Last Sunday was the first phase of the World Magic Cup Qualifiers and was held in Alphaland Southgate Mall in Manila. My preparation for that event was not that concentrated and I only made references from the recent PT Magic 2015 and the M15 Gameday Iloilo. I made the list within one week before the tournament and did most of the playtest on Magic Workstation. Here is the deck I called ‘Rabble Rakdos Midrange’:
