It’s been a while since we had a booster draft, but we were able to get 8 players for an FNM draft today.

Rey Abella won the whole thing on the back of 3 Leonin Skyhunters and 2 Galvanic Blasts. A Wurmcoil Engine (which he never really needed) was also a welcome addition to the crew.

We will be running another draft next week. Join us on Facebook and let us know if you wish to join. We plan to fill 2 simultaneous pods (16 players total).

First things first, our event is now a real Grand Prix Trial complete with a K-level of 24 and will award 3 byes to top finishers. The number of byes awarded will be determined by the number of participants as per Grand Prix Trial regulations. Top 4 players will get byes if we have 64+ participants, and top 8 players will get byes if we have 128+ participants.

Yes we will still feature the insane prize pool that the local players have grown to love. For these 2 events, we will be giving Php 7,000 to the top finisher to help out with travel expenses (a ticket to SGP roughly costs that much). Oh and we will be giving it in cash; so whether you choose to go to the GP or not, that would be +7,000 in your pocket. For the consolation prizes; we have been known to give away +/-6 boxes worth of products in the past and we do not intend to change that. We reduced the entry fee too.

So get your 60-card decks ready and let’s get it on!

Point system: We have decided to keep this simple for easy recall. This would be our 1st event after all and we would not want any confusion while playing.

Negatives
-1 Chasm: Destroy all lands an opponent controls. This may be given more than once to any player (Destroy all lands of all three opponents = -3).
-1 Greedy Mcgreederson: Take an extra turn. This may be given more than once to any player.

Positives
+5
Straight Flush – Control five creatures of exactly the same color(s) in five consecutive powers. This will be awarded only when the stack is empty. This may only be awarded to an individual player once per pod, although it may be awarded to multiple players.

+3
Flush - Control five non-token creatures of EXACTLY the same color (five green creatures, or green and red creatures, but not three green and 2 green and red). This will be awarded only when the stack is empty. This may only be awarded to an individual player once per pod, although it may be awarded to multiple players.

+2
You’re outta here – Kill a player or being directly responsible for a player’s death. There is the obvious – controlling the source of the damage (whether it’s direct or creatures). This also includes, although is not limited to alternate methods, such as controlling the Howling Mine that makes the player deck himself, or redirecting lethal damage to someone. (Player A plays Fireball, Player B Swerves the Fireball to Player C.)
Bases Loaded – Control a Land, Creature, Enchantment, Artifact, and Planeswalker, while having both a Sorcery and an Instant present on the stack.
Busy, Busy, Busy (Titan original) – Play an extra land, play 2 permanents of different card types, cast an instant, cast a sorcery, activate a planeswalker all in one turn and attack with at least 3 creatures all in one turn.

+1
Look at Me – Last person standing in a pod.
Generalissimo - Kill a player with General damage.
Forth times the Charm – Resolve your General 4 times in a single game from the General Zone.
Straight - Control at least one creature of five consecutive powers (for example, Mogg Fanatic, Jackal Pup, Mogg Flunkies, Ravenous Baloth, Shivan Dragon). This will be awarded only when the stack is empty. This may only be awarded to an individual player once per pod, although it may be awarded to multiple players.
First Blood – First player to have a creature killed by an opponent. Kill includes destroy, exile, or cause a player to sacrifice the creature. Combat damage doesn’t count. (This can be awarded to multiple people if they all have creatures killed at the same time by the same effect – Wrath of God, Damnation, etc…)
Getting to Basics – Control at least 7 Basic Lands. This can be earned by each player in each pod.
I’m Probably Next – Have the lowest life total, which must be lower than 10 when the first player is killed.
Standard Rules (Titan original) – Play a deck composed solely of Standard-legal cards and win the game. (this is a nod to the fact that a lot of noobs may have only standard cards e)
Heeeere’s Timmy! (Titan original) – Win the game without any combo activation, without taking an extra turn, without countering any spell, and without stealing any permanent.
Kill the Bastard (Titan original) – Kill or destroy any of these notorious EDH permanents: Seedborn Muse, Dovescape, Zur the Enchanter, Uril the Miststalker, Azami Lady of Scrolls, Sorin Markov, Karmic Justice, Ulamog the Infinite Gyre, Isochron Scepter, Darksteel Colossus, Lightning Greaves, Grave Pact, Maze of Ith, Crucible of Worlds or a Mindslaver.
