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

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....

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 ...
