A friendly reminder before September 5th

Hello folks!

After days, weeks or even months of preparing for the much anticipated modern WMCQ this September 5th in Glorieta 5 Makati, can you answer all the questions: Are you ready for it? Your main deck and its fifteen card sideboards, are they final? Have you done pre-registering for the event? If you’re not qualified to participate in the said event because you failed to gain at least 300 planeswalker points from the period fixed by WOTC, do you have any plans of playing in any of the Last Chance Qualifiers pod that Neutral Grounds Glorieta will host this September 4th? Whatever your answers, I wish you good luck!

And let me expound a little my good luck by adding some reminders that I wish will be of help for your modern WMCQ campaign.

First, please be in Glorieta 5 Makati at least an hour ahead of the designated time for players’ meeting. This is to lessen, if not totally avoid, whatever hassle you might encounter along the way.  Also, please try not to be late in each round. This is WMCQ, judges will strictly implement the rules regarding tardiness.

Second, please write neatly and make sure that you will completely note down the name and number of the cards properly on your deck list. To those who are not aware of this: abbreviation and short cuts are not allowed. As much as possible, do not make any last minute deck tweak for this may result for your deck list error violation which might cause you losing one game.

Third, the first five rounds of the event are important. Normally this serves as our indicator if we have any chances of making it to the top eight. So make sure that your body is well conditioned for the gruesome battle. A decent sleep, a great breakfast, water and snacks are just some of the things you will need to fuel yourself in propelling your way to the top.

Fourth, stop look and listen. Whenever there is an action being done, STOP for a second and try to LOOK on the table and check for whatever effect and/ or triggers that may arise. And if a problem occurs, never hesitate to call a judge. Whatever the ruling, LISTEN to him for you might use the lesson learned to your succeeding rounds.

And lastly, enjoy every second of it. This is just a game. There’s no need to take things personally. If you are that dead serious with it, fine. As much as possible, please do not lose your cool during the event.


Again people, have fun and GOOD LUCK in your respective campaign!
