Last Saturday we saw finally an activity in our local Magic: the Gathering Iloilo community. That is because we were finally able to hold our tournament via the Magic Arena platform. I sense the local players were very eager to play Magic again but because of the several weeks of ECQ here in Iloilo City, even the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Prerelease was moved to a later date.

Anywho, about 14 players signed up for a Saturday night schedule (from the initial 16 players) and we used Discord for the pairings, decklist, and rankings. That means four rounds of gameplay and the Standard deck archetypes expected were from the Top Tier list in the metagame currently. Examples are Sultai Control, Temur Adventures, and Mono-Red Aggro.

Here below is the final ranking after four rounds of Standard gameplay.
