Magic Octagon

About three weeks ago I started a weekly tournament of Magic the Gathering(MTG) trading card game (TCG)(MTG TCG in short) called the Weekly Magic Octagon. The summary of the goal of this tournament is to improve the Davao MTG population and promote a tournament feel for novices and newbies to the game .Basically I'll just summarize the three weeks of tourneys. 1st week the beta match we decided single matches four rounds,we had 2 late entries ,1st place was a guy named Philbert. 2nd week we had decided to make it best two out of three matches with four rounds, we had 2 more late entries, the 1st plcae was a Guy named Josh. 3rd week we had only 3 rounds due to lack of time, 1 late entry, and 1st place was still Josh.

Reveiwing our winners, 1st Philbert he played magic and quited 10 years ago, his term "I'm a fossil" was not really noted because he's in college. He plays YuGiOh TCG and recently joined MTG again, because of my group's recent propaganda and promotion of the said game. He's an expert YuGiOh Player and with his TCG street smarts he dominated the first beta tourney. 2nd is Josh, the current champion, a credited to the defence he runs in his deck giving him just enough shielding to build up and over power his opponent. His weak spot as verbalized are control decks(specifically counter cards), He calls counters "evil", and since nobody ran contol decks he dominated the two tourneys.
