Notes of a small sunday event —Oct. 7, 2012
Well the first FNM of this standard the comic book store I go to choose to do another sealed event (I made 3rd in that with a good tempo Rakdos deck) so this sunday was my first chance to really try it out.
Round 1 I went up against w/g midrange he built up his board quickly to go over my early land grabbers and fell right into my board wipes, Jace, Memory Adept did clean up.
Round 2 was against b/g zombies, without powerful lifegain effects it didn't matter if I stabilized I couldn't take advantage of that window of time.
Round 3 I went up against esper solar flare both games we fought well for control of the field, he won the battle for card advantage, but Jace ensured I had the advantage in remaining deck size and Sigarda, Host of Herons was there to protect him.
Round 4 I was against Jund Zombies and it was pretty much the same as round 2.
Overall i feel that I definately need more lifegain, Thragtusk would be optimal, but I may have to make due with possibly Rhox Faithmender, or Centaur Healer.
