Tournament Report: Contemporary Nook - June 30

Deck: Boros Midrange



Round 1: Matchup vs BG Yawgmoth (Win)

Key Card: Flame Slash

Strategy Overview: In this matchup, Flame Slash played a pivotal role in removing key creatures, helping to maintain board control and prevent the Yawgmoth combo from gaining momentum.

Bad Matchup: Go-wide strategies and OBM (Oppressive Black Midrange).

Sideboard Guide: Bring in additional Wrath of the Skies to handle multiple threats and reduce draw spells to mitigate OBM's pressure.


Round 2: Matchup vs Bant Nadu (Win)

Key Card: Early Blood Moon

Strategy Overview: An early Blood Moon effectively stopped the opponent's Urza's Saga and mana base, while Elesh Mom shut down their combo loop. This control element was crucial in securing the win.

Bad Matchup: Turn 2 or Turn 3 Nadu is exceptionally strong and difficult to handle.


Round 3: Matchup vs Jeskai Control (Draw)

Strategy Overview: This was a challenging matchup for Boros Midrange. After some tough rounds, both players agreed to draw the game.
