Needs a lot of work. I took this to my first FNM and got obliterated. Ended up going 0-4-1 (tie was against control mirror in which I won one of matches, one of the losses was to my friend and I gave him the match without playing it).

I think my play was very poor and I'm going to give it another shot, but it didn't seem to play well against much of any of the decks. I got beat by Bant Coco and Abzan Aggro (took one of the matches though), and in the last game I got 2-0'd against some Eldrazi ramp deck. I think I probably could have won this one, but I was titled by this point and pretty unhappy. Plus I got mana screwed on the first game.

I think I either need to add in more blue (counterspells) or completely remove it. Regardless, I need a more solid set of win cons. I could usually make it into the later rounds, but by that point my life total was so low that using Ob Nix to draw cards was a bad idea. Earlier threats (2-3 CMC) could also help me get some pressure on the board and create blockers, and it wouldn't hinder me much because most of my removal is sorcery speed anyway.
