War Torn Front Game Center Holiday Update

Happy Holidays to all of your wonderful guys and gals! Welcome to another edition of War Torn Front's Blog News Update.

Today, I will be talking about some changes coming to the month of December alongside some new sales going into effect starting today.

Magic Booster Packs

As many are aware, Wizards has been raising the prices of Magic Packs to help compensate for new programs and new product experiences. These price changes help give Wizards more funding to create new and exciting programs for all of us to enjoy. Thanks to the price increase, we are now seeing events like Standard Showdown, Sealed Leagues, and many more supplemental product releases like the Planechase Anthology and the Commander 2016 Products.

However, retail stores do have to adjust their prices from time to time to compensate monetary wise with bringing in these new and exciting products and play experience. War Torn Front is no exception to this rule.

Going forward, Booster Packs of Standard sets will be $3.79 or $3.49 if you buy 3 or more Booster Packs.

This change will help offset the price increase on product and play experiences we will be offering. 

However, we would like to hear your feedback on this change. Let us know in the comments below so we can better serve you, our customers.
