18 Dec 15 FNM @ Madness 2-1 —Dec. 19, 2015
Last night was pretty good! Only played three rounds - I dropped the last round to play some edh.
Let's review:
Boros Mentor Storm 1-2: jank build, but very cool. The pilot built it off of a storm deck, so it had Pyretic Rituals and Past in Flames to make a bunch tokens with Young Pyromancer and Monastery Mentor. I got game one pretty solidly, keeping open countermagic to stop a Lightning Bolt off of a Simian Spirit Guide. Game two was pretty close. He got out Mentor and kicked a Goblin Bushwhacker to Knock me down, and I could only get in 9 poison counters, so he won next turn. Rough stuff. Game three he landed a T2 Mentor and slaughtered me. He was a pretty cool fellow, and we talked awhile after the game.
Mono-U Turns 2-1: undoubtedly the most fun I've had playing non-commander magic in a long time. Game one I had no idea what was going on. He Gigadrowsed me a few times but I got him. I had no clue what to sideboard, so I picked Spellskite, Twisted Image, and Dispel. So game two happened. He Exhaustioned me and then the turns began. Then it all became clear. For the next twenty minutes he took turns and kept me tapped down. But I will tell you, I had so much fun watching that deck go! My inner Johnny was ecstatic! I managed to topdeck a fetch and bring in a Breeding Pool with a Spell Pierce in hand. I had one shot. I pierced his awakened Part the Waterveil. If he had no responses, he would have no mana to exhaust me with, and I could get in the final poison counter. Swan Song is a thing. I got a swan and that was that. Game three I sided back in Mutagenic Growth and won pretty quickly. So. Much. Fun.
Soul Sisters 2-0: I felt kind of bad. This is a pretty easy matchup for infect, of course. Game one was over quickly, and I wasn't sure what he was doing. White weenies? Game two I Gitaxian Probed and I realized it was the sisters. He got out Serea Ascendant, but I got out Inkmoth Nexus and pumped her up. GG.
