FNM - September 2nd, 2016 / 2-1 and 1st place
It is kind of sad but for the last month or such people has stopped attending to the modern FNM at my LGS =(
Match 1 vs G/R Tron (1- 2) So I win game one as usual, but for games two and three something happened and somehow I lost this match. I think they went too long so he was able to raced me.
Match 2 vs Naya Burn (2- 0) This was a very nice match. I won game one because Mardu is faster than Naya on game one. Game two was a very nice one (Sideboard out bump in the night to cut black to avoid damages), I keep my hand with one land, 3 Lightning bolts, Boros Charm, Skullcrack and Lightning Helix. He cast his guide on T1 and I left him hit me with in in order to get my 2nd land, I used one of my bolts to kill his Monastery Swiftspear and he cast a 2nd Goblin Guide, I left him hit me with both Guides and I took my 2nd and 3rd lands from them . With my 2nd and 3rd lands I was able to searing blaze the 2nd Goblin guide, Bolt his Wild Nacatl and Lightning Helix his 3rd Goblin guide.
The game finish with him on 7 lives ( I was on 1 life), with 4 lands on play I cast Boros Charm, he responded with Deflected Palm, but I responded back with Skullcrack so he took all my 7 damages.
Match 3 vs Bant Eldrazi (2-0) I was looking to play vs Bant Eldrazi since it is a deck that I think will see many play on the future. He was playing the non-Collected Company version or at least I think he was because he never cast it.
It took me 3 games since I won the 1st game quite easy he got me on the second game with double Thought-Knor Seer and Eldrazi Displacer. However back to game 3 I got a wonderful 5 one drops, searing blaze and 1 land, I kept the hand and I got my land on T2, that allowed me to searing blaze his Noble Hierarch to put him on 6. Double lava spike finished the job.

Surgical Extraction works well with Kitchen Finks and other graveyard threats. Just cast it in response to the persist trigger :)

Also you seam to deviate from the sacred path of burn strategy :) do not kill creatures unless they gain your opponent million life. Path to exile is an excellent removal but it does not do any damage and your game is a race so you are looking for a tempo solutions. There is Skullcrack obviously but against abzan lifelink you also got Deflecting Palm and maybe Rakdos Charm if they tend to put 3+ creatures on. A copy or two of Surgical Extraction is worth considering just because you can cast it for free so they never see it coming.

vexingozar, Melira company is definitely my worst match so I'm bringing some extra hate for it, more 2x1 spells that control their board and an extra Path to Exile to get rid of Kitchen Finks forever.
