- What decks are you playing?
I think ill be playing my {tyrant of discord} deck, but if my team mate doesnt go this week then i am ripping out the {rest in peace} deck and stomping face!
{Battle of Wits} until rotation, baby.
Junk Frites... I think thats the right name for it ha..
Running out my Esper Spirits again. I've played it at about 2 FNMs (FNM rotates between Limited and Constructed here). So far I'm at .500. Added 8 counterspells (up from 4). It's 61 cards, which isn't the end of the world.

I hate you lol never ever put a thragy in a deck ever again and get out if you do lol
Im considering hitting up a FNM in Dallas Friday if i make it there on time. Can anyone suggest a good LGS in the area?
My Esper Delver (will post a list at some point). Won. Lol jk of course not, I am playing it this week because Delver kills Thragtusk decks, and my Delver will statistically flip 1/2 of the time, considering I am running 30 instants and sorceries. I made a gauntlet to play against on cockatrice, and the deck beats Bant, Zombies, and T-Fog, the three BIG decks in my meta. And yes, T-Fog is super popular in my meta. It's almost complyely formed around T-Fog an decks that are good against T-Fog. It kicked REANIMATOR out of the meta!!! All because I won my stores largest FNM ever with it. 😝 Turbofog is the DECK TO BEAT!!! Oh yea, and Big Red (RDW, but it more like big red, is also part of the popular meta.)

The stars have aligned and I will actually get to play in a Fnm. I will be running a g/w humans deck. I'm not sure what the meta is at our store so I don't know what to expect.
FNM was constructed. Went 3-2 with Esper Midrange. http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?topic=15098.0
Mostly user error again. I love {Augur of Bolas} but 2 different games I used him I passed over {Restoration Angel} and {Runechanter's Pike}. But I love how he can block {Gravecrawler} and most other early game baddies.
Crown Royal Maple 2-0'd me.
No FNM for me. :(
I played G/W humans tonight at FNM standard. I went 2-2 and should have been 3-1 if I hadn't made a stupid mistake on which creature to pump with selensya charm..It was a rookie mistake that I wont make again. From now on I will take a few more seconds to make sure I'm making the right decision, and not let myself feel pressured to decided to quickly. I hope everyone else had as much fun as i did tonight.
I had to use my burn deck because my spirit deck was missing some cards and went 0-3 lol show how burn decks work at my FNM
3-1-1 using an omnisience combo deck. The tie was voluntary to ensure we each got 3 packs. The transformation sideboard saved me against rdw and vamps while the mainboard handled most everything else with minor side ins.
I went 0-0-4 with UW Delver... went to time every match, all against aggro lol a little too grindy vs aggro. One game against GW aggro we didn't even finish game 1.
FNM 12/07/12
- What decks are you playing?
- What does your meta look like?
- Will I ever get through a thread without hating on {Thragtusk}?
- How do you feel about the current standard environment?
- Im playing 5 color lotus again, but i am undecided on the focus for this week. Dennis is playing Competitive Rakdos.
- I expect to see junk re-animator, bant control, selesnya beats, rdw, planeswalker control, ramp in X spells, vampire control, naya aggro, spirits (both aggro and control), low budget tokens, low budget werewolves, and rakdos variants
- I love the randommosity but it hasnt served me too well this month, last week was my best record in a month and im having trouble adjusting to not being in the winner's circle. I have to find the balnce between swallowing my pride to conform to winning strategies and being truly creative.
Draft this week at FNM. I am gonna make next week my last chance with this deck: http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?topic=15098.0
I'm holding out that Control might be viable, unfortunately too many decks are aggro and without an amazing counterspell ({Syncopate} being the only thing really resembling a playable counterspell) and ramp decks I'm having problems.
I've played some form of control/tempo for my entire MtG career, this is one of the worst environments I can remember. I almost need to splash red for {Pillar of Flame} for {Gravecrawler}, {Geralf's Messenger} and mostly any ?/2 creature.
I'm gonna try my altered Jund Control. Went 3-0 last two weeks I played with it, but I needed a nastier deck for meta. Looking at naya, bant, rdw, and plenty of thragtusk this weekend.
Ether GW token or should I use the gorgari event deck I'm buying the one that got thragy and woodland cemetery and that junk what you people think
In my playgroup tonight I went 0-5 in game 1. Then went 20-0 in game 2-3. Standard does have a real problem with no "good" counterspells, {Syncopate} does do work, but not really enough. Aggro is king, my undefeated game 2+ was strictly based on sideboarding my control cards for aggro.

