Top 8 at FNM —May 6, 2016
2-2 at FNM
8th position for me this week.
0-2 to Mill
This player won the night.
2-0 against
Hard to tell what type the deck was, because I beat him before he played much.
2-0 against Control
Game 1 was a Turn 5 win.
He wanted to play a third game. I won that too. He was not happy, Jan.
0-2 to Vampires
I lost to this deck last week as well.
I need to have a think about now to Sideboard better against the Madness Vampires, as that is proving to be my toughest match up.

I'm not going to add any of these Creatures to the deck because, although they are very good on their own, with other Humans, or with Allies, they have no synergy with Equipment:
Lantern Scout
Firemantle Mage
Avacynian Missionaries
Flip
Thraben Inspector
Expedition Envoy
Town Gossipmonger
Flip
I don't need early threats in my deck because I have early answers, that get rid of my Opponent's early threats.

Have you ever toyed with Harvest Hand Flip? I personally thought it would be interesting, but never got around to testing it.

It's an interesting idea but it doesn't have great synergy with this deck for the following reasons:
When it enters the field it is not a Human, an Ally, or an Equipment, so it doesn't give or get immediate buffs.
When it flips it does offer +1/+1 and Menace for Humans, but it would probably have to be switched for True-Faith Censer. I like the +1/+1 and Vigilance better, with the extra +1 Power for Humans. Just seems like much better value to me because the non-humans still get the +1/+1 and Vigilance.
StuBi says... #1
Hasn't been a problem using Lightning Axe against smaller Creatures.
I just discard what ever I have too many of.
As people have pointed out, I have a lot of extra land, so I often discard one of those.
I will discard an equipment or a creature if I feel I have enough of those in hand.
I've found that I don't need much equipment to make the deck go off.
I guess it's one of those situations where what you suppose might happen in theory is not happening in reality.
I have Devour in Flames in my Sideboard.
Top decking has yet to be a problem for me, but if an equipped Creature dies and Stone Haven Outfitter is on the field I do get extra draw.
