The opening of the Magic: the Gathering Set Booster packs on live sell is still ongoing for me despite our Standard card pool in almost 100% complete. This might be on testing my luck despite some of these other cards being already available and on hand. Maybe with the chance of selling them to the other players in the community?

I have experienced it from FB live sells of game stores where you have them choose which packs to open on the box.

The main reason for doing the preorder of sealed Magic: the Gathering products and single cards is to securely acquire the cards first-hand on their release dates. For my take, I did some preorders so I could do an unboxing video for each of them and also as an update for my YT channel. New unboxing content perhaps?

The Magic: the Gathering Iloilo has been in the talks as to what will be the next schedule of weekly tournaments aside from the usual Saturday Standard which has been the regular event in the past weeks.
