Preparations for GP KL

Hi fellow cowies for GP KL!

Here are some things you may want to prepare for the grand event!

1) Dices and counters - just bring your own, lest you need to indicate how many counters on your planeswalker or chalices! Dices are good for determining who is going to start first

2) Pen and rough paper - Pen is a necessasity. Please take in mind that you HAVE to write down life scores on paper. Not anywhere else. It's also good to indicate how you have taken the damage or how your opponent was damaged. It is a tedious way but a very good strategy to prevent cheating of life total. (Not sure if we will be given a score pad as door gift)

3) Sideboard cards - its good to bring along EXTRA sideboard cards. Last minute purchase of any cards (be it common, uncommon or rares) is just gonna burn a hole in your wallet. Its good to keep your options open till you see the last minute grinders on Friday. The trend for tier decks usually are from the Last minute grinders.

4) Extra set of sleeves - some competitors that you faced could ruffle shuffle your deck real bad, or you may spoil your own sleeves from shuffling. Get an extra set. Purchasing from the event ground could be more expensive.

5) A mini file - for trading purposes

6) Cards to be signed by guest artist - self explanatory

7) Jacket or coat - air con = brain freeze = cant think

Good luck to all and for the umpteen time, check your email for the itinary and stop asking me what time are the flight!
