Weeks ago, I had doubts of joining the Gameswalker 50k Tournament in Bacolod City this coming September 14th, 2019. This was mainly because of my plan to only participate in the Philippines Judges Conference that will be held on the next day Sunday. My reason is I will be on focus on the activities of the conferences including the topics talks, discussions and group exercises on the application of the concepts.
What prompted me this time to join the tournament? Me missing the competition and serious gameplay. This might be an opportunity for me to redeem my place in the community. I think I am getting rusty but a little polishing will do.
What also inspired me to play was that I was able to complete the Orzhov Vampires deck which recently had achieved a Tier 1 status in the Standard Metagame. While the other archetypes are somewhat prepared to face this matchup, I am pretty sure this can be overcome by the deck given the right cards in the sideboard and the right situations.
It is barely a month to go before the Gameswalker weekend and the team preparation is rigid. I suggest them to do the playtest daily and with decks from the recent results from tournaments online. Hopefully each day would be productive with the match results analyzed in the play-by-play scenario.
Will I be joining the main event? You will soon find out.