Try {Knight of Glory} in sideboard? The meta shifted so far away from BRaggro at my LGS, GW Aggro is now about 55% the meta. I'm running {Knight of Infamy} to slow down {Silverblade Paladin} & {Loxodon Smiter}.
I'm running one of those defender mill decks with the {Axebane Guardian} + {Galvanic Alchemist} combo. I also run {Ludevic's Test Subject} because I can flip it very quickly. At FNM I went 2-2. Lost to tokens and rakdos Aggro but I beat reanimator and killed a BOW deck :)
3-2 this week. Bad mana screw led to a round 5 loss against a favorable match-up, oh well. 5 color lotus performed very well and still caught people off guard when i dropped three cards and said game over.
The rare Monday night playgroup went 7-0 (we play a bunch of games...) with http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?topic=15098.0 . Gonna play test again Wednesday and Thursday before FNM. I don't love relying on {Runechanter's Pike}, but my lord is that card unstoppable vs. Rakdos.

I'm using my event deck edit but I edited it even more and was able to get a 124/124 creature with trample lol so OP
Im going to be using my Naya Midrange deck that I had posted about.
Im going to be going to the one on Saturday at my LGS... This is the first FNM that I will have attended... Wish me luck!
I am going to piss people off with my new turbo fog deck. We are going to time every round!

Lols
3-1
Lost to a stupid {Lingering Souls} token deck, my deck was acting very shy 1st game and could not get a {Sever the Bloodline} to save my life.
I won first tonight with a janky mill deck that I extracted from my Battle of Wits deck. It only had 4 mill cards: 2 {Jace, Memory Adept}, 1 {Psychic Spiral}, and 1 {Increasing Confusion}.
The star of the deck was {Snapcaster Mage}. I had 3 {Peel From Reality} and 4 {Devastation Tide} so snappy was always back to my hand. So abusive lol
I faced rakdos aggro (2-0), rakdos midrangey (2-1), mono white humans(1-1-1), and jund midrange (2-0).
3-1 with my 5 color Lotus deck. We ended up at a different shop where i didnt know the meta so i didnt feel comfortable playing the fog deck.
I went 2-1 in my first FNM... Got 2nd place with my Naya Midrange... Got 6 packs for 2nd and pulled a {Hallowed Fountain}, {Detention Sphere} and a {Jace, Architect of Thought}... it was a good night haha

Awesome!
1-2 won first match 2/0 second lost 1/2 and same with third so I actually got 5th place lol if I would have won just one more 2/1 instead of losing then I would have got 4th
Only won 2 out of 5 rounds with my white/green/red damage. I have to admit 95% of my losses were a result of very poor shuffling and poor quality hands. Anyone have any shuffling techniques that could help me? The two rounds I did win, it was over in 3-4 turns so I know it's a pretty solid deck.
Im just not feeling the fog yet. I have it ready to go, but i keep deciding to play Lotus for one reason or another.
2-1-1 tonight with my loss and draw both going the same way: game 1 rush out i lose, game 2 i sideboard transform and stomp them, game three they get a lucky top deck that was the only card that could save them from getting blown out.
Went 4-1 with selesnya midrange
2nd place with Turbo Fog! Made two small changes and got there!
1-0-1
1-0-1
2-0
1-1-1
2-0
The list is under bant mists.
Got first again 5-0 with selesnya midrange
Went 2-1 with my human rites that was built right before we started. Hoping to get it running better soon.

