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 ScrublandJason 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.
