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

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...