My LGS is doing modern this week, so I'm going to play my BW control if I end up going. And by the looks of it, no you won't get through a thread without hating on Thragtusk :P
Granted, he is crazy annoying.
I'm finally going to FNM haven't gone in 2 weeks and I'll use my scavenge deck
Didn't make it, but friend got 3-1 with Naya Beats
4-1 with Bant Mists
Went
2-0
2-0
1-1-1
2-0
Took second with {g}{w}{r} human rites, still pulled a {Sphinx's Revelation} in my prize packs, so I'm happy.
My Fnm was modern as well I used a mono black vampire, with bloodcrank and exquisite sanguine came 8th
Played esper reanimate with spirits, went 2-1, tie, 0-2, 0-2, then 2-1. Had some pretty bad draws and matchups, rdw is the worst haha
Went 3-1-1 with selesnya midrange

What format you going to? I'm starting to get into modern but still playing standard
Back to Legacy and i wanna play more EDH. I quit standard many years ago, and came back after some time. Just taking a break. Might be a year, may be a few months.
Modern format doesn't interest me all that much, the banned list is too extensive and it doesn't seem as healthy as Legacy.
I need opinions I ether play RB Agro or GB scavenge i haven't been there in 2 weeks and the mete changes a lot at the place what will work the best
2-1 last night with g/ w humans. I was one turn away from 3-0. Ended up getting 2 packs. :)
0-3 with my frites :(. Played Golgari aggro the first two, and Esper spirits the third. It was a ton of fun though.
Oh and it turns out that two guys i work with play Magic. Shinfo.
Went 2-2 at 2 headed giant, and then straight into the prerelease at midnight. There I went 3-1 and won 6 packs of Gatecrash. They will be handing those out next week when it is released because they did not have all their prize support.
Went 4-1 with selesnya's closet, lol the deck is allot of
Fun.
Had modern tournament and I used standard deck went 2-1 got third or second place never found out which the person who won used soldiers and went 3-0 flawless didn't lose one fight
At the gatecrash prerelease I went 2-2.
Went went 7-0-1 with Nya humans basically Boros with green splashed, intentional draw to make top 8, 32 player fnm was it was awesome!!
Went
3-1 with selesnya midrange
Went 6-0 ^.^ Control Junky
3-1 with naya zoo!
FNM got cancelled. Damn New England weather lolz. Seriously, an indoor tournament got snowed out. Straight fail.
4-0 last Friday night with my Naya midrange. Easily one of the best (if not the best) decks in standard right now. It's all around great, and there is nothing that poses a serious problem for it.
3-2 with boros aggro.
Went 0-2 with a mono red I threw together, just was not consistent. Then played in another event and went 3-0 with an aggro gruel deck.
3-1
With rdw
4-1-0 uwr control for the win 😈😈
Got second with my mono black heartless deck. My only loss was to the guy who came first, who was rocking a {U}{W}{B} control and milling deck. He milled me out twice with {Jace, Memory Adept} and {Nephalia Drownyard} quicker than I could drop him to 0.
I went 3-1 with my bant auras only loss was to the aristocrats for not having 3x {rest in peace}es in my sideboard.
5-0 at fnm with 5 color control.
-Beat elven ramp fairly easy, one wrath and then turn aggro with kessig.
-Beat orzhov bleed with relative ease.
-Beat sylvan crypt. This was an interesting deck. The basic idea was {crypt ghast} and dork ramp into big dudes like {sylvan primordial}. The land destruction sub theme was threatening but some well played {slaughter games} and {snapcaster mage} got it.
-Beat werewolves. Lost game one to rush and then brought in extra creatures that were bigger than his to buy time into {terminus}. Games two and three were easy.
-Beat american control. This was difficult to play but over all a fairly easy match when you play carefully.
P.S. Oddly {rhox faithmender} made a huge impact on the games tonight. The extra life, the blocking, and the durability to survive and then get pumped with kessig.
Dennis and Danny from my team each got 4-1 with reanimator combo. Dillon got 3-2 or 4-1 (i didnt hear how his last match went) with Roach which is the esper token/ aristocrat build I developed.
This past Friday I went 4-1 with my bant auras so I top 4ed. Lost to Red Green agro. I've reconfigured my deck deck again and after main boarding a couple of {detention spheres}, {Garruk relentless}, and a 4th {gift of orzhova} I'm ready to try again this upcoming Friday.
{feeling of dread} usually gets you enough time to get it in that match up.

