RD 1 vs Eldrazi Tron

G1: The opponent committed a misplay: he summoned and activated (in the same turn) an Engineered Explosive (set for one) with the intention of killing my lone creature, Slippery Bogle with the following auras attached to it - Spider Umbra, Spirit Mantle, and Daybreak Coronet.

G2: Initial seven was: lands, auras, and Void Mirror, keep. Dropped the artifact on my second turn. Two turns after, the opponent conceded.   

RD 2 vs Mono Green Tron

G1: The opponent mulled to four. Turn one Mine into Map. Turn two Tower, done. End of turn fetched Plant. Turn three online into Karn, the Great Creator into Ensaring Bridge. I had no out. 

G2: I was a turn away from winning when the opponent top decked Ugin, the Spirit Dragon. Exiled each colored permanent with converted mana cost two or less. GG team bogles.

RD 3 vs  RW Control

Most of the opponent's board control spells are spot removals. 

RD 4 vs Jund 

The opponent's deck does not have Urza Saga in it. Plus majority of his removal, says "target creature"; not a very good card to see in your hand if there's an active bogle on the table. 

RD 5 vs Affinity

Shadowspear is really a house vs Team Bogles. 

This is all for know. Thanks for reading.

RD 1 vs Tron 

G1: Home team got to a hot start. Bogles + two other one-drop enchant auras + an Ethereal Armor got me there.

G2: I keep a hand with Gaddock Teeg in it. I thought the old man was enough but I was wrong. The opponent simply ignored my green-white kithkin advisor by dropping big fatty creatures. 

G3: I won the game because the opponent was not drawing lands or any green mana source that could let him cast Scrying Sheet. 

RD 2 vs Mono-Blue Merfolk

Lucky break because the opponent did not draw Chalice of the Void. 

RD 3 vs Jund SagaVan

G2: Shadowspear is house. For one mana generic, it stripped off my creatures of their hexproof. Good job there.

G3: I should have dealt the other combat damage directly to my opponent instead of addressing it to his Liliana of the Veil. 

RD 4 vs Boros Burn

G3: Each player's life total was below ten points when I attacked my 11/9 lifelink, trample, first strike, vigilance, and hexproof creature. It met Deflecting Palm. GG. 

RD 5 vs Jund SagaVan

G2: Opening hand Leyline of Sanctity dictated the tempo of the game; plus no Urza Saga or Shawdowspear came to his aide. Win. 

RD 6 vs Grix Death's Shadow

Game one gave me a refresher on how first strike and Death's Shadow's static ability interact during the damage-dealing step. 

I encountered the same game one problem during games two and three. A 5/5 Death's Shadows blocking my 7/5 first strike, with umbra, trample, and hexproof Gladecover Scout. But this time, instead of dealing the excess damage to the opposing player, I decided to give it all to his black creature. And to my joy, it died. No removal of whatever form came to his aid. I win in two swings. 

This is all for now. Thank you for reading.

G3: I cast a bait spell, Ethereal Armor. It ate a Counterspell. Now the opponent is tapped out. I summoned Void Mirror. The opponent did not have a removal for my artifact, I won in two swings via Silhana Ledgewalker plus All that Glitters, Hyena Umbra, and Daybreak Coronet attached to it. 

RD 2 Yorion Control

No mass removal at sight, Slippery Bogle buffed by a ton of auras won me the game. 

RD 3 RB Goblins

G3: These were the cards in my initial seven: Razorverge Thicket, one Silhana Ledgewalker, four one-drop auras one of them was Ethereal Armor, and a Daybreak Coronet. I pondered for about thirty seconds to about a minute if  whether or nor I will keep. I decided to keep and began the turn with a thicket and pass. YES! The Second land reached my hand - on my fifth turn. Sad Panda. 

RD 4 Boros Burn

Both games, Daybreak Coronet single-handedly turned the table into my favor. 

RD 5 UW Chalice-Shark Control

The opponent did a turn two Chalice of the Void for one. I did not see that coming. My hand then was four one drop auras. The same thing happened during game two. 

RD 6 Affinity

The opponent drew bricks in both of our games. Bogle and friends took advantage of the situation. Win in three swings. 

That's all for now. Thank you for reading.

RD 1 UW Control

G3: He exiled (March of the Otherwordly Light and Prismatic ending) the auras that give umbra effect before dropping Supreme Verdict. 

RD 2 Tron

Game three was thrilling because I was a turn away from winning when the opponent top decked Karn, the Great Creator. That wish Karn single-handedly turned the tides into his favor because it fetched an Ensnaring Bridge which stopped my well buffed Slippery Bogle from attacking. 

RD 3 Jeskai Storm 

G1: Path to Exiled his bear. Floating mana are now short for Past in Flames route. Win. 

G2: Gaddock Teeg played a big part of the win in this game because it stopped not just the opposing deck's engines and win conditions (Past in Flames, Gifts Ungiven, and Empty the Warrens), it also prevented the opponent from using jeskai storm's removals, Repeal and Prismatic Ending. 

RD 4 Living End

G3: The home team lost its steam because Force of Vigor ate two of my strongest enchantments on the table. A turn after, Living End was summoned. 

RD 5 Esper Control

Both games: He had no answer to my hexproof creature. His many removal spell did not reach him on time. win.

