It is time for Change!: Kaldadesh Prerelease Edition

Welcome back loyal readers of the War Torn Front blog.

Today we are talking about a significant change coming to our Prerelease events for Magic. This change will occur with Kaladesh coming up September 24-25th. Intrigued about whats going on? Well lets dive into it.

Prereleases are now only three Swiss rounds

The staff at War Torn Front has been discussing a change to the number of rounds for Prereleases for quite some time. While it has been great offering players more time to play in their respective Prerelease flights there have been issues. Many times players have had prerelease flights run over into another prerelease flight they are scheduled to play in. In addition, the Midnight Prerelease often took a longer bit of time and many players complained about the finish time for this event.

After taking into consideration many options to help reduce the time constraints and make these events fly more smoothly, the team at War torn Front came to a consensus.

Going forward, all prerelease events will only be a maximum of three rounds.

We feel that be cutting a round out of each of the prereleases, the amount of time gained will act as a great buffer for our other events. This also gives players an additional hour to get food, relax, or even just go home an hour earlier.

As a result, prize support for each of the prereleases is changing to reflect the loss of the extra round we used to have. The new prize structure for the prereleases are the following:

Sealed Prerelease Prize Support

W-L-D

3-0-0: 8 Packs or $24 Store Credit
2-0-1: 6 Packs or $18 Store Credit
2-1-0: 4 Packs or $12 Store Credit
1-1-1: 2 Packs or $6 Store Credit

Two Headed Giant Prerelease Prize Support ( per team)

W-L-D

3-0-0: 16 Packs or $48 Store Credit
2-0-1: 12 Packs or $36 Store Credit
2-1-0: 8 Packs or $24 Store Credit
1-1-1: 4 Packs or $12 Store Credit 

You may also have noticed on our event page that there is only one Two Headed Giant Prerelease for Kaladesh. At this point, we are scaling back the Two Headed Giant event on Sunday to create room for another single prerelease flight for you, our players. We will continue to monitor the response to just having one Two-Headed Giant event and modify further prereleases if the response is clear that you, the players, would love to have Two Headed Giant return on Sundays.

This may require some getting used to, but we want you, the players, to know we are listening and trying to implement your ideas and suggestions into our business.

Until next time, ladies and gentlemen
