Why play Modern at EPIC Ipswich?

If you read the title, you should know a more accurate title would be "Why aren't you playing Modern at EPIC Ipswich?"

The Community

Modern is perhaps our most popular Magic Night here at EPIC Ipswich, as I'm typing this blogpost, we currently have 26 Players still on their first round of the night. It's a testament to the loyal Modern Community in Ipswich, most people that play Modern with our local players end up becoming close friends, all incredibly grateful players that tease and support each other.

The Leagues

Modern at EPIC originally started with the local community wanting to play in a league (The Modern Masters League). Now known as the Aus Magic League, the Ultimate Guard sponsored, multi store league sees people accumulate points to compete in the finals and win some goodies along the way.

In addition to the Aus Magic League, EPIC has it's own EPIC Battle League, which tallies the accumulated points from the weekly plays and lets the top 8 battle it out for cash prizes before its season close on the Saturday which is open to all that attended 70% of all games throughout the league (READ MORE ABOUT IT HERE).

Finals for both leagues are already being held at EPIC Ipswich so why not get familiar with the territory and store ahead of time?

FREE BOOSTERS!

All new players on Modern receive a free Promo pack and everyone who plays on the night receives a free Modern Horizons II Set Booster!

Prizes

Of course if you make it to the top 3 you win some goodies

1st Place Wins - 2 Set Boosters and a Draft Booster of their choice

2nd Place Wins - A Set Booster and Draft Booster of their choice

3rd Place Wins - A Set Booster of their choice

*Prizes exclude Double Masters 2022 and Modern Horizons II

Finally I want to share some behind the scenes details that the Benevolent Owners (who the Modern Community affectionately refer to as 'Store Daddy' and 'Store Mummy' run all our Magic the Gathering events as cost-neutral. They are very strong believers in cultivating and supporting the gaming community and making their profits on food, drinks and retail stock. Our final for the EPIC Battle league works out cost neutral and factors in the cost of the MH2 Set Boosters when covering the cost of entry and Prize Support. This community means a great deal to me and even more to them.

Thank you to our amazing Modern Community and it is my hope that we may yet welcome more Magic the Gathering Players to the format and our store in the following weeks.

Your Friend and Ally,

Lachy

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 ...

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....
