A better night of FNM with this deck. All the changes I made to the deck were well received.
Match 1: Win (2-0)
I played against solid Loleth Troll scavenge deck.
Game 1: He didn't draw any creatures, missed creatures with Grisly Salvage. and overall just wasn't drawing anything useful. I put down a Vampire Nighthawk on turn 3 and played Increasing Savagery on turn 4 for a severe beating. It was over on turn 6.
Game 2: He got a Lotleth Troll out early and started discarding scavenge creatures to the troll. As he dropped me to 3 life, he tapped out and I was able to Murder the troll without fear of regeneration. After that, I put a Dreg Mangler out and caught Blessings of Nature on a miracle and that was the end of the game.
Match 2: Loss (0-2)
G/W Ramp. Lots of mana elves to build up mana to put out Armada Wurms.
Game 1: He got an Armada Wurm out early and I couldn't defend against it.
Game 2: I had to peel my jaw off the floor after what happen in this round. Of course he started out early with lots of mana elves. Then he surprised me with a Sublime Archangel and paired it with Silverblade Paladin and swung for 22 flying on turn 5.
Match 3: Win (2-0)
A B/R deck with very little synergy. This match wasn't very memorable, he didn't seem to have focus and was crushed in each game
Match 4: Win (2-1)
A red goblin deck with Krenko, Mob Boss as the center of the deck.
Game 1: I was unable to get any green mana and I had a hand full of green cards. So I sat and watched as he trampled me with goblins.
Game 2: I got my green mana this round and was able to get creatures built up. Golgari Charm took care of the token goblins and Murder took care of Krenko, Mob Boss for me. After that I was able to crush him with my counter stacked creatures.
Game 3: Same as game 2
Match 5: Loss (1-2)
A Rakdos flavored RDW. Using Stromkirk Noble and Hellrider as the primary attackers.
Game 1: Primordial Hydra crushes small creatures, especially when you pair it with Increasing Savagery. He scooped immediately after I hit 10 counters
Game 2: He boarded in a lot of direct damage spells to kill my creatures before I could build up any counters. After all my creatures were killed, I was easy pickings.
Game 3: He had also boarded in Traitorous Blood and took control of a counter stacked Predator Ooze. and killed me with it.
All in all it was a good night with a 3-2 overall. I was happy with all of the changes and I thinking about a few more changes. Once I have made up my mind, I will list the changes.
