Hello, my name is ....

27 July 2016

Hello everyone! Welcome to my page, Dear Tiyo Paeng!

My name is Paeng from Manila, Philippines. This page will contain mostly my Magic: The Gathering (MTG) opinion, thought and tournament experiences. Other topics that I will post here are food, travel and some daily experiences.

Going back to MTG, eternal is the format that I relish the most; more specifically legacy and modern. The Epic Storm (TES), Belcher, AnT, Burn and Five Peso Mono Green Stumpy are my legecy decks. As for modern, I have the following: UR Storm, Burn, URw Delver Tempo and Goblins.

It was the year 1996 when two of my classmate then introduced me this game. They thought me how to use fire, black-blue magic, and white sorcery. But what really interest me then was the brute strength that mono green team has to offer. My MTG playing days was cut short when Weatherlight (1997) came out primarily because I got addicted with other hobbies. 2007 when the game reintroduce itself again. I was passing by Synergy then when I saw a bunch of guys sitting across and beside each other, with poker faces on and holding a number of cards. And ever since rediscovering it, it becomes my primary hobby.

I do not have that much to gascon in my resume as a player. And if I am to write down my answer on 'what are your greatest accomplishments in MTG', I would probably write these down: ( i ) owning chiefly Paeng Cup Eternal Tournaments, ( ii ) playing the game and seeing the world because of it; ( iii ) winning every legacy and modern tournaments, regardless of its population size, or even just by making it to the top 8 of a big eternal event; and lastly ( iv ) meeting new individuals.

And there it is, my brief introductory about myself. And since 5 September 2015 is fast approaching, which means modern WMCQ, most probably my next post will be with that format.

Until then folks! Thanks for reading!
