We only played three (3) rounds of modern magic. I lost my opening round against BW DnT but won my succeeding rounds, Jund and Mono G Tron.
(2-1) (5-3)

Notes:

If you have any question regarding your board or game state, call the judge immediately to help you resolve things. I had a situation where I tanked for like 30 to 60 seconds trying to figure it out on my own. I ended up losing that game due to bad decision.

Merfolk Trickster killed a hundred dollar non-foil green creature! So sweet! The tandem of Merrow Reejerey + Merfolk Trickster made sure that my school will still inflict damage despite him not having an island. 

20k Modern Tournament
Radioactive Hobby Shop
Annonas, Quezon City
24 November 2018

Skred Red 0-2
Humans 1-2
Boogles 1-2
(0-3) (2-6)

Notes

Read and understand your opponent's card/s. Then very carefully study the board and apply the card/s you just read to the current game state. This is very important because triggers from one card caused by the other can spell win or defeat. Spreading Seas was great! Islandwalk all day long! Three Aether Vial in your opening hand, is not a good hand to keep. And lastly, I drew bricks in most of my game three matches. 

Madcap Modern League 

San Pedro, Laguna
24 November 2018

Humans 2-1
BW DnT 1-2
Mardu 1-2
Boros Burn 2-1 
(2-2) (6-6)

Notes 

Without the Spreading Seas I would not probably win a game. You the real MVP! Cursecatcher also did well defensively because it disrupted Mardu's and Boros Burn's math. Dismembers are very useful but as much as possible use the school's muscle as your primary creature removal. And speaking of sideboard cards, use them properly. 

This is all for now. I hope to see you in any of the following modern tournaments.
