High player attendance was observed in the last two Standard tournaments at Pro Reis place and I am very happy with it. First of was during the Friday Night Magic event wherein there was a total of 24 participants which made the place jam-packed with people wanting to spell sling on Standard. Here are the Top players after the Swiss rounds:

Come Saturday, Standard Showdown event is always preferred by the community because of the special Showdown booster pack prizes. Twenty players attended the tournament and here are the Top 4 after five Swiss rounds:

A big thanks for the support geists. I am hoping we can even it out with the other local gamestores’ events here in Iloilo City.
