MARCH: Boros Burn (Modern)

After that MTG donation experience, I decided to give my pet deck UR storm a break and settled for a Boros deck. Here are the 75 cards that I sleeved.

Every first placer from all FQ's Sunday event will serve as the winner's invite for their qualifying leg of its own version of modern series. This lured me to go there and play.

This is base on my experience, but I was wrong.

At the end of the day, boros burn secured me a ticket for their qualifying leg which will be sometime in April.

A few days after playing from FQ's Sunday event, I checked my calendar and saw this exciting list of MTG legacy and modern tournaments:

March 12 GPT Modern at Madcap  

March 13 Regran Open Modern

March 19 Last PC Modern at Madcap

March 20 Legacy at Kick Engines
April 2 Legacy at ARJ

With those positive results, I planned to perdure on the same list for the remaining  modern contests.

I dropped from the event and went home empty handed. To those burn players reading this, I hope you will not be discouraged by my results. I still believe that burn is still in the position to win. 

Well, I'll just do better next month.

Until then, thanks for reading!

See you guys this coming saturday
