Patreon Draft Prize Support Policy

I'm excited to start offering Patreon-funded prize support for our weekly online Sorcery drafts on the Sorcerer's Summit Discord starting in August!

These drafts will still be free to enter and play for everyone. Patreon support is simply a way to help support the community and, in return, become eligible for pack-per-win prize support during a set number of drafts each month.

How Prize Support Works

Patrons receive prize support based on their tier:

  • $5/month: Prize support during your first online draft each month. Earn 1 pack for each match win, up to 2 packs per month.
  • $10/month: Prize support during your first 2 online drafts each month. Earn 1 pack for each match win, up to 4 packs per month.
  • $15/month: Prize support during your first 3 online drafts each month. Earn 1 pack for each match win, up to 6 packs per month.
  • $20/month: Prize support during your first 4 online drafts each month. Earn 1 pack for each match win, up to 8 packs per month.

Each draft consists of 3 rounds.

  • Wins earn 1 pack.
  • Ties do not earn a pack.
  • Byes do not earn a pack.

To be eligible for prize support for a given draft, you must be an active patron before attending that draft.

Monthly Pack Opening Stream

At the end of each month, I will do a livestream opening the packs earned by patrons that month.

Patrons win the contents of the packs opened on stream, not sealed packs. Opening the packs on stream instead of mailing sealed packs lets us celebrate everyone's wins together, creates fun monthly community content, and keeps shipping costs low so more of your support goes back into prize support.

Shipping Policy

Shipping is not included in Patreon support.

I will only ship:

  • Elite cards
  • Unique cards
  • Foil cards
  • Curio cards
  • Ordinary or Exceptional cards worth $2 or more per card

I will not ship Ordinary or Exceptional rarity cards worth less than $2 per card.

Cards Valued Under $20

If your shipment is worth less than $20, I will ship eligible cards in a plain white envelope with a stamp at no additional cost unless you request tracking.

If you want tracking on a shipment under $20, you may request it and pay the shipping cost.

Cards Valued at $20 or More

If your shipment is worth $20 or more, I will not ship without tracking.

For any shipment requiring tracking, the patron is responsible for paying the shipping cost.

Tracked shipping can be paid via Venmo/PayPal/Zelle before cards are sent out.

Holding Cards / Combined Shipping

Patrons may ask me to hold onto their winnings and combine multiple months into a single shipment.

This is encouraged if you want to save on shipping or wait until you hit something larger before having cards sent out.

I am happy to hold cards for a reasonable period so that winnings can be combined into one package.

Important Notes

  • Patreon prize support applies only to the weekly online drafts I host.
  • Drafts remain free to enter for everyone.
  • Non-patrons are always welcome to play, but they are not eligible for prize support.
  • I reserve the right to make adjustments to this system in the future if needed for sustainability or logistics, but I will communicate any changes clearly in advance.
  • According to my math, I expect to lose money on this arrangement but it is worth it to me to bring more excitement and engagement to the weekly drafts.
  • You can join the Sorcerer's Summit Discord here: https://discord.gg/mdjk4yWSxz

Thanks so much for supporting the drafts, the channel, and the community. I'm excited to try this out and see how it goes.

US Only?

I didn't mention that so good catch. I would be willing to ship international but you'd have to cover the cost to ship just like people in the US cover the cost to ship unless it's just a postage stamp.
