I lost the notepad containing my notes. So, I am writing everything from memory. Here are the things that I can still remember.
There were games where Light-Paw, Emperor's Voice was the MVP of the game. Situations like coming back from behind to establish board control; to able to go toe to toe against the opponent's biggest threat; and swinging a 20/16 trample, first strike, flying with reach white cat on turn three were just some of the situations that I can recall.
The umbras and Heroic Interventions were really great versus mass removals. Sadly, they are not that strong versus Ugin, the Spirit Dragon.
Before, I like the idea of attacking with a vigilance creature because I'll have a blocker in my opponent's combat. But soon I realized that it is better to hit successfully rather than getting blocked.
I lost to Burn Boros because I forgot Deflecting Palms exist. 12/12 cat power gone in an instant.
I drew five straight lands at one point in our game three versus the second Tron.
I haven't seen a Ponza deck in years.

Things that I can still recall from this event are as follows:
The moment Colossus Hammer enters the battlefield, off the Urza's Saga's third ability, it will immediately look for an available target for it to equip itself, this is assuming that there is an active Sigarda's Aid on the table. So animating a man-land after the hammer hits play, the former cannot be the subject of "target".
How many life points will the controller of an 18/18 trample with lifelink construct token gain versus an 11/11 first strike, lifelink, protection from creatures, vigilance, with umbra clauses Light-Paw. The construct token's controller will only gain seven because the eleven damages that it dealt to the cat were prevented. Thus no gain on that part.
I miscalculated my enchantments' total damage. The opponent was at seventeen. My team dealt sixteen. Sheezz
Game one against Team Burn: I was down to three when I top-decked Daybreak Coronet. The home team never looked back since then. Leyline of Sanctity was in my opening hand in game two. This made it an uphill battle for the opponent. I also made sure that my enchantments were well distributed to three Bogles. This is to avoid a one-hit from Defecting Palm.
Game three, turn five versus infect, I said take. Then I sang (internally) this chorus line from a famous tagalong song, "... nasa langit naba ako. kayo ho ba si San Pedro ohhhh bula bibig koooo".
Hexproof is king versus a match-up that has a lot of spot removals.
Quarters:
I probably should not have attacked my Gaddock Teeg at one point because he was the only card checking the opponent's key cards. Cards like the wish Karn, One Ring, Damnation, and that gain life gain with x on its casting cost, forgot the name.
This is how I lost: One Ring has four counters. He tapped it and drew five cards. One of those cards was Damnation. The opponent cast it killing both of my Bogles in the process. Good thing one of them had an umbra attached to it. So the umbra did its job of saving one of my bogles. He then cast Sheoldred's Eddict.
After cleaning my board, he dropped another copy of One Ring. Sacrificed the one with five counters on it before shipping the turn back. I drew bricks in my next four turns. Eventually, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse hits the table and starts gaining life points for every draw a card the opponent does.

I had an 11/9 first strike, lifelink, trample, vigilance, with umbra clause elf. The opponent blocked it with three creatures: two 4/4 rhinos and an Endurance. Since the home team had the first strike, I assigned the damage first by killing a rhino and the Endurance.
Versus Boros Burn, a turn three Daybreak Coronet won me game one. One swing from my 9/7 first strike, vigilance, lifelink, with umbra clause elf was enough for him to concede. Game two, two copies of Leyline of Sanctity in the opening hand will beat a hand with an opening single hate card. Distribute the enchantments equally to both of my Bogles.
Two Reflections of Kiki-Jiki plus active Grief and Fury on board, was too much for the home team to handle.
The majority of team infect have no removal. So I always dropped my Light-Paws on turn two and go crazy by turn three.
Quarters-Semis
Since I was not yet interested in the invite, so I conceded to my opponent.
Sentinel's Eyes vs Gryff's Boon
Before October 2023, I was a big fan of Sentinel's Eyes. One drop that gives +1 buff and vigilance. You can swing your creature offensively and at the same time, you'll have a defensive blocker during the opponent's combat.
But, as Fowl Play correctly pointed out, though not the exact words but the same meaning, it is better to hit that get blocked. So I decided to implement the changes from a set of Sentinel's Eyes down to two copies. And up Gryff's Boon's from one to three copies.
Horizon Canopy
I intentionally listed two because of how rampant Orich Bowmaster is in the meta.
Heroic Intervention
I'll probably decrease its number by one and replace it with Fog, maybe?. I don't know. I find three copies of it too much.
Canopy Cover
There were times when I wish this card was in the main deck during some of my game ones. I'll probably make room for her if in case I will use Bogles again.
Spirit Mantle
This card is awesome! If you're running Bogles in modern, this is a must in the main deck.
I'll end this now. Thank you for reading guys! Long Live Team Bogles!
PS.
Thank you Bogle mentors: Paulo C. and Fowl Play!
