Well... sort of an FNM update. I wasn't able to make it to our standard tournament, but I was able to show up after the fact and play a few rounds against a couple of different decks.
First up was (from what I could tell) a Mardu superfriends deck with Chandra, Sorin, Kalitas, and Nahiri.
Game one, from my memory, went like this:Turn 2: played Transgress the Mind and ripped a Chandra from his hand (which scared the shit out of me because I had no idea what this guy was running).Turn 3: Wasteland Strangler which was then burned with Fiery Impulse on his turn.Turn 4: Thought-Knot Seer, ripping Kalitas from his hand.Turn 5: Reality Smasher and swinging for 9 (at this point, all he had on the field were land creatures like shambling vent.)The rest of the game went in a similar fashion, with me ripping cards from his hand before he could manage to cast them and whittling down his life total.
Game 2 started in a pretty similar fashion, ripping big threats from his hand. Turn five he was able to get out Nahiri, but by that time I had a decent board presence so I wasn't too worried. Turn 6 I was able to play an Oblivion Sower and hit four lands with his ability. Turn 7 Conduit of Ruin, searching up Ulamog. Turn 8 Ulamog, exiling Nahiri and a shambling vent, and at this point the game was over.
On Monday I'll be taking the deck to a Standard tournament at our card shop, so we'll see how it does there!
