Hi all. It has been a while since the last post with discussions in it. As you may have noticed, we have installed new template. A big thanks to Mao for that one. Also, the weekly tournaments has been added an additional schedule every Sundays which started last October 31, 2010. The venue is at JAQs bar at Smallville complex and starts every Sunday afternoon at 3pm. That’s three days of mana-tapping pleasure for you guys.
Going back, this post is a summary discussion of the three tournaments held last weekend (Nov. 12 to 14, 2010). To recall, here are the winners and the decks they’ve piloted.


When: September 25, 2010, 1pm
Where: Rei’s Place, Iloilo City (near Robinsons Iloilo)
Registration Fee: TBA
Tournament Type: Sealed Format

Playing and competing in Magic has been getting tough, especially on the financial aspect. Most powerful cards nowadays, costs you a minimum of 500 pesos, and you really have to spend thousands to build a “so-called” Tier 1 deck. Most people (including myself) blame the Mythic rarity as the cause of this sudden rise in card prices, though we just have to deal with it. The problem now is for the beginners who wants to play competitive Magic but does not have the financial capacity to do so.
The recent release of the core set Magic 2011 offered us new options for a tribe-type deck. Vampires replaced its lord Nocturnus with a captivating one, though I still go for the first one as evation is much preferred rather than permanent +1/+1 pump. The new set also offered a lord, Knight Exemplar, for the new tribe for white. The powerful ability of giving indestructibility to its kins (as well as the +1/+1 boost) gave me an idea of checking the rest of the Knights in the current Standard format.
