I'm playing in a Magic the Gathering tournament on Saturday with 32 players, the biggest i've ever been in

EDIT: Tournament results

After 5 rounds of Swiss with 27 players (a few cancelled last minute), I finished with 3 victories and 2 defeats, landing on place 9, which was unfortunately 1 too far to make it to the Top 8 single-elimination tournament. I went home with 2 Krark-Clan Shamans, a Bloomborrow booster, a pack of assorted tokens and a voucher from a partner to get proxies printed.

It was really fun! I will play the same deck in 2 weeks again at my local game store and in another tournament.

    Best of luck! I'm pretty new to MtG but that sounds fun - what kind of deck are you running?

    Thank you! This is a Pauper tournament, so all cards in my deck are commons from throughout magic history. I play black-red-green called Jund Wildfire.

    It tries to win through attacking with creatures from MH3 Writhing Chrysalis, Nyxborn Hydra, Refurbished Familiar, with spells to draw a lot of cards and get more lands into play.

    And you, what decks and formats do you play?

    Oh I've heard of Pauper! That deck looks great, Nyxborn Hydra definitely seems scary 👀

    I only play EDH at the moment, but I'm interested in trying other formats for sure. I play a white/blue precon called First Flight which I've slightly upgraded and tweaked to focus more on life gain, as well as a red/blue deck I've put together with Magnus The Red as commander, focusing on token creatures and dealing damage to all players whenever I cast spells! I'm pretty new to the game 😅

    White-Blue flyers is sweet, I have fond memories of my Sephara, Sky's Blade standard deck. EDH is cool because you can really tweak slowly your decks. Other formats usually have their own fixed list and you need to invest a lot to make a complete deck. At least in Pauper the individual cards are pretty cheap, you can get a complete deck for the price of a single chase-mythic
