Rei Ayanami School Uniform

This 1/8 Rei Ayanami School Uniform made from resin. its composed of 11 parts and very well cast in resin. In my initial attempts in painting resin kits, I've used water based acrylic paint from Vallejo, which in the long run doesn't last that much (very expensive too. In the Present, I'm now using Tamiya Acrylics and Enamels Because of its availability here in the Philippines. I've aquired this kit locally for around $50, ain't cheap but still worth it for my Rei Ayanami Collection.

1/8 Sakura Kinomoto Movie Version Resin kit

This is one of the kits i bought when i went to Hongkong last 2005. Made of resin casted by Garage kit collections located on Sino Center on Nathan road, Kowloon. It's price, 580$ HK. After acquiring an airbrush last year, I've finally painted and finished the kit. I've used metal rods to hold the pieces together and a brass rod to suspend the kit above the base. as a substitute for the ribbons, I've used the aluminum of the soda cans to add flexibility. Painted it with Tamiya colors and pylox for the pearl white.

Gundam Wars

I've been a member of forum for almost 2 years and I've lurked the forums for quite sometime. During my first months in the forum, I've red the issues pertaining to MatX, a person I barely know at that time. From my point of view, administrators of that uses the forum as a tool to vindicate, to them are violators of the forum, publicly humiliating them by putting by changing their avatars, clearly using the barbaric form of execution by displaying the head of the criminal. Not humane to me. Now, they are clearly using the forum and the organization for their personal issues, vindicating a friend, who created a parody to one of the members.

If creating a parody is such a crime, don't you think MAD magazine should be behind bars now? would president arroyo execute Ate Glow? No. Only Ferdinand Marcos did. This is a democratic country. Only Dicks do that! Never did I saw a trace of name dropping in one of his parodies. Now, they are judging and accusing him in their website, clearly getting his army to join him to destroy his image. Clearly a sign of marshal law.
I don't the get idea of using a 10 year old organization against 1 guy. If you see through this issue, you would agree that its just small one, so small that you don't need to gather your army. Can't stand up on your own? maybe you have no spine? Maybe you also have a plan like what Marcos did to Ninoy Aquino. Remember that being an Administrator does not mean you would control how your members think. Don't brainwash your members, this is not politics, its a hobby! Hobbies are meant to be fun and enjoyable. Another thing, Don't provoke your members!here's a screenshot:
"Who wants to be next?" You just accuse people you want to, manipulate the community, just like Marcos did. There was also a time that you used your members to attack my post in another website, accusing me that I copied the pose of a mecha that one of your members built. Wow! So that means that I have to ask permission from him for me to pose my mecha in that position? such a desperate move, you should think before you act. I have a feeling that you will be using this blog to ban me, well its not my lost. Besides, its MY BLOG! deal with it! I can express any issue I want, speak freely! This is not your blog! its MY BLOG! !@#!@$#!!$!%

Another National Championship

Last Sunday, I tried again to qualify for the national championship at glorieta 5. I brought the Jund Build my friend recommended, having 27 lands, 3 bituminous blast and no dragons. here's my tournament report:

round 1: Vs Mythic Conscription

He mulled to six in our first match. at first i thought he was playing Next level bant so i just played thrinax, leech and bloodbraid elf. on game 2, i boarded in all of my removal spells and boarded out my thrinax and blightning. no creature lived on the opposite side of the board.

1-0














Round 2: Mythic Conscription again...

This time, i had the first blood of the day. it was a quick combo by turn 5 which i conceded fast to proceed to sideboard. after boarding, i made short work of her creatures while beating with bloodbraid elf.
game three end quickly as she mulled down to 5 cards and has only 2 land drops.

2-0










Round 3: still Mythic Conscription?


Well, nothing to tell here. It has the same result as my last round. the only difference is he played Baneslayer angel and I ripped a terminate on the top of the library in the nick of time. very close fight.











3-0

Round 4: RG Beats

On the first few turns, I thought i was playing with Jund mirror. But after seeing a birds of paradise, I had the wrong information. I was at twelve life when he suddenly hits me with overrun, dealing 13 damage( thanks to 2 life @ putrid leech ). after seeing vengevine, I boarded out 4 copies of blightning and replaced them with 4 duress. bad choice for me as later he revealed he boarded out his overruns and replaced them with goblin ruin blasters. As a cascaded a Duress again on my bloodbraid elf, i suffured my first lost of the day...









