MtG Revolt at Robinsons Tourney Summary


This is quite a bit late but nevertheless, I will write a summary of the event. Last March 18 to 19 we held another tournament in which the place was sponsored by Robinsons Jaro. We called it the MtG Revolt at the Robinsons. The first day, Saturday accommodated the Standard tournament with 14 players in attendance. After four Swiss rounds, the Top finishers were:

1st, Raymund (Mardu Vehicles)
2nd, Ace (4 Color Copycat)
3rd, JayR (Mardu Vehicles)
4th, Mark T (4 Color Copycat)
5th, Mark Ian (4 Color Copycat)

We also accommodated the previous new players from WVSU who last time played at Critical Hit. A few of the card packages I prepared were distributed to them and they happily brew new ones and updated their current decks. Here are the pictures from Day 1.

Sunday’s schedule was Duel Commander and I am happy to share that we had 16 players in attendance. I think that was the highest number of participants on record for this format. That was still four rounds of Swiss though and after the matchups, the top finishers were:

1st, Mark Ian (Zurgo, Bellstriker)
2nd, Raoul (Geist of Saint Traft)
3rd, Glifford (Breya, Reanimator)
4th, Oliver (Vial/Kraum, Partner control)
5th, Jason (Titania, Protector of Argoth)

It was an impressive showing for the Red Commander deck, Zurgo as well as the UW Tempo Commander deck, Geist of Saint Traft. We both went 3-0 before deciding to draw the last round and divide with us the prized Aether Revolt booster packs.

There were lesser new faces or those who were interested to learn the game during the event. I guess that was because I didn’t make much announcement of the activities and also did not prepare enough. It was a small event but then maybe next time we advertise it more, with an online poster in various Iloilo local and hobby groups.

We do not know yet the next schedule that Rob will permit us again to play at their mall but I am hoping this time it will be improved.

Until the next post.
