We finally found a much better way to make Standard tournaments fire up; quick pods.
Starting next week (Tuesday), we will be running on-demand 3 round Standard tournaments. These are Standard tournaments that are run like they are booster drafts. Entry fee would be Php 88 and the pods will start as soon as we get 8 players (16 players max). This is a sure way for us to run Standard tournaments that is sure to fit your schedule; whatever it may be.
Our initial run was held yesterday and we were able to succesfully run 2 pods.

Highlights from last week
Treasure Found!
As you all may know, we have just recently ran out of Zendikar products for booster drafts. We still have a few packs left for retail though, and one lucky Magic player cracked open a treasure.

Mulong Torres opens a Scrubland
Jason Ascalon wins 8-man Standard tourney.
Since we do not have drafts anymore, our local players started pulling out their 60 card decks and played Standard. Jason Ascalon won last Thursday's Standard tourney playing a UWr control homebrew.
Nick Ortega is on to something.
I was building a homebrew BW vampire deck when Nick sat in front of me. He said with conviction: "Why are you building that deck? Are you gonna bring it to Worlds? Thats not even a deck!". I did finish last Thursday's Standard tourney with a 2-1 record beating Jund and RW. I thought that the deck was ok and so I played it in the Wii tourney at Eastwood last Saturday. I finished with a dismal 2-4 record. If that was not bad enough, 2 other decks that I built; piloted by Jhay Jaro and Macho Jaro also had dismal finishes.
Marcel Zafra is also on to something.
A 17th-place finish by the Pinoy who migrated to Canada made almost everyone in the country very happy. The Titan draft community analyzed his PT drafts and had mixed reactions mainly on his 1st pick Grazing Gladehart. For veteran drafters, it seemed like a really bad pick. If you have had a fair share of Zendikar drafts, this card is actually a viable high pick but not necessarily pick 1. The format is really quick and life gain can be a very good strategy. Vic Lim finished 3-0 beating mono-red in the finals of one of our Saturday practice drafts. The MVP's were 2 copies of the said card.
Magic Online is online again.
Since we do not have enough Zendikar products for drafting, I went back to playing in the Magic Online draft queues. Draft reports will be published again soon.

The man from Grixis wins the darkest draft ever
A Meralco transformer reportedly blew up and caught fire last night leaving Rizal and a great part of the Pasig and Mandaluyong areas with no electricity. We were a few minutes into round 2 of the draft when this happened and so we were forced to play the remaining games with candle-light. Congratulations to Nick Ortega and thanks to all who played.

Exotic Pets available for ordering
We now know for a fact that a store cannot depend solely on Lotus Cobras to generate sufficient income. We will be selling real reptiles, arachnids, feeder animals, and other small critters and accesories. A few will be displayed on the store and the rest will be strictly on order basis for sanitary reasons.
Please read before ordering:
- Google is your friend. Please do your research before buying.
- Pictures of these animals are all over the internet. Again, Google is your friend.
- Specimens are UNSEXED unless otherwise noted.
- All animals are sold healthy and feeding unless otherwise noted. No other guarantee is implied.
- Aside from those that are displayed on the store; I do not entertain requests to view the specimen.
- Most of the animals cannot be displayed mainly for sanitary reasons. It would also be cruel to keep them in a facility that does not simulate their natural habitat. Lastly, maintenance will be very difficult if they are kept at the store.
We will be taking orders from buyers and the animals will be turned over on the "delivery date". We need ample time to prepare the animals for delivery so please take note of the cutoff date for orders.
Partial or full payment is required for us to process your order. Availability may change without prior notice, those who have paid in full are guaranteed to get their order on the said delivery date.
