I went to FNM the day before to play test my Red/Green deck since I hadn't played type 2 all year I figured I should get a little practice in and see the decks being played in action. After playing it a few rounds I came to the conclusion that this deck is no were near good enough to make top 8 so I went over a few of my Magic buddies and asked them what I should build and they suggested I go with mono-black control since I have a playset of Thoughseize. I traded for a lot of mono-black stuff and went home to get some sleep for the next day but when I got home and looked at what I had I realized the deck didn't have anywhere near enough creatures so I decided to go with burn so I started searching through my stuff for the best burn cards for my deck and finished the main deck minus the cards I was going to have to get tomorrow. The next morning I got up and worked the sideboard for about a half-hour, tossed my deck in my Zapdos deck box, grabbed my Pokecenter playmat, and headed to the tournament. When I got there I couldn't find pat460 and he had the 2 Incinerates I needed but he showed up in a few minutes and I borrowed the other cards I needed from 2 of my friends now on to round 1 but first the deck list.

Round 1
Me vs. some guy
Mono Red Burn vs mono red
His deck was really wierd since he was running Shivan Dragons and the Red Akroma. Game 1 I was able to kill him with a few Mogg Fanatics and a few burn spells since he didn't draw more than 2 lands the whole game. Game 2 I don't see much of anything and he sees one of his Shivan Dragons with plenty of lands to pump it. Game 3 it goes back and forth he has a few big walls so I can't get to him with any of my creatures. He drops his Akroma and passes on the end of his turn I burn out his flying blocker and threaten his Akroma to do just enough to kill him.
1-0
Round 2
Me vs. Matt Viviani
Mono Red Burn vs Mono Red Elementals
I've known Viviani for years and I know he's real good but I've gotten a lot better over the years. We're both like mono red eeh. It goes back and forth both games as the mirror match would but I end up taking the match. Good games Matt.
2-0
Round 3
Me vs. Jeremy St. Clair
Mono Red Burn vs. Mono Red (Can I play against anything but mono red!!!)
Game one he gets a great start and takes an early lead me being land flooded doesn't help :-(. Game 2 He gets stuck on 2 lands for a few turns and I Incendiary Command one of his land basically for the game. Game 3 He suspends a Gargadon on turn 1 and gets the Mogg Warmarshall and everything to sack for it. Great games sir.
2-1
Round 4
Me vs. Keenan Richard
Mono Red Burn vs. Red/Green Aggro
I'll just say both games he suspended a Gargadon turn on and then dropped and Mogg Warmarshall and then a Keldon Marauder and then when he got his Gargadon into play he swong with it and his Treetop Village. GG Keenan
2-2
Round 5
Me vs. Jose Torres
Mono Red Burn vs. Red/Black/Blue control.
His deck was really interesting game one he got me with a blaze for like 28 after he removed like 7 counters from 2 storage lands. Games 2 and 3 I'm able to burn him out fast enough.
3-2
Round 6
Me vs. Gary Cerefice (I'm not Ash though so I will not loose to Gary!!!)
Mono Red Burn vs. Black/Green Elves
This is like the worst possible match up for him. Every time he drops a creature I burn it. I win this match quite easily.
4-2
I end up coming in 14th out of 47, not bad for someone who didn't play Type 2 in about a year.

Seing how many Magic players use Pokemon deck boxes.
Slops
Not making Top 8.
Not having any good places to go get lunch from that are close enough.
