease
  3. Matthew Macinante
  4. Heath Manning
  5. Taylor McCormick
  6. Thomas Barker
  7. Andrew Virgona
  8. Carl Frankel
Semi-Finals saw Stephen Klease battle against the triumphant Torin Kelderman.
A huge congratulations to Torin Kelderman who ventured all the way from Toowoomba to represent our local MTG community at the finals down in Sydney later this year.

In addition to a ticket into the Final Torin also received $300 ($100 of which covers the cost of entry) from EPIC Ipswich, goodies from the series sponsor Ultimate Guard and a Dominaria United Collector Booster!

We wish him all the best and are cheering him on, I for one would personally like to see someone from South-East Queensland qualify for the Pro-Tour!

A couple of closing thank yous. I would like to add to our Judge for the tournament, Warren, thank you for overseeing the day's festivities and keeping me up to date in my absence from the event. I also want to thank the amazing community of local magic players for supporting our store and keeping the game we all love alive and in person!

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....

What is Adventurers League?

  Adventurers League is a standardised and regulated form of Dungeons & Dragons . It uses the rules as written in the official D&D books, so you don't need to worry about any homebrew rules. Character creation is limited to the Players Handbook and one other source, which means you don't have to worry about anyone making characters that are too game-breaking, as well as all the possible worlds you can end up in are all published D&D settings  To put it simply, Adventurers League takes all of the guesswork out of D&D. The stories are already written, the rules are plainly outlined, and everything is structured. So it is a great place to learn as a player and even as a Game Master  Each session is a short self-contained 2-4 hour story, though some will make callbacks to other stories you won't miss much if you can only come in once a fortnight instead of every week, unlike other games where it always feels like when you miss one session you end up missing ...
