Second FNM - Version 1.5 —July 24, 2015
Ended up fourth with 1-2 after a relatively disappointing evening. Match one was against my friend running his deck:orzhov-warriors-1st-place-at-fnm. I won that matchup 2-0 after he had mana problems. Lost the second match 1-2 against mono-red aggro. Not much to say here, just didn't draw all that great. The final match was against another mono-red aggro deck. Lost this match as well, 1-2. I took game one after a turn 3 Mantis Rider and a timely Soulfire Grand Master to give me 9 life through Lightning Strike and Roast. Ended up having to mulligan to 5 after two hands with one land. My third hand had 5 lands, but at that point I just hoped to draw spells. A Mantis Rider and a Thunderbreak Regent couldn't make up the life deficit from 3 turns with no board against mono-red. The last game ended with me only having two mana sources, so I couldn't cast the two Mantis Riders and the Jeskai Charm in my hand.
Changes to make: Add a 23rd land? Not sure about this one, as for most of my games, mana isn't a problem...