{feeling of dread} usually gets you enough time to get it in that match up.
I was going to go with feeling of dread and it's in the sideboard but it just didn't do enough to be main boarded. I was overwhelmed with too many creatures, usually of the same name. Plus the enchantments add to the synergy and the Garruk can also be a force against control.
40 lost in the top 4 to junk reanimator I was playing my home brew deck bant {seance} / {parallel lives} life deck you can see the deck on my twitch channel @ twitchtv.com/mtgrebel1 one game I was at 160 life with 24 beasts go and watch it ;p
Zombies, you kill it, I bring it back
Bah, second again. I needed good opening hands against the first place deck but didn't get them. Her deck was just too quick and I didn't have enough answers. A few more turns tho and it would have been a different story.
Oh well. Still happy with 2nd place again.
2-0-1
Hey, I'm playing in my first Standard FNM next weekend. Any suggestions? I've heard tri color decks are better than mono or guilds.
It really depends on what everyone else is playing. Just build a deck that is fun to play, and go see what everyone else has. :)
Unless you can build a turn 3 win deck, then just do that. GL HF.
I went 3-2 last night with my bant midrange deck. My 2 losses were to the same deck archetype, esper control. This was a much larger fnm than I'm used to, and a different shop than I usually go to. I needed {Witchbane Orb}, and {Psychic Spiral} in my sideboard, but esper control is never played at the little shop that I usually go to. Much different meta there. :/
I'd say 3 color decks are alot of fun. I started out using a mono red deck but got bored with no options, 3-4 colors gives you those options. My two favorite builds are Naya and Jund, check out my profile for a Naya-midrange build I'm playing this Friday!
5-0 with werewolves this week. Ill explain and post a deck tech in the coming days.
I beat a jund aggro using high power golgari colored dudes with red burn and {madcap skills} and some rakdos color top end like {falkenrath aristocrat}. 2-0
Next was rakdos midrange. I thought it was aggro cause I saw {stromkirk noble} early but then he dropped all this burn and kill before playing a {desecration demon} that got there. So games two and three I out raced him knowing how I should play. 2-1
Game three I thought it was junk reanimator but I beat it two fast to tell. So I sideboarded incorrectly and lost game two. It turned out to be a junk utility (low cost, high impact cards like {deathrite shaman} and {vampire nighthawk}). Once I figured out how to sideboard properly for it I took it. 2-1
Wolf run bant. Shouldve been a hard match but I played around it properly game one since I know the archetype so well I could practically see his hand based on what and how he played. Game two I out raced the wrath with some good sideboarding. 2-0
Jund...my least favorite matchup. This guy stomped my 5CC last time we played and I wasnt sure how it would go. I rationed my threats well and forced awkward plays and blocks while maintaining a threating board presence that could deal damage every turn no matter how small. Game two I sided into a slight speed up but kept some top end so {thragtusk} and {garruk, primal hunter} couldnt bully me out. 2-0
3-0 tied for first at Fnm last night with rdw. I was pretty stoked.
3-1 again with my mono black heartless deck. Again.
I got average hands against a super powerful jund midrange deck that hit all it's cards. Two really close games, but I just couldn't get there.
Equal first! I tied with the other top placed deck as I won the first game, he won the second and we ran out of time with the third.
