Season 2 of the The EPIC Battle League

 

Just under a week since the final of Season 1, and as excited as we are, next season will start in 2023. We have received a lot of feedback and can promise you we are not taking any of it lightly. We have heard and look forward to implementing some of the following changes for next season:

NOTE - These are ideas and we cannot promise that all these changes will come into effect

Changes to Thursday Night

Once our new member cards (you read that right) come in, we can allow people a 10% discount off all magic products. This is due to the $17 Modern Horizon II boosters going out of stock, whilst we give one away with the $15 entry, this business model is not going to last long and needs to change. By allowing 10% off, it equates to around the same discount our players are already receiving.

Prizes will also change on Thursday. We want to reward the hard work of players, however we don't want people to feel the need to play for sheep stations and be discouraged from not getting to the top 3. That's why we are considering the inclusion of a Lucky Door prize each week.

Changes to the League

The top 8 play off in the league is being considered, we are thinking about removing the top 8 playoff on the final week and instead rewarding the top 8 with free entry to the finals.

Speaking of the finals, we are now looking at making the Saturday event open to everyone (in the league and out of the league), however if you've played at epic for 70% of the league, we will discount the cost of entry on the Saturday Final.

Jene of Jene's MTG fame is also going to be sponsoring next season. Having the finals be open will enable more people to attend not just his store but the event as a whole. EPIC Ipswich does not like alienating players and the idea last season was to incentivise attendance to the 12 weeks of Modern. 

Deck lists will now be required to be locked in by week 9 and deck checks will occur.


Theres lots of other changes we are considering and we are open to taking all future feedback and adjusting our plans to tailor to the community. For now, the league is on break but Modern is still being played weekly!

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...
