Since January 2016, I've been so active playing UR Pyromancer Ascension in different modern tournaments around the metro, and almost forgot that I also need to gird for Grand Prix Chiba. So on March 20th, I decided to start my preparation for the said big event by sleeving those 75 cards again. Preparing many months before the big game is way too early. I know that. Trust me, once you are there, a format that you're so much into, it will bring a different kind excitement you never had. And if that excitement gets over you, this will surely cause your campaign. So in order to avoid that unhappy feeling, especially if you're bringing a storm deck in that high level of competition, it is very important to know the right card combination right off the bat.

RD 1 Lands
Game one, lost this one due to this land destruction combo - Crop Rotation, Wasteland, Life from the Loam and Exploration. For games two and three, a mob of goblin gets there in two swings.
1-0 (2-1)
RD 2 BURG
Games one and three, 18 goblins are better than a team of delver, Vendilion Clique and an active Deathrite Shaman. I lost game two to his ton of counter magic.
2-0 (4-2)
RD 3 DnT
I won games one and three on turn two spell chain into Burning Wish into Tendrils of Agony. Game two, 18 goblins is no match to his Batterskull, Serra Avenger and Phyrexian Revoker.
3-0 (6-3)
Did an intentional draw for RDs 4 and 5.
3-0-2 (6-3-2)
I lost in the quarters to BURG. Game three, despite my repeated cantrips and fetches, no tutor nor wish came to my aid. Vendilion Clique ate all my life points.
