Hey all, I do hope your week started right and Magical in the MTG sense and opening some good cards from  your booster packs and winning your local tournaments. I am writing this blogpost as a sort of a local tournament update for the Iloilo community.

For the information of everyone, the Saturday Standard event is already in full motion as the regulars are in full attendance every week. I myself was a witness last Saturday as we were fourteen players in total for the tournament and was started in the right time schedule. Our card pool were able to build a competitive Standard deck to start our weekly grind and so I was the first to pilot it. I finished in a 2-2 record. So that is about it, Saturday Standard is a weekly regular tournament for MTG Iloilo.

The next tournament that we hope to finally push through is the Friday Night Magic with Pioneer as the format. It was in the talks months ago with our local TO and the regular players has agreed to build their decks henceforth. Rei Coo has even ordered some Pioneer Challenger decks to cater those players who have no initial card pool to begin their deck builds. Considering that most of the players still have the cards for the MTG sets years back, it will just be a little adjustment for the list given that the same strategy from the set’s Standard days are also reflected in Pioneer. The Mono Red Aggro deck for example.

I have talked with Rei last weekend and he is planning to have the first Pioneer FNM tournament this coming Friday. I will post an update once it is a go. That is about it for now, until the next blog post.
