Performed better than expected —Oct. 13, 2017

I took this snazzy deck to a small modern fnm and it was excellent. I managed to go 2-1. Here is the game break down.

Round 1: 1-2. I played against a red white burn deck. Game one I won because he got mana screwed. Game two I lost because I got mana screwed. Game three was insanely close. We both drew well and our decks both performed correctly. It ended with my opponent at 1 life, no hand, and him top decking a burn spell for the win.

Round 2: 2-0. Somebody else was crazy enough to bring a standard deck and paid the price. It was kinda close but I pulled ahead both games. Again my opponent had no hand.

Round 3: 2-1. The first game was super upsetting. I was facing an infinite combo mill deck and it ended with my opponent at 3 life and me at 19. I unknowingly set off the combo by killing one of his creatures with torment of venom and then died. The next two games were close but lost legacy killed his combo and I won.

I'd say 2-1 in modern isn't to shabby for this cheap of a standard deck. After the fnm I played a standard RDW and won 2-1 and then played a single game against a hapatra -1/-1 counters deck and dismantled fairly easily partially because of my opponent not drawing well but regardless I think I would have won. Cards I never sideboarded in include torment of scarabs, yahenni's expertise and my totem. Considering running Scavenger Grounds mainboard and getting rid of the totem in exchange for more duress and removal. The biggest over-performer was ifnir deadlands. This card saved me probably around 6 times.
