2-1 FNM —Jan. 29, 2016

went 2 and 1 at fnm. My only loss was to JUNK going 1-2 and the last game was still very close. He wound up finishing 1st, so I dont feel too bad!

Match one Boros vs Naya Burn 2-0

Game 1: we started out pretty even, but he bolted him self twice early to get his duals putting him behind on life, and I hit an early Eidolon to keep it that way.

Game 2: I mulled down to 6 and got a pretty perfect hand. started out with a mountain, a clifftop retreat, lightning helix, and a kor firewalker. By turn 3 I landed Kor, and with him combined with lightning helix i stayed pretty comfortable the whole game


Match 2: JUNK 1-2

Game 1: Terrible game for me, I mulled to 6 and kept a hand with three lands and a Swiftspear. I was on the draw and he hit an inquisition of kozilek right off the bat taking my only turn one play and then landed a tarmagoyf turn two. I just couldnt build any momentum.

Game 2: went in my favor pretty easily. I got ahead and deflecting palmed a sassy tasi (tasigur) for the win.

Game 3: I mulled to 6 and kept a 1 mana hand because I had quite a few one mana spells. I got him down to 1 life, and I never even drew any mana. finished the game with 2 deflecting palms, a lightning helix, and a boros charm in hand.


Match 3: GR Tron 2-0

The tron match up in my experience is about 60-40 before SB, and then burn should be heavily favored.

Game 1: Had a decent opening hand aside from an Eidolon, and a Searing Blaze which are pretty dead in the water cards against tron. Still I had some early plays, and I drew into the burn spells I needed. Finished him off with a lighting bold + shard volley combo by turn 4.

Game 2: Another fairly easy game, I got out an early Swiftspear and Goblin Guide and whittled him down to 4, he landed an Ugin to kill them and I finished him off with a Boros Charm.

If you are steadfast against buying a couple of Sacred Foundries for Boros Charm, you could try Stomping Grounds and Atarka's Command instead.

I should have mentioned earlier that I do 100% intend to eventually make this boros, but for the time being since I had most of these cards laying around already I made it mono red, and I want to see how good I can get it with out adding another color first.

keen_the_crazy, when I started putting this deck together I actually took apart a mono red deck that was based on miracle casting because it was too inconsistent. Its fun to play, and when it works its awesome, but if you get it in your opening hand you're just screwed out of a card.
