This is a recap of the tournament. Upon registration ... i recieved some nice foils and a pack of DCI lands (all 5 colors). There were 36 players on that day and I have to play 6-rounds of swiss. 1st round I was again Mark Pui with his Blink deck, I was lucky to have the win cuz he DQ and reason why is, Mark uses Stone Rain which is not re-printed in 10th ed. 2nd round was against La Faber and he was also piloting Blink and I lost that game. The 3rd-6th rounds, I decided not to keep any records of who am I playing with cuz Im always the last player to complete my match ... im playing contol deck .. thats why. Anyway the 3rd-6th rounds, I was defeated by another Blink decks, draw against a Solar Flare deck (I think), won Korlash Control deck and the last match I lost to a Korlash Control deck. My result was 2-3-1 .. thats means 2 wins, 3 loss and 1 draw and my rank 23rd for that tourney. Got a Future Sight boosters as a prize.

My MVP cards .. yeah, there's 2, Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir and Aeon Chronicler. My wins and draw all came from those 2 cards. The most useless card I have in my deck is Arcanis the Omipotent, always in my hands. I should have replace it with Venser, Shaper Savant.

Overall, I enjoy myself. My next tournaments will be the PTQ Valencia (Block constructed), that will be happening on August 5, 2007, the deck I will be using either Pizza Stomy or Dralnu, and the other one is Nationals Qualifiers (Type2), is on August 19, 2007. This will be the last chance to ever qualify for the Nationals. So ... guess .. i have to practice, practice and practice.

Well .. thats all the recap I can think of. I will be doing another recap on the PTQ Valencia.
