11/22/13 FNM —Nov. 23, 2013

1st match: 2-0 Red, 1st round no land destruction just beat him the ol' ramp Gruul way. 2nd round land locked when I side boarded Peak Eruption.

2nd: 0-2 Black, First round I didnt get the ramp I needed after mulliganing down to 6 and he knew well enough to Doom Blade and Heroes Downfall my mana ramp. He over took me with Desecration Demon and Nightveil Stalkers. Round 2 mulligan to 6, keeping 3 elves and a Encroaching Wastes I didnt get the ramp i needed and got off to a late start. He finished me off with a Gray Merchant of Asphodel for 9. First match his lifegain was really hard to deal with as well. Skullcrack???

3rd: 1-2 Blue/White/Green, I did fairly well. The matches I lost I was mana flooded. 5 of 6 draws were mana. He was down to 2 land and a clear board. All I had was my mana dorks swinging for 1 but give blue/white/green 5 turns and he's going to roll over you. The Simic Charm was my huge downfall giving his lands hexproof. but I played him the week before and destroyed him so he wanted to be ready for me.

4th: 2-0 Mono Green, 1st round he got a lot of little 1/1 2/2 3/3s out with ramp. But by turn 5 I wiped with an overloaded Mizzium Mortars soon after winning with a Stormbreath Dragon. 2nd round he kept a one mana hand and got to see the full use of land D. He never got more then 2 mana and I won easily.

5th: 2-0 Black/White, A very fun match-up. It was hard to keep his land down since he drew mostly land. He kept a lot of mana in his first hand not knowing what my deck did. He got off a Desecration Demon but Xenagos, the Reveler let me make saytrs and never let him swing. I eventually gained control and overan him with a monstrous Ember Swallower. 2nd round he shocked a land for 2 thought seized my Bramblecrush then his next two plays were 2 Read the Bones. Putting himself down to 12 he managed to get out 2 Demons but with no cards in hand I managed to top deck a Plummet then Xenagos, the Reveler for mana to monstrous Stormbreath for 5 damage then sacked the elf to leave him open for the killing blow. Both matches fun and very close.