If I am to play this deck again, I will add copies of Void Mirror in the fifteen to help me combat Tron, Living End, and  Cascade decks. 

This is all for now. 

Thank you very much for reading.

RD 1 UR Murktide Monkey DRC (loss)

RD 2 UW Yorion Control (loss)

RD 3 UR Monkey DRC (win)

RD 4 Creativity (loss)

This was my first time to use GW Bogles in a paper MTG event. And it was a disaster for I committed a lot of errors. Here are some that I can recall.

Majority of us will not keep a one-land hand, especially in a rubber match situation. Well, I decided to keep some, not just once, but multiple times. I've been keeping one land handers with storm, so why not do the same here. Guess what, it did not pay well.  If I had six cases of one-land hand, probably I lost all but one. Moral lesson: there's no cantrip to fix the top of your library. 

Fetching basic land off a second fetch land drop (first if my first land drop was a GW land). You'll never now when exactly you'll need those colors, so better fetch Temple Garden first. Do not mind the loss of life points, Daybreak Coronet and/or Spirit Link got you covered. 

Speaking of Daybreak Coronet, I always tap the attacking the creature it enchants. Yeah. Multiple. Fking times. There were even a crucial scenarios in which a block from it would have had altered the result of the round into my favor. But alas! I forgot my creature has vigilance. Very nice. 

Also, I had game one experiences where I kept a hand where Kor Spiritdancer was the only creature in my hand. Yes it allows you to draw for every aura I cast. But it needs to stick on the table before I can enjoy its fruits.

Never summon Kor Spiritdancer on your turn two.  

I'll do better in my next GW Bogles gaming. 

Thank you for reading! Stay safe wherever you are!

RD 5 Esper Control (loss)

-drop-

RD 1 Eldazi Tron 

Game one: At one point the opponent had the following on his table: Relic of Progenitus, Chalice of the Void (set on two), and Grafdigger's Cage (fetched via Karn, the Great Creator). Luckily, I won this game because of two things: (i) the opponent does not have any clock and (ii) Prismatic Endings were just in time (Cage and Chalice). And as for the Relic, I bait Past in Flames. And after he popped the graveyard hate, while the red sorcery card is still in the stack, I cast my instant spells: two rituals, one Manamorphose, Gifts Ungiven, and the other card from Gifts, a ritual.

Game two: Turn two bear. Turn three win.

RD 2 Cascade Rhinos

Game one: My opening hand had the following: five lands (three were fetchlands) and a cantrip and a Prismatic Ending. I drew five more lands after that. 

Game two: On my last upkeep, I checked my hand: Past in Flames, two Desperate Rituals, and Silence. Life points: him at fourteen and I was at one. Table: I had seven blue-red-white lands while him with two 4/4 tapped  rhinos plus three open lands 

I draw for the turn, Serum Visions. I cast Silence on my first main phase. The opponent summoned an Endurance in respond. The green 3/4 creature resolved removing my juicy filled graveyard. Next was Serum Visions (storm three). It gave Manamorphose and let me see two other cards: Pyretic Ritual and a land. I send the land to the bottom and the other on top. Summoned the red-green card (storm four) which then followed by the rituals (storm seven). Flashbacked Past in Flames (storm eight) then faced the question "who'll go first, Serum Visions or Manamorphose?" 

I fired Serum Visions (storm eight) first because it digs deeper and in case I wanted a card from the scry; I can still get it with Manamorphose. Grapeshot was one of the cards I saw from the scry. which i leave it on top. Cast all the rituals (storm twelve). Manamorphose (thirteen). Grapeshot (fourteen). Win. 

Game three: Opening seven was: Baral, Manamorphose, two rituals, Past in Flames, Spirebluff Canal, and Opt. Greedy keep, I know. I got my second land on my first draw step. First draw step of my round three game one. *sigh*

RD 3 UR Baral Gifts Storm 

Game one: The opponent mulled to five. I keep a handful of Remands. Aimed my Grapeshots to his bears. Won the game via bear way. Two Goblin Electromancer plus a Baral, Chief of Compliance did most of the scoring from seventeen life points down to zero. 

Game two: The opponent went for the kill on his turn four. Silence tried to put a stop to it but his Spell Pierce said no. 

Game three: The opponent hesitated on his last turn. He simply pass the turn. And when I was comboing out on my turn, it was then that he learned that his top deck is a ritual, the vital piece he needed to win. 

RD 4 Mono-Red Wizard

Game one: Shock spells + prowess + Wizard Lightnings combination was too fast for the home team to handle. 

Game two: Despite having an opening Leyline of Sanctity on my side, the opponent still managed to win the game because he drew creatures instead of bolt spells. Also in this game, Goblin Guide witnessed me drawing five straight rituals. 

RD 5 Esper Control

The opponent had too many spot removals and counter spells, not to mention graveyard hate + removal in form of Kaya's Guile. 

Thank you for reading.

MODERN: UR BARAL GIFT STORM

Because of the March 7 announcement, I think the meta will shift from a black-dominated splashed deck to a blue white-or-red base splashed decks. So I gave UR Baral Gifts Storm build a spin; grabbed a stock list then added a couple of Expressive Iteration in the main to give it a little spice. Below if the seventy-five. 

I participated in two MTGO Modern League plus I played two 2-Players Queue games. Here are my brief experiences with the deck.