All in all. Very happy with my mono black deck. It seems to handle all things quite well once I get a good board position.
Won last week with esper making two weeks in a row. My previous plans fell through so I am going to maybe shoot for week three.
Went 4-1 the week before and this week went 5-0 with my Naya midrange build. Glad to end gatecrash strong.
4-1 with esper control. Couldnt quite make it to 3 weeks in a row of placing 1st, but i did get 2nd.
4-0 with USA Control. My lgs only plays 4 rounds lol
Went 4-1
With junk rites
With a massive turnout for out Fnm last night (possibly something to do with pre release)
I did really well. Only had time for 4 rounds so plenty of people ended up on the same points.
I rocked in at equal second (along with 3 other people) only 1 person came first tho.
For possibly the last night, I was running my mono black heartless deck. And I'm actually really pleased with how well it works against all matchups.
I lost a few hands to bad opening hands and deciding not to mulligan, (5 lands, then mana flood was one) however I did win one game keeping 5 land handrails on in the night, so I guess that have me a false confidence that it could work.
Again {black cat} came through with some nice hand destruction, and I won a tough game off someone else's mis-play where I chump blocked with my {Crypt Ghast} so that my two {Reaper from the Abyss}' could destroy two {Boros Reckoner}. Oops!
A really fast naya deck had me game one with no removal, so I sided in more and kept a bad hand which was my undoing of the night. Losing 2-0 we played a third for kicks and a smashed him. (My lesson here was don't keep bad hands)
It was my only loss for the night, but the rest I did really well.
Another round really would have sorted out proper rankings, as I ended above people who didn't drop a game all night. But all good. Everyone went home happy and shall be back in a few hours for the pre release.
5-0 junk rites
Went 5-1 with Naya midrange, getting 2nd.
First game was to bantchantments, which was no problem as I had amazing hands and he didn't draw spectral flights.
Second game was to a rug Aggro mash up, was very interesting to see though and got me looking into some rug decks.
Third & fourth games were against 'Mercia midrange, which were a bit rough until I boarded in {Voice of Resurgence} and {Assemble the Legion}. Assemble was just too much for them as voice stopped them from thinking twice/snap casting something.
Fifth & sixth games were against Jund midrange, which I can easily say is my hardest match up. First round I got slaughtered then boarded assemble and ended up running him over with it. Last game was awful, I have a terrible time mulliganing and ended up going from 1st to 2nd when he 2-0ed me.
All in all great night, happy with the turn out an the rare chance to play 6 matches.
I am going to try out a BUG {Immortal Servitude} deck that I saw on yt, should be alot of fun. Ill hopefully put up the full list within the week.
My rug combo deck wasnt ready so I placed secod with a revamped esper control.
Went 5-0 jund midrange
Last week went 5-0 with junk rites, then people started to run 3-4
Graveyard hate in the sb so I played jund and liked it more.
Rocked in with a second for our game day with the mono black heartless deck :)
Pulled 1st with Grixis super friends last night.
4-0 selesnya tokens
My lgs had Modern or Draft tonight and I only play Standard. So, I tried draft for the FIRST TIME EVER!! And got destroyed lol 0-3 but I pulled a {Bonfire of the Damned} and a {Voice of Resurgence} so I easily got my money back
Went 4-0 tonight.

