Back in January, I announced that we would soon be making some significant updates to both our content publishing and Star City Games Premium membership models, which would include a shift from our publishing primarily strategy/tournament-related content to our publishing primarily non-strategy/tournament-related content. I also noted that the change would be accompanied by updating our Star City Games Premium membership benefits to no longer include access to exclusive article content.
As of today, all Star City Games website article content is once again free for everyone to enjoy.
In that same announcement, I announced that we would soon be making some improvements to several of our current Star City Games Premium membership benefits, and beginning to offer some additional ones as well.
I’ll start by listing all of the Star City Games Premium membership benefits that have now been improved or added, then elaborate on each below!
✔️ 5% discount on sealed products, including preorders*!
✔️ 10% discount on card singles, including preorders*!
✔️ 20% discount on gaming supplies*!
✔️ Opportunities to purchase SCG-exclusive product variants, bundles, and limited-edition items!
✔️ Exclusive access to special deals and offers each week!
✔️ Advanced notice of Star City Games Weekly Sales!
✔️ Discounts at a variety of other Trading Card Game-related websites!
✔️ Star City Games General Manager Ben Bleiweiss’ TCG market/finance thoughts for the week!
5% Discount on sealed products, including preorders*!
This benefit was previously limited solely to Magic: The Gathering sealed products. It now also includes both Flesh and Blood and MetaZoo, and will include any additional sealed products we may add in the future!
10% Discount on card singles, including preorders*!
This benefit remains unchanged.
20% Discount on gaming supplies*!
This benefit previously offered members a 15% discount on gaming supplies, but has now been increased to 20%!
Opportunities to purchase SCG-exclusive product variants, bundles, and limited-edition items!
Of all of our newly added Star City Games Premium membership benefits, this is easily the one that I’m most excited about. Each of these limited-edition offerings will only be available to Star City Games Premium members, and we’ll be announcing the first one soon!
2018’s Magic: The Gathering Chandra #1 marked the first comic book appearances of Chandra Nalaar, Ajani Goldmane and Pia Nalaar. This Star City Games-exclusive version featured a variant cover by artist Victor Adame Minguez, and had a print-run of only 1,000 copies.
Exclusive access to special deals and offers each week!
Each week, we will be selecting one product, and offering it to our Star City Games Premium members at a special price for seven days. This benefit, and the three that follow, will all be included as part of our new Star City Games Premium member-exclusive weekly newsletter!
Advanced notice of all Star City Games Weekly Sales!
Every Monday, we launch a new sale on a particular category of products. For example, this week, we are offering 15% off of all Heavily Played (HP) condition cards on our website. Now that our Star City Games Premium members receive advance notice of next week’s sale, they will be able to make more informed purchasing decisions, and save money!
Discounts at a variety of other Trading Card Game-related websites!
We have recently begun partnering with a variety of TCG-related websites to offer our Star City Games Premium members additional savings on everything from officially licensed products to MTG Arena codes to Third-Party Collectible Card Grading services. The information needed to access these deals is frequently updated, but can always be found in our new Star City Games Premium member-exclusive weekly newsletter!
Star City Games General Manager Ben Bleiweiss’ TCG market/finance thoughts for the week!
When it comes to the business of trading card games, Star City Games’ General Manager, Ben Bleiweiss, is widely considered to be one of the most knowledgeable people in the world. Each week, Ben will now be sharing some of that knowledge in our new Star City Games Premium member-exclusive weekly newsletter!
Oh, and one final announcement for today…
Despite all of the improved and additional benefits listed above now being included as part of a Star City Games Premium membership, its cost will remain the same at just $7.99 per month!
Welcome to the new Star City Games Premium, and thank you for your continued support. <3
