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.

Last Friday, I decided to tweak my Mono White Kithkins deck by splashing blue for Negate. The mono-white list was based on Daniel de Almeida Alves’ Kithkins list that got first place in GP Sao Paulo. Here’s my mono-white Kithkins list.

Hey guys. Just to keep back on track with updates, I decided to share with you my experience on our local Alara Reborn Prerelease last Saturday. You might be asking why it’s a prerelease since the scheduled date was April 25. It’s because the product shipment was held by the Bureau of Customs. I didn’t know the real reason (and was too pissed to find out) why they did that but that really forced the local retailers to change the schedule a week later. Of course, a lot of players were disappointed with that delay but government crap can’t stop Magic players who enjoyed last weekend. I’m sure most of you too as this was also the schedule for the Release events.

The first was on Saturday and the second was last Monday, both in Standard format. I joined the tournament piloting R/W Lark which I was trying to master/get familiar with since February.
There are actually a few different builds I’ve found on the net and the main argument is whether to use Mindstones or not. I’ve tried Saito’s build (4 Mindstones, 4 Knight of the White Orchid, 22 Lands) but I didn’t like the deck that much. Its main problem is the mana screw. The other builds are basically metagame-based so I used that as a reference to come up with my list. Here’s the decklist I’ve piloted:

My friends and day shift colleagues have been playtesting Pauper decks on MWS in preparation for our upcoming month-end Pauper Magic tournament. The five of them started playtesting last week, holding mini tourneys every afternoon. So far, they have come up with great deck ideas for the tournament. Check out some of their build below.

Hey peeps. This topic came up in my mind and decided to write about it because I’ve noticed in our area that there are a lot of new Magic players who are afraid of joining our weekly tournaments. Yeah, I know they are still new to the game. I’ve been there too. That’s why maybe they’re afraid of losing or committing mistakes or something like that.
Here are the five things or reminders I came up with that I think can clarify to the newbies, or what we call in gaming terms as noob, why they shouldn’t be afraid.
