So I finally got this to fnm Friday. I went 3-1 lost in the final round to be champ and took 3rd.
Round 1- Bye
Round 2- I played jeskai tempo and 2-0. I was actually to fast for him and had removal for his threats. Plus all the life gain. :)
Round 3- I played a B/U control with win con of Prognostic Sphinx. I won 2-1. First game I got mana screwed and drew nothing but big threats. Secind game I nickled and dimed him with all my low drops literally cause I stuck on three mana but it was all I needed. The third game I played all creatures and walkers on curve and just smashed him.
Round 4- I was against Abzan midrange but not the Ari Lax version possibly a little better one. I lost 2-1. First match mana screwed couldn't get a white source so I couldn't do much. Second game i got stuck on three mana for a few turns as he flooded those turns. I then hit my lands and I had all the fire power I needed to win. Game 3 we were back and forth with creatures but he then gained the upper hand so I had to use a end hostilities cause he had rhinos and coursers. After I tried to drop my fatties but he removed two butchers and I never hit another removal and he hit another rhino. I then had to drop a wingmate with no trigger and he then removed that as well. If I would have hit removal I would have won cause I had a liliana out he wasn't hitting that I could have tutored with if I could have lasted another turn. Also in this match I feel i messed up and should have never sided in end hostilities and instead should have sided in thoughtseize.
All in all great run for its first fnm seeing as I never got to play test against anything except a jank Abzan deck.
