A Recap of the Bacolod Gameday Trip

The last weekend of May was scheduled for the Dragon’s Maze Gameday event. We had one here in Iloilo on that Saturday, and in Bacolod on a Sunday. Even if I didn’t performed well enough in the local shores and just reached the quarterfinals, I decided to give the deck another shot on Bacolod DGM Gameday.

We initially planned with the group to go there, but last-minute schedule mishap (as well as other factors) made the others unable to join. Oliver and I ended up going there, representing Team Iloilo. I arrived at Bacolod at 11:30 am via Ocean Jet and immediately contacted Sir Anton.

The event was held at O-hotel (which was owned by one of the players there) and started at around 1 pm. 21 players registered for the tournament, with 5 rounds of gameplay. I piloted the same Jund Midrange while Oliver brought Bant Hexproof. Here is a summary of my results per round.

Round 1 – Won.
Round 2 – paired with Oliver, so it was a draw.
Round 3 – Won.
Round 4 – Lost
Round 5 – Lost

The last round should’ve ended with a draw as the game against Junk Tokens was very intense and full of action plays. It was a win-and-in scenario, and if we drew, we would be both eliminated. I decided to just concede to the player to give him a shot at the top 8. We just arranged the prize packs split.

Joma piloting Naya Blitz ended up winning the event after going undefeated in the first 5 rounds. The deck’s just pure & fast beatdown.

We had dinner at a BBQ restaurant after that and went to their tambayan near the San Agustin School for a night of booze. Their place surely is a one-stop shop. The Bacolod peeps are truly friendly and accommodating to us, so kudos to you guys. Big Thanks!
