RD 1 RG Prowess loss 

RD 2 Revolt Zoo loss

RD 3 Boros Burn win 

 

GR Prowess

Their one-drop casting costs cheap instants and sorcery were too fast for my school to handle. 

Revolt Zoo

Fast go-wide strategy is not a favorable match-up vs the school.

Boros Burn

Harbinger of the Seas turned all his lands into Islands. No Mountains. No Lightning Bolts. No killing of my school. Win.

RD 1 UB Frog (win)

RD 2 Boros Energy (win)

RD 3 Living End (win) 

RD 4 5c Zoo Domain ID 

Semis RG Prowess (loss)

Here are some of the things that I can still remember.

Aether Vial activation. Next time I'll be stricter in my next outing. 

Harbinger of Seas helped me win two rounds, against Boros Energy and Living End.

Sink in Stupor showed me how great he was. Pitched to Force of Negation/Subtlety; turn one pay three life points into land into an Aether Vial; and returned a crucial spell.

This is all for now. Thank you for reading.

Rd 1 RG Prowess win

Rd 2 Tron loss

Rd 3 Ruby Storm loss

Rd 4 Mono Blue Belcher loss 

I did some minor changes from last week's 75. Things like I added Archmage's Charm. Took out Pyromancer Ascension and replaced it with Roiling Vortex. I lessen my one-casting cost cantrips and added removals and Timely Reinforcements. 

I think I have to dedicate sideboard cards for Tron.

Priceless moment: when opponents are being caught off-guarded with Felidar-Saheeli combo. 

The duo of Roiling Vortex and Aria of Flame is promising. 

Well, this is all for now. 

Thank you for reading!

26 June 2024

Win: Rakdos Scam and Tron

Loss: Tron, Boros Cat,  Mono Black Necro, and Urza

Here are some of the things that I can still remember, six days after the event.

At six mana, I can go off. Cast Felidar blink a basic land then summon Saheeli Rai into loop. I missed this line of play multiple times.

Having an online Pyromancer Ascension is good. But overall, I find it slow in today's meta. I'll probably make some adjustments for my next outing.

Well, this is all for now. 

Thank you for reading!