Bant Primespeaker 2-0
BUG Tempo w/ Delver 2-0

{Biomass Mutation}
Not very happy bout the packs.
I got first place at rtr block draft! Woot woot boros!
I did 3-1 with my espers priest deck. Had a long battle with a jund deck that got me with rakdos return. Finished in forth out of 15 and got a charm promo. So close!
Went 4-1 with beast master bloodrush last night. Took, 7th and I packed a {Deathrite Shaman}, alright.
2-0 win, selesnya event deck -.-
1-2 loss to Boros aggro, game 1 had to mulligan down to three and game three he got out an {Assemble the Legion} and I couldn't keep pace.

Don't you just love blood rushing {Wild Beastmaster} and seeing looks on people when all of a sudden your 1/1 {Arbor Elf} is now a 10/10
Went 5-0 with junk aristocrats. Deffinetly one of the most fun decks I've played. Plus pulling another voice out of my packs made my night that much better.
Dillon got 5-0 with naya auras. Crazy damage potential in that deck. PM me if you want to see a list I dont check here often. Ill post in general how Danny and I do in vegas.
4-1 jund midrange, thinking about playing 4 color rites
0-4 with my BUG Flash.
Alot of aggro this last Friday at the shop very sad considering how well it's been playing.
3rd place out of about 30 with hard esper control.
Got 2nd place, 5-1, using Junk Immortal Servitude only loosing in the final match to esper control.
Just recently built this deck, and having insane amounts of fun with it!
Check out my profile for deck list, as I would love to hear some sideboard options!
4-1 Esper control. Round three I threw the game by not paying attention. Recollected myself and all around had a great night. Danny took top with Rock ({G}{B})
Took 5th with BUG control. Never knew that it could be so versatile. Only issue I see is trying to speed up vs Aggro. Has a lot of answers for midrange and control.
3-1 with American burn/patrol. Might have won the other if not for a mana screw. Placed third, because pretty easy opponents. Got promo {Rakdos Cacjler}.
took 4th last night with Gruul Aggro. FNM was RtR block constructed. this is what i ran
4 {Legion Loyalist}
4 {Rakdos Cackler}
3 {Mugging}
4 {Burning-Tree Emissary}
4 {Gore-House Chainwalker}
4 {Ash Zealot}
4 {Ghor-Clan Rampager}
3 {Armed/Dangerous}
2 {Mizzium Mortars}
4 {Boros Reckoner}
3 {Domri Rade}
2 {Temple Garden}
3 {Gruul Guildgate}
4 {Stomping Ground}
12 {Mountain}
Things I learned: {Domri Rade} is a beast in this format. Get his emblem, 9 out of ten times its game over. {Armed/Dangerous} is a meh card at best. Wished it was something else half the time. There is a definite lack of good direct damage in the format. Went 3-1-1 in swiss, only lose to American Control. Played same person in Top 8 and blew him out of the water. Dropped at Top4 due to it getting late and wife wanting me to come home. Only good pulls from prize packs was a {Young Pyromancer} and Garruk emblem.
Just got top four with my kalonian fight club deck. It's in the standard decks on here! It was awesome to turn 3 garruk then turn 4 hoof a guy haha!
I've been having alot of good luck with the aristocrats. Been going 5-1 or 6-0. My only problem is what to sideboard in and out against jund. Other than that I love the deck

If you got a deck list I would be able to help you out. I have played all versions of aristocrats (act 1, 2, and junk) this way I can see what's in your sideboard and give some advice :)

Also, what is the jund setup that is giving you the most problems? There are quite a few builds out there in those colours.
I honestly think its more of the synergy of my deck than anything. I have skull crack, slaughter games, and assemble the legion to help against jund because I see alot of thrags and Olivia's. ill repost my deck list for the aristocrats and see what else can happen.
Just placed 4th out of 25 people with my kalonian fight club deck. It's in the deck lists in standard on here check it out
Went 5-0 with 4 color reanimater 1st place.
5-0 1st place with g/w midrange. Very fun deck
Esper silence came in 2nd. Didnt place first due to lack of land both games. But that's how the cookie crumbles
3-1, tied for first at draft.
Took my 8 year old to his first Fnm. He went 1-2 with my RDW that he had never played before. He did great, his loses were against 2 of our top players piloting legit decks. I went 2-1 running a r/g aggro deck I borrowed. I lost to the guy I borrowed it from so I didn't feel bad.
4-1 and got second, gruul aggro.
Last night I played esper control. Went 2-1 in our fist tornament and got fourth place. Went 4-1 in the second tornament and got fourth place.

