This weekend will be the Prerelease of the Rivals of Ixalan set and the opportunity to get a firsthand experience of the new cards and the continuation of the adventures in Ixalan. The local Iloilo community has two events scheduled on Saturday and Sunday

, with Rei’s local game store and Critical Hit respectively. Rei’s venue will be at Robinsons Place Jaro. The registration fee is around P1,300 per entry and included is a Prerelease kit that includes six booster packs, a random foil Rare or Mythic Rare, a quick guide, and 20-sided dice.

If this is your first time joining a Prerelease, the basic things you would need to bring to the event are the following:

• Basic lands for the building of the sealed decks
• Sleeves to protect the new cards
• Deckbox for storage
• Dice for the counters and stuff
• Pen and paper for the life total

If preregistration is available, please do so as it will secure your slot in the tournament in cases where you are expecting a lot of walk-in players. Also, make sure that you have slept well the night before as the deck-building part might be a challenge for you.

See you all this weekend, though I won’t be around on Saturday and maybe I might be joining the Sunday PR schedule.
