You’ve read the header right. Tonight will be the return of Wednesday Night Magic for Magic: the Gathering Iloilo and this first event will have the Standard format. We have agreed that the venue will be at Charlie’s on Magsaysay Rd, Lapaz as offered earlier by Ralph. I am hoping for minimum attendance this time even as we have announced it with the group and page on Facebook. Below are the details of the tournament:

Wednesday Night Magic (Standard)
February 21, 2018
6:00pm
Reg. 90php
RIX booster prizes
Venue: Charlie’s burger (Free Iced tea to all participants)

We have held Magic: the Gathering tournaments on weekdays aside from the usual FNM and had the formats, Standard, Standard Pauper, and Modern. That was when players were actively participating and willing to spend their weeknights competing in a match of Magic the Gathering. That was way before the Return to Ravnica and Theros Standard era.

This year, we are reconsidering that tournament again. Regularization of the Wednesday Night Magic tournament can be possible if given that there is a venue that can stay up late until 10:00 pm. ProRei’s place would not be an option right now as Rei is still going to the office before 9:00 pm and it would be a nuisance if he would still hold a tournament hours before.

Players are willing to grind points in Standard just before this year’s cutoff date which will be at the end of March. This will be their other tournament option aside from the proposed Sunday events, along with the weekly FNM and Standard Showdown tourneys. We have already seen the date for the Philippine Nationals, and also most of the players have already booked a plane ticket to participate in that event in Manila. This Wednesday hopefully will be the first return tournament and we needed to advertise more of this event in order to garner additional players. However, there is still no final venue as of this posting. We will post an official event announcement as soon as possible.
