Scheduling tournaments for the new players can be hard at times as you should check and adjust to their schedule at school. Last Saturday’s Standard Pauper tournament was attended by 8 players, and the number was completed at the last minute.

The day before it was only two players that confirmed attendance and at that time I was already prepared to cancel the event but then I was not lost in hope. I then inquired again that night for the other possible players and even offered them to lend decks for them to use. Good thing two to three players from WVSU agreed to play and I just adjusted the tournament start time for them, from 11am to around 12 noon.

Arriving at Rei’s place the next morning at 11:30am, there were already 5 players available to play. I gave one deck I built which was a Black White midrange deck to Romielyn for her to pilot. I made another spare deck, Red/Green Aggro, which I also lend to Benedict and he was the last player to complete the 8 slot. That means a quick three rounds of gameplay and I expected it to be done just before the main Standard event in the afternoon.

After three rounds of gameplay, here are the Top 3 finishers:

1st, Jan Bedia (B/G Reanimator)
2nd, Benedict Esperancilla (R/G Aggro)
3rd, Ace Baron (U/R Ping)

8 players, 3 rounds gameplay

Here are some pics I took during the course of the event:
