First Friday Night Action (3-1) —Aug. 17, 2016
I took this deck to Friday Night Magic and it performed actually really well.
Match 1: (White Aggro) 0-2 I lost this match, mostly because I was unable to get a good hand. I did not draw land and against an agro deck that proved fatal. So I cannot say this match showed the power of my deck sadly.
Match 2: (Blue Rise from the tide) 2-0 Opponent played loads of control to get instants and sorceries in the graveyard to get many zombies with Rise from the tides. Luckily, due to ETB effects, I drained his life before he was able to successfully attack me.
Match 3: Black/White Lifedrain deck. (2-1) Opponent played roughly the same deck but with more "different" lifedrain cards and more eldrazi. I lost 1 round due to drawing no lands. Otherwise, my deck had more synergy and control.
Match 4: Red/Blue Fevered Visions Eldrazi (2-1) This match was both horrible and awesome as I haven't had such a tense match in a while. Opponents strategy, get fevered visions on the field and use Nettledrone and Molten Nursery to ping for life. Matches were pretty even and intense. Luckily, managed to win.

Thanks for the comment.
I am unsure if I want to sideboard March from the Tomb as in playtests this worked as a real bomb most of the time.
Sorin Grim Nemesis I won't sideboard as it is just too expensive for me to buy sadly.
I agree on the Emissary and Envoy switch.And haven't even thought about Chaplain's blessing.

I would want to move March from the Tomb to the side-board to add in a couple of Accursed Witch Flip, giving a creature that can be sacked for Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, but which can also attack and no-one wants to counter or remove it. I would certainly put Sorin, Grim Nemesis into the side-board or change out for 2 Isolation Zone. 4 Drana's Emissary is always a good idea, possibly giving up a Vampire Envoy, which really depends on you keeping a Cliffhaven Vampire on the field.
If you are considering the last effect of Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, some Alms of the Vein or Chaplain's Blessing in the side-board might help.
