Hey all. I hope you all had a good Magic: the Gathering Zendikar prerelease weekend opening your desired fetchlands, Planeswalkers and other good cards. I just felt bad because Saturday was also the day that the tropical storm Ondoy ravaged our nation’s capital Manila and the nearby provinces. Casualties and death are still increasing as of the moment and I hope those people affected get enough help to return their lives to normal.

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.

On Day 1 of the Philippine Open which is an Alara Block format, I decided to pilot my friend’s 5 color aggro.

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 →

Yesterday was a fun-filled Magic2010 Coreset Prerelease for us here in Magic: the Gathering Iloilo community. Although the participants were lessened to 18 players, it was still an enjoyment for us to open those M10 packs and the excitement of getting the chased rares. Too bad for me as none of my starting six booster packs have the rares that I wanted. The good thing though is that the deck has a lot of limited bombs.
