Notes
The last time I used a burn deck was on June 2016. To this day, my knowledge of the deck is a little out-of-date. To help me freshen things up, I asked a few active burn individuals about how is burn doing in today's meta. Most of them responded positively which was enough to convince me play the deck again. 


Ensnaring Bridge > Searing Blood. Yes the latter deals damage but I prefer the former because it can keep an army at bay - which is sufficient enough (at least for me) to buy time to win game.

I decided to include Torpor Orb in the 15 because I was expecting decks that abuse creatures which have comes into play triggers. 

Landfall timing is important. Most of the time during mid games, I crack my fetch land in my upkeep with a prayer that I'll be drawing a Searing Blaze on my draw step. 

Skewer the Critics, the number of this card in the main deck? TWO. Four is too much (I think). And three is ahhh... uhmmmm... Can be. (I think). 

I was having a great run during the first three rounds of the event. Unfortunately, it was in the fourth round when things suddenly changed after I answered a phone call that had something to do with work errand which left me no choice but to drop from the roll and report for duty. 

This is all for now. As of this posting, I am still trying to get rid of the adrenaline stress. ^_^
