The Team’s preparation for the Standard every time a new set arrives is hastened due to the combined efforts of the members to contribute an amount every week for the funds to buy the cards. Even with the delays in the arrival of Guilds of Ravnica products to the local game stores from which we should open the single cards, we still considered buying the components from online sellers in Manila. We somewhat completed these decks by the end of October.

Below are the current Standard decks, which are finally built and ready to play.
1. Jeskai Control
2. Mono Red Aggro
3. Mono-Blue Tempo
4. Izzet Phoenix
5. Golgari Explore
6. Selesnya Tokens

The Boros Aggro is still in its final phase as there are a few cards left to acquire before its completion. There is a current conflict in the components as the card Legion’s Landing is also used in the Selesnya Tokens deck. We might need to purchase another playset for the Boros Weenie Aggro deck to utilize.

The next major tournament here in Iloilo City will be on December 2, 2018, with the Preliminary Pro Tour Qualifier. We had not finalized the venue, but I am pretty sure that this will be a highly attended event and that the competitive level is the same. I will be having a separate blog post for the tournament details.

That is a wrap for the team deck updates. Until the next post, and have a happy Thursday.
