Goodbye, 2016. The past year was somewhat an unpleasant one for my personal life though at least the Magic: the Gathering Iloilo Community garnered another recognition with Mark Tubola’s Finalist finish at Grand Prix Kuala Lumpur. The other achievement I think was the increase of the new players and those who have become interested of the game. I am hoping of this trend to continue this 2017 and I will do my best in catering them to stay and enjoy this hobby.

Mark Lawrence Tubola finished in 2nd place in GP Kuala Lumpur last October

We welcome another year of MtG gaming and one relevant tournament for this year will be Grand Prix Manila in June. Aether Revolt is on the horizon for this month and two more sets to go to define the Standard metagame for this GP event.

News for the community is that Critical Hit will now be hosting weekly Friday Night Magic and will start this coming Friday, January 6. Players will now have two game store choices to go to and play. It will now be more convenient for peeps from the Jaro and Mandurriao district. I will be posting the details on this blog and at the MtG Iloilo FB page soon.

Anyhow, let us wrap up this post. Set your goals and be a better of yourself this year. Happy New Year geists!
