For the quick Magic: the Gathering workshop update, I have finally made the program flow outline along with the materials that I would need. A big thanks to the recent lecture of Ma’am Marfil in our DURP class with regards to conducting workshops. I would pattern this to the guidelines our teacher gave and also reflect on my experiences on the previous seminars and workshop that I have attended.

I would have each attendee registered with their name, email and contact number so as it would be easy to contact them for follow up events and future tournaments. Given the venue capacity, I would just prefer to have a maximum of 30 participants so each could be easily accommodated. That is if I have enough staff to assist me.

The workshop has a pseudo-formal theme, with the introduction of the speaker and statement of the objectives and end of the day goals. This will be followed by the Introduction to Magic: the Gathering and its history, and rules of the game discussion. An activity will then be conducted with the participants grouped into pairs and given the 30-card demo deck. An actual Magic: the Gathering game will be done, with the application of the rules discussed earlier. Let us just hope that they are attentive enough to remember the topics.

Now the next step would likely be asking my contacts on their school activities so as to know their schedule and apply my interest to include my workshop to their lineup. Probably I would write a formal letter to them.

Stay tuned as I process this activity and probably before the year ends, I would be able to conduct my first MTG workshop.
