Matchup: Red/Black
Game 1: We had a nice aggressive start, grasping scoundrel into glint sleeve into ruin raider, but got blown out by Goblin Chainwhirler into Unliscenced Desintegration with a Heart of Kiran in play. Ended up losing.
Game 2: Kept a sketchy hand with 1 land, 3 one drops and 3 gifted aetherborn, but we managed to topdeck the land and play out our hand. They boarded in glorybringer, which was a problem as it killed one of our Aetherborn, but we topdecked Cast Down We ended up grinding them out with the aetherborn along with Glint-Sleeve Siphoner and a March of the Drowned (which performed very well, might add another copy).
Game 3: Both me and my opponent got land screwed, but I could actually operate on 2 lands where they couldn’t realistically because of the way they boarded. Ended up winning.
Overall: Based Solely on this match, I think the matchup is pretty much as I originally thought; with us losing game 1, but boarding in better things in games 2-3. However, I never saw a Hazoret hit the table and Unliscenced Disintegration is way better than I thought in this match, so I don’t know if it is representative of the actual matchup. Will need to test further to be sure.
