Yes you’ve read it right folks. It was revealed today at our favorite Rumor Mill that there’s a comeback or should we say a functional reprint for Wrath of God in the form of the sorcery spell Day of Judgment. This will be provided as a promo card for Magic Full Box Promotion (just like the previous Honor of the Pure in M10) for participating store outlets. Check out the card, also with a very cool art by Kev Walker, below. Continue reading
I recently visited a site that linked me to AcidCow’s bikini pics of the lovely contestants of Miss Universe 2009. For your info, the Miss Universe 2009 contest will be held on Bahamas this coming August 23. I hope this time our Ms. Philippines contestant Bianca Manalo would garner a top spot in the contest.

Some of my other favorites of the Miss Universe 2009 bikini pics are Ms. Venezuela, Ms. Switzerland, Ms. Sweden and Ms. Israel. You can also check their pics at the official Ms. Universe site.
The recent slowdown in internet connection here in the country may have been caused by the quake that hit Japan yesterday. As quoted from this report, “While the exact cause is still to be confirmed, it is likely that the Japan earthquake which occurred yesterday, August 11, 2009 is the reason for the international cable faults.” The rest of the article here.

Hey peeps. This is actually a late post but hey, its better late than never. I just got too busy at work. Anyway, the trip was last Tuesday. After my off from work, I went to Jaro Plaza to meet with my brother who had invited me earlier to go to Roxas City to meet with his childhood classmate. I arrived there earlier and had to wait for about an hour (and also was fighting my sleepiness). He arrived around 7:30 in the morning, rested for a bit and we’re headed off to Roxas city.

Hi all. It’s been one week since I went to Manila to participate in the Magic: the Gathering Philippine Open 2009, together with the rest of Team Iloilo. To recall, Mao and Oliver got invites to the Nationals and the Phil. Open was the side event. They started well on the Standard part but got the losses on the Drafts. On Day 1 of the Philippine Open which is an Alara Block format, I decided to pilot my friend’s 5 color aggro. I started 1-2 and frustrated, decided to drop early because I wasn’t really comfortable with the deck’s lack of removal. I just went ahead and took some pictures of the Day One happenings and promised myself to get it back on the Standard format the next day. Continue reading
Hey guys. If you want to enjoy drafting but don’t have the budget, why not try the one booster draft. Here’s how it works:
What You Need
1. A booster pack
2. Some basic lands
The Rules
1. Each player picks a card from the pack and pass it to the direction agreed by the group. Do this until all the cards in the pack are drafted.
2. The players will then create a deck out of the chosen cards provided the deck will have a minimum of 25 cards and all the drafted cards must be used.
3. They will then be randomly paired and the game time will be the same with the normal time on regular drafts.
4. Each player starts at 15 life. Whoever gets his opponent’s life to zero wins.
5. The top four players after three rounds get the prizes, or you can make it cheaper and utilize the packs by picks by rank (i.e. the first place gets the first pick, and then the next pick for the 2nd placer and so on).
So there you have it. I hope you can try it and still enjoy drafting with just a booster to spend. 😀
p.s. watch out for the report of our trip to the MTG Philippine Open last weekend. Until next time.
