Latest FNM results —Nov. 10, 2012
Most recent FNM - Nov. 9: First, made some tweaks based on help from a respected player. The Supreme Verdict helped me well - need another copy to add. Also can see taking the Mizziums down. Not finding them to be showing up much. Probably bring in the add'l Doomed Travelers from the S/B and another Verdict or Sphere. Faced a nasty UW deck loaded with Geist of Saint Taft, Sublime Angel, etc. It was not pretty, and I went down 0-2 quickly. Second match I won 2-1 against a RB Rakdos thing with Vampires and alot of haste: the kid was actually toying with me and "giving me a chance!" I won the first game with no real worries. Lost the second game with some mana screw. On the third game, with more mana screw for me, he said he'd slow down and give me a chance - I told him that was a mistake, and then promptly drew land and came back for the match win. The third match was a stronger RB with a definite heavier Vampire flavor, and I struggled ALL three games with mana issues. I lost the first game, and fought back each of the last two games to get the match. Overall 2 - 1 in match play, 4-4 in games.
Xinofos - thank you for the suggestions! I've heard the Midnight Haunting comment in person a couple times as well, and as soon as I get some, will re-work. Ditto on multiple Doomed Travelers. I am trying to go with what I have and keep it cheap. Cost will go up as I roll in suggestions here in a couple minuites from another player I converse with.

Why not run Midnight Haunting and Oblivion Ring s? Especially when haunting is at instant speed.
I would also advise for more Doomed Traveler s and drop over-manaed cards like Spectral Gateguards and 1 off drops like Rebuke . With so many flyers, it might be worth running Favorable Winds or, if more tokens where added, Intangible Virtue for buffs. I do like how it's under $40 bucks though. I'll give you a +1 for that (and that's why I didn't suggest obvious like Geist of Saint Traft ). :)
