The Brothers War - A brief introduction to EPIC Ipswich and the new MTG Prerelease


It may not be Urza's Saga but Urza is back baby and this time he has a Planeswalker card (kinda).

Whilst I could hype up the things Im excited about in this upcoming set this blog post is not a fluff piece but made to inform you about Prerelease at EPIC Ipswich. EPIC Ipswich will be running two Prereleases with the first happening on Friday Night as Sealed and on the Saturday day with Jumpstart.


Sealed Prerelease (Friday)

EPIC Ipswich is running a sealed prerelease on Friday the 11th of November at 6:00 PM. Entry is $45 includes a prerelease kit in addition to a set booster from the new set. Announcements are held at 6:15 PM with deck construction happening from 6:15 - 7:00 PM (7:15 PM if more time is needed). Pairings will be run on  event link with an additional set booster added to your prize pool for each round you won. Ideally four rounds due to time constraints but will depend on turn out. Remember to see us before leaving for your prizes.

Jumpstart Prerelease (Saturday)

We trialled this with Dominaria United and have learnt from that experience. We are very excited to declare we will be continuing Jumpstart Prereleases moving forward. Our Jumpstart prerelease is scheduled for Saturday the 12th of November and will start at 12:00 PM. Entry is $35 and covers the cost of the Jumpstart packs. Players will be issued 3 packs at random and may build a deck with 2 of the 3 packs. No deck alterations after you start playing. Games will start at 12:30. Prizes will be awarded however with the recent announcement of Player List only Jumpstart Prereleases, we are still finalising the details on prize distribution.

What can I buy on Prerelease week?

Throughout the week of Prerelease, EPIC Ipswich can sell all products, from Bundles and Commander Decks to Set and Collector Boosters. We can even sell Booster Pack products in any increment and patrons may buy and sell singles. This is the first time a prerelease week has allowed sales outside of whole boxes and the first time bundles, commander decks and singles have been able to be sold. This does not mean that these cards are legal in formats this week. 

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.  ...

It was 2AM on the 19th of August and whilst the rest of my household was sleeping, I was watching YouTube. Am I a chronic insomniac? Yes. Am I currently typing this in my cardboard box that I now live in at EPIC? Also yes. Am I excited to tell you about the new and upcoming stuff from Magic the Gathering and Dungeon and Dragons parent company Wizards of the Coast?.... If you haven't been able to infer what I'm saying, Wizards of the Coast recently did a live stream to promote their upcoming material they're releasing for their major games MTG and D&D, this was at 2AM Australian Time on YouTube.
