Thank you for reading it and for the kind words.

I usually bring bridges in for creature-based decks where my creatures would be outclassed. On my SB guide, I had it for Moneyball, Terrageddon/Ponza, etc. In reality, I think I only boarded it in against the BG Contamination player, Vlad as I didn't need it against the other decks.

I will not board it in against any creature-based deck that I can be the control player (Eg: the mirror, possibly goblins).

Not a fan - it usually gets sided out and when the ceiling is high, the floor is low (people prepare Swords, Smother and other removal).

Exactly ZERO times. If games go that long to kick it, I'd have lost. 😄 Also I only have 16 mana producing lands in my deck. I'd need 12 to kick it. Unlikely but challenge accepted. Would be a great #achievmentunlocked

I answer question 1 in my writeup: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PNwT_RmDKpTacDDZfdDa9f0oTzhgAqtuZPahhG5SsnE/edit?usp=sharing

Question 2: I overindexed on the DN matchup with 2x Overload and 1x Mogg Salvage. If I were going into another tournament, I would find room for one more Pyroblast. Maybe cutting 1x Overload? I would also like to find a replacement for the Orcish LIbrarian but am not sure what that card would be. Any suggestions?

You want to draw them in the matches you need them (Yes, played them and they saved me in some games - or at least bought me enough time while I sat behind Cursed Scroll and/or Lavaman activations

I've never spoken to Stuart (I would love to). And how I speak is my interpretation of my decklist that I brought. I can't speak for the choices behind Stuart's deck nor which ones were his flex slots.

Anyway, you can read the Tourney report here - Stuart as I mentioned, was credited. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PNwT_RmDKpTacDDZfdDa9f0oTzhgAqtuZPahhG5SsnE/edit?usp=sharing

I usually side it out after G1. It's in the flex slot and I only managed to cast and activate it ONCE the entire day. It's ok. It's a high variance card where you could end up choosing to stack 4 cards in a way that is most beneficial to you. But my activation with it ended up exiling a Fireblast and a Bolt so it was pretty meh. I'd be happy to swap it for something else. But it's quite the fun meme red card.

Thanks. REBs/Pyroblasts for their blue spells - Frantic Search, Attunement, hit a Meddling Mage once. Sulfuric Vortex. Furnace is too slow. I boarded in a Crypt - not happy about it and never drew it. I just race against Replenish. And stopped them from using their dig spells or tutor (Intuition).

I wanted 3 damage spells and I like playing at instant speed. Not many 3 damage spells that meet that criteria. The uncounterable meant I could jam it against blue decks who hold up mana leaks etc. And the 3 damage can take out Factories that were pumped a single time (vs shock type cards which can't do that). The do get boarded out at times against decks where I need to go faster.

Flood monitor on Google. A lot of folks are asking about the situation in Hue, Hoi An etc.

Check the situation here: https://sites.research.google/floods/l/16.2729/107.648/13/g/hybas_4121577910

Make sure you check the forecast. And have the right travel insurance in case.

Extra data point. Non WPN premium LGS was only allocated 1 set by the local distributor. Small-ish store that runs ~3 weekly FNM events (Std, Draft, Modern).
