Hey guys !

I've checked my cards, and it appears that I'm missing few:

1x Rootbound Crag (Tudor, I remeber that you gave me back Reckoner, but Crag? Can you check it?)
1x Garruk, Primal Hunter (I had two, now I have only one. I remember that no one here had that Garruk, so please check guys if you have it somewhere)
4x Mutilate (Doru, I have your cards tongue Should I leave them in RG, or something?)


Please, check guys if you maybe have my cards somewhere. I'm leaving Cluj in two-three weeks, and I would like to have them back.

Guys, and how are the results? Benczi, you played finally with Junk Reanimator or 4c Reanimator?

Speaking about ROI, I think redraft is even better sometimes than boosters. Usually we can gather 8 persons, so it's 4 boosters. We're opening 4 boosters - position nr. 1 can be sure that he/she can redraft the best card from 4 boosters (not from 2 boosters), other positions can do the same, and positions from 4-8 can be sure that they will exit the tournament with cards with which they can play (charm's for example).

And BTW - I think that it's more reasonable to look at the return on investment when you're playing on PTQ, or WMCQ, than on retarded FNM without promo cards with 4 boosters in prize pool wink

I've noticed that after first two-three weeks of organising standard tournaments without any problems, now the tournaments are not that popular and it may be problem to gather at least 8 persons to play with sanction of WoTC. There is also problem with new players - I've didn't noticed new players that would like to play standard. I think it may be connected with the prize system.

Now the system is clear - only top 3 is receiving boosters, usually nr. 1 2 boosters, nr. 2 and 3 one booster. And rest ... nothing. It may be good for competitive players, but it's very discouraging for begginers or for players that don't want to pay lots of cash for tier 1 deck. So my proposition is to make redrafts.

If somebody don't know what is redraft, let me explain quickly. If in the pool are 4 boosters, at the end of swiss organisator is opening all of them, segregate the cards by rarity, and then according to the table after swiss everyone is picking one card. After everyone picked one card, there's next round and everyone is picking two cards, and so on. As you probably can see, in this system even place 4 or 5 can receive not that bad rare or quite good uncommons. It's better for the begginers, especially if you don't have that many competitive players (and I think for now, regularly playing - there are 3-4 of them maybe).

I think that this system may attract new players, and keep the old ones still playing. In Warsaw I loved this system, cuz in tournaments with 20-30 persons, I had always a possibility to win a good cards even from place 8-10.

If I'm from Poland, can I play in your WMCQ? tongue If yes, I'm definetly going to Bucharest or/and Mures. Maybe I'll be lucky tongue

Thanks for the info Vlad. smile

I honestly don't like the current prices, but if that means that we have a place to play and support a community, I'm willing to make certain sacrifices. However, considering the owner's disregard for our suggestions I cannot foresee this as being beneficial for the community( I doubt it will attract new players or help our current ones).

And this is the point. I don't think that anybody should sacrifice "himself" for community in that way. And there is also a question, what sort of support the community receives from shop? As I've read your conversation (using google translate of course ;P), shop gained very nice community - and in return it gave? PRE for 120 lei?

Sorry, last time I'm comparing Cluj to Warsaw - in Warsaw the price was between 70-80 lei. And the money was enough for organisator to pay for judges, place (they need to rent a hall for 170 persons), and earn money. Using this example, I think that RG would benefit more if they'll organise FNM for 10-20 persons with entry fee around 20 lei, then maybe 10 persons with entry around 30. But that's only my opinion.

IMHO the 10 lei entry fee  is horrible. I can understand this when somebody wants to organise his own tournament - but when shop is organising something, and boosters are bought from shop resources - then it's at least "not fair" .

in most of the countries there are more than one distributor..there is competition between them..for what i know, in romania only one distributor is present

In Poland there is only one distributor, since almost always. The problem is with monopol of shops, not distrubutor of product like MTG.

Guys, before anyone will think "what this stupid polish guy wants, he should shut up" - I would like only help somehow. This situation has many alternative ways, many solutions. The only thing that should be definetly changed is the 10 lei entrance fee, cuz this is just unfair for the community.

I know that I'm a stranger, but which particular tax is so high here? I mean why in Poland you can buy booster for 12-13 lei without any promotion (and with promotion Dark Ascension was sold for 10 lei), and here it's 17?

The other thing, very weird for me (for you probaly as well) is the fee you have to pay only for playing at the shop. What's a ideology behind this thing? Shop is for people, not people for shop. So shop should be very happy if people will come, sit there, play and of course buy stuff there. When I wrote to my friends in Poland, that shop here wants 10 lei only for sitting there, they didn't believed me. They still don't. But ok, it's stupid to compare countries. The point is that this thing doesn't make situation better for your community. If any younger player will have only one opportunity to play T2 - I mean to pay 30 lei - he will probably quit. For example, in Poland you can play FNM for 6 lei (0,5 booster/person to pool) - and tons of new people come, cuz 6 lei is no big deal.

I will be here only for 5 months, so ok, I can play few times a month for 30 lei/event. But in longer period you'll have problem with keeping community alive. I mean real, competitive community.

As probably Benczi wrote before, Planeswalker Points are not so important if you're not grinding GP's etc. If RG will keep the price so high, we can play somewhere else, even in KFC (we play modern often in KFC in Warsaw ;-) ). You have beautiful city with lots of places - it's only a problem of choice I think.

And BTW - at the end of march I'm going back for one week to Poland - I don't see any problem with bringing booster boxes with me, if there'll be such need ;-)

And the bigger prize pool is 1 booster/person?
