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?

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!

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