3-1

Round 5: RDW


My first bad match-up. My opponent's build is Devastating summons/ Goblin bushwacker. its a little bit inconsistent than the all haste build. I beat him miraculously in game one as he was overwhelmed by thrinax and bloodbraids.

Sideboard:
+4 duress
+3 doomblade

-4 blightning
-2 sharkhan the mad
-1 siegegang commander

This game wasn't in my favor as my only creature was a lone putrid leech while on the other side of the board was a plated geopede and a kiln fiend. I conceded to a lock down of a manabarbs on 10 life... very critical life point on red. On the Deciding match. he mulled down to 5 which kept my hopes up as my openning hand was duress, lightning bolt, putrid leech, savage lands, verdant catacombs, forest, mountain. turn 3 i duress him to pick up a lightning bolt(drawing another duress on turn 2). it was an easy match as he lacks the number of cards to deal decent damage to me.

4-1

Round 6: Blue White control

my opponent on round 6 was joseph basilio, one of the veterans here in the philippine MTG community. I was a little bit worried on game 1 because of my past UW match ups which mostly loses. Lucky for me, He mulled to six cards and was on the play. Time to capitalize! I had an early drop of leech and thrinax which added pressure plus a well timed blightning hitselspeth which made quick work on him.

Sideboard
-4 lightning bolt
-4 sprouting thrinax
-2 terminate
-3 bituminous blast
+4 duress
+4 Goblin Ruin blaster
+3 doomblade
+2 malakir bloodwitch

Game 2, His openning 7 was good. after turn 3, he missed his 4th land drop which i capitalized playing aggressive bloodbraids and ruin blaster. I got lucky to cascade another ruin blaster which made quick work. whooo!!!

5-1

Round 7: Next Level Bant



Not the match-up you wanted when carrying a jund deck, vengevines gives you a lot of headache. I played an aggressive start with a leech and a thrinax, bashing through walls and pumping it. on my 5th turn, still I played blightning... guess what hits the graveyard... a pair of vengevine. Luckily, vengevine never saw the light of two creatures as I hit lethal damage after targeting two wall of omens with a maelstrom pulse. that was a close game!

sideboard
-4 blightning
+2 doomblade
+2 jund charm

Game 2, as i remembered, was very very close match. We where trading combats with Rox War monk and putrid leech. I was at 1 life when i recovered with Dragon tokens thanks to sarkhan the mad. I almost cost the game when i made an error attacking my dragon tokens. luckily, i cascaded a removal on the bituminous blast, killing the war monk with a +3/+3 flying because of Elspeth.

Round 8: Mythic Conscription Still!!!!

this round, we both agreed to intentionally draw to guarantee a spot in the Top 8 play-offs. As we take a brake, Earl told me to revise my plan when facing a mythic conscription. here is the plan:
-4 putrid leech
-3 sprouting thrinax
+3 doomblade
+2 jund charm
+2 malakir bloodwitch

This makes almost all cascade spells have an instant removal card( except blightning which kills the spell from the hand ). I had two possible opponents,RDW or Mythic Conscription. RDW spells defeat, Win if mythic. Its all up to the results after round 8. here's the Top 8 line up.


My opponent in the top 8 is Mythic Conscription.


Game 1:


My opponent kept his opening 7 cards while i mulled to 6 cards. having only two lands in hand, a swamp, dragon skull summit, terminate, leech and a bolt, i kept my hand. I never drew another land card till my opponent killed me with the combo... despite of the lose, i was confident on my deck post sideboard match-up.

Game 2:

I kept my opening 7 cards while he mulled to 6 cards. my deck was running smoothly as I played removal cards constantly on every creature he controlled. Finally he ran out of creatures giving me the signal to cast my siegegangs and sarkhan the mad.

Game 3:


We both kept our opening 7 cards. my opening was 3 lands and all removal, from lightning bolt to maelstrom pulse. After killing all of his creatures including a baneslayer succumbing to a bituminous blast and a lightning bolt, malakir bloodwitch made short work of his life total. I'm back in the national Championship!!
