I hate having to look up every store in my area just to find out that they only do pre-releases. So yeah, I've browsed through 8 different stores and no one is hosting an event outside of your normal FNM. Dallas has regionals for SCG but that's Modern and also 4 hours away.
I miss playing competitive magic all day long.Looking for love in Alderaan places.- Micc

There's a few shops by me that recently started their own tournament series with monthly qualifiers and a large end of year tournament. You could talk to some of your local shops and see if they'd be interested in something similar. If the prize pool is good enough I've seen some real good turnouts for those events."To hide a tree, use a forest" -Ninja Boy Hideo- MTD

So I crushed my prerelease events this weekend on the back of some incredible pulls. I'm afraid I probably used all my luck up before the GP circuit comes to town in a couple weeks.
I'm enjoying the overall high power level (even outside my pools). The set plays almost like a cube rather than a regular set release which is pretty cool."To hide a tree, use a forest" -Ninja Boy Hideo- Invisibility

Your removal suite doesn't really fit your deck's aggressive game plan. Seal Away and Nahiri require your opponent's creatures to be tapped to remove them. Your deck cares way more about removing their untapped blockers. Shock and Lightning Strike might be better to hit those creatures or even your opponent's life total if they are low enough.
One of the biggest reasons to be Boros instead of just white or red is Heroic Reinforcements, so I'd say check that card out too."To hide a tree, use a forest" -Ninja Boy Hideo- DeathNote

I did include Nahiri so I could get that First Strike on all my creatures, but I definitely can see the value of Lighting Strikes."Do I have permission to....refute some of the bs that Inferno just spewed out?"--TywinL

Way too many 2-ofs and 3-ofs. You should figure out which cards you want and which ones you don't. Aggro decks should be jamming duplicates even harder than control."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

for positive feedback, having the willpower to contain Lira Dawnbringer to the sideboard is a good look"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds.

Kk.
I guess a good start is to cut Seal Away for Shock and Jaya’s greeting for Lighting Strike. Then I cut Healer’s Hawks for an extra Kwende and Tajic? And Switch the Sigiled Swords for Forebearers?
Now from there:
Sheltering Light I’ve been using to protect Kwende, but now that I’m running 4, should I cut them? What for?
Is there something better than Fresh-Faced Recruit? I was keeping it for Kwende synergy, but it’s not great."Do I have permission to....refute some of the bs that Inferno just spewed out?"--TywinL

I didn't see Dauntless Bodyguard in your list if I remember right, and it's a great way to protect Kwende without being a total derp if your opponent isn't actually trying to kill your stuff."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds.

Almost wondering if I switch out Jousting Lance for Blackblade here."Do I have permission to....refute some of the bs that Inferno just spewed out?"--TywinL

If you're dead set on keeping Nahiri, maybe you should run the 1 mana 1/2 tapper for War of the Spark so that she can shoot more things. Or play with Trueheart Captain so you can finish people off with the wombo combo.
If Kwende gets Lightning Striked and you're fighting a green deck with a bunch of untapped creatures that happen to have toughness values that make first strike irrelevant Nahiri can become a blank card and that's scary.
6 Mountains is way too many mountains for running Benalish Marshal, you should just cut all of them.
The Jousting Lances do seem pretty derpy but it looks like you need 2's more than 3's. Maybe Knight of Grace or something."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

Not being a squirrel himself makes him even more of a "Lord". Original "Lords" never had the creature type of the thing they improved. They gained them later by errata.
But yeah I was hoping to see a squirrel or two in modern horizons just for the flavor reasons.
Also, technically Inferno could be referring to the 7 mana colorless Squirrel lord, who is a squirrel himself, and doesn't vanish
But, I think he was talking about the card that's going to get us adorable little squirrel tokens."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds.
