Summer is coming up quickly, and the Planeswalkers are making a splash with a new event program spanning across two months for WPN stores in Australia and New Zealand—Summer of Magic!
Summer of Magic is a great opportunity for you to boost your community engagement with weekly Friday Night Magic events that are paired with incredible prizes for participants and winners—no matter what format you choose!
The festivities kick off December 1 with a Chaos Sealed event, supported with product kits that make running the event a breeze. Each kit contains the following items:
Your store will receive an allocation of product kits to purchase, so pick up as many kits as you may need to support the events through your preferred distributor.
A Chaos Sealed event works similarly to any other Sealed event you may host—players will open their Booster packs and build a deck with the cards inside, then face off in 3 rounds of Swiss matches to determine a winner.
The "chaos" element comes from the variety of packs used for each player's Sealed pool; it can be a fun challenge to discover ways to get each set to synergize together.
After December 1, the Summer of Magic event period runs until January 26, allowing you to run weekly Friday Night Magic events that cater to your community's preferences—be it Commander, Draft, Sealed, or more—while they earn sweet rewards for attending and winning games.
To support all your Summer of Magic events, you'll receive the following summery promotional items based on your community size:
There are two designs for the beach towels—one featuring the Planeswalkers your players know and love having a fun day at the beach, and the second featuring the Summer of Magic logo. You will receive two promo kit shipments: one in November to be used in December, and one in December to be used in January.
Provide one beach towel, one design for each month, to the winner of each week's Summer of Magic event while supplies last.
The magnets each feature one of the beach-ready Planeswalker designs (plus a relaxed koala)—provide one magnet to each participant while supplies last, including the winners of your Summer of Magic events. These magnets make an exciting reward for your Friday Night Magic players.
The sunglasses come in a variety of styles, each tying together the theme of summer fun. Players can expect to see designs with flower rims and bright colors like blue, pink, orange, and yellow. Provide one pair of sunglasses to each Summer of Magic participant.
On top of the above promotional items, you'll receive a poster to display prominently in-store to let all your walk-ins and regulars know that the Summer of Magic is on!
The poster will begin arriving this week, with your shipment of The Lost Caverns of Ixalan promotional items.
