FNM Report 4/27/13 —May 4, 2013
So this is the report of LAST WEEK'S FNM. I couldn't get to it in a timely manner due to prereleases and such.
The FNM Report for the week AFTER this one is right below this one due to weird timestamp reason.
Went 3-2 and did not top 8. That night was prerelease night so it was 5 rounds with auto-split in top 8.
R1: RUG Elves (L 0-2)
One of the coolest non-netdecks I've seen in a while. This deck accelerates hard with Arbor Elf and Gyre Sage and Elvish Archdruid into Master Biomancer and possibly Craterhoof Behemoth after a few Clones or so. This deck is designed to go over the top of midrange decks and then some so naturally I got my ass handed to me. Man I love Master Biomancer.
R2: Humanimator (W 2-1)
Your usual human reanimator deck. He got the combo off in game 1. Won game 2 thanks to Purify the Grave targeting Angel of Glory's Rise and locking his combo down until I have damage to go over. Game 3 wasn't too much of a problem when he went limp after missing the combo and me putting the pressure on with Thragtusk and a few recurs.
R3: Grixis Mill (W2-0)
Ah. This deck again. He never got a good mill streak going other than the Mind Grind for 5 in game 1, which I somehow recovered from.
R4: Orzhov....???? (W 2-0)
Not sure what this dude was running. He was running BW something. I completely blanked out on key cards he played but the records on life totals indicated that Obzedat, Ghost Council got played at some point. Wasn't too much of a highlight that night so that's probably why. Sorry.
R5: ???? (L 1-2)
I forgot to write down the deck I played in this round. A very small sliver of memory suggests that it was Rakdos Aggro since the life totals on his side never went back up (which eliminates pretty much everything BUT the most aggro of aggro) so I am going to safely assume that it was in fact Rakdos Aggro. Ridiculous curving paired with a few cards I did not expect to see sealed it for me. Firefist Striker is such a sleeper card and is fantastic against midrange and aggro alike. Turn 4 Hellrider into turn 5 Falkenrath Aristocrat in two of the games is hard to deal with.
Welp. That is all for that week.
