Hey all, Happy Monday. I do hope you guys started your week right whether at work or at home. Anyways, today is another Magic: the Gathering topic.

Choose one booster pack for entry and after a definite number of participants have been reached, each pack will be opened one by one and will check on what will be the highest card in the value of that pack. That is, comparing its value in the current price market.

This is one of my current dilemmas for MTG Iloilo. The current scenario of recruiting new players to join the community is quite a challenge. This is mainly because of the lack of public events such as the hobby conventions wherein we can present the TCG and hold a learn-to-play session to teach them the basic game rules. As of this posting, I have not yet heard of a local event dedicated entirely to hobbies and scheduled for the rest of the year.