We played again this time my son was 2-2 with RDW. He lost to the girl who won with a nuts g/w deck, and a guy with a g/w life gain deck. I put together a g/w humans deck and went 3-1 with no testing. I lost to a top tier jund deck which ended up taking second place. It was a lot of fun :)
3-2 with Green Fatties both of my losses were to junk rites
3-2 with {Wild Beastmaster}! Lost to Mirican control and also to getting manascrewed BUT I won a game with 1 land though so that was fun. T1 Forest Arbor Elf, T2 Strangleroot Geist T3 Geist T4 Geist lol
I won a FTV {Green Sun's Zenith} though
Won my first FNM!! Thanks to my Gruul Aggro {Wild Beastmaster} deck!! A lot of close games but lets just say Bloodrush is amazing lol. I got Mazed though 😖 but hey still came 1st!!
4-1 with Roach!!! Such a silly deck.
Highlight of the night.
2x {skirsdag high priest} and 5 lands in play
Opponent goes to kill a priest with a sacrificed {festering newt} on their turn
I cast {deputy of aquitals} in response and target the priest to save it, but before I let the ability resolve I tap all three and make a demon. Im not done... I also cast {village bellringer} and make 2 more demons and proceed to swing for 15 on my turn and I saved the priest.
Played at madness in Plano instead of where I normally play, went 3-1 with jund midrange, i had a very close game with the aristocrats and barely lost.
2-2 w/ Green Eggs & Land.
Beat:
Mono {B} Demon's
Naya Blitz
Lost:
Naya Midrange
Jund Midrange
{Scavenging Ooze} completely shut me down.
Had fun and everyone loved the deck.
Defo playing my Red Goblin/Dragon Wins deck this week.

Went 3-0 last night.Red deck wins.
Won Against:
Mono-White Control
Selesnya Tokens

Mulled to 5 first game and 6 second game with almost no fog draws. Just a bad luck game of magic. TONS of fun though!!
4-0 with R/G aggro.
Beat Naya zoo 2-0, Bant hex proof 2-0, Esper control 2-1, and America midrange 2-0
Went 3-0 then pretty much fell asleep for the last round (played bad)
3-2 at my first fnm with my mono white lifegain... should have been 4-1, but I didn't use brave the elements correctly, >_<
Went 4-0 with a Boros Aggro, for first
Against in order:
Gruul Aggro/Midrange (it was in between one game he swung for 7 turn 2 the other he had to set things up)j
Boros Aggro (a mirror match but I kicked his as...butt)
'Murica Control
Gruul Aggro
5-1, second place at fnm tonight with my orzhov lifegain/drain pillow fort deck.. Happy with second since it's my second time at FNM!
I think broken down it was:
2-0, 2-0, 2-0, 2-1, 2-1, 1-2
5-0 with Danny's Rock.
5-0 {B} Zombies
2-0 Boros aggro

2-0 Esper mill
2-1 {G}{B} Homebrew midrange thing
4-0 {W}{B} Lifegain
A lot of the games were close but I pulled it out for first!
Last game was pretty epic against a {R}{W} Aggro. He blitz me game 1, I barely won game two and then:
T1-{Elixir of Immortality}
T2-{Blind Obedience}
T3-{Chalice of Life}
T4-{Rhox Faithmender}
T5-{Archangel of Thune} tapped the Chalice for a counter
T6-{Angel's Mercy}, activated {Elixir of Immortality} and tapped Chalice
T7-{Serra Avatar} and opponent scooped.
I destroyed with an esper heroic at my FNM
First battle was against a BW midrange/control we tied 1-1-1
Second game went against a GR Agro bordering midrange went 2-0
Third game went against a RW Agro he nearly destroyed me with a combo doing 16 damage late game but I still pulled through and beat him that game and next going 2-0
Anybody draft for fnm or is everybody playing constructed?
4-0-1 with State's Bantchantments
I lost one game all night.
3-0 first tornament, 1st place
4-0-1 second tornament, 1st place
Played blue white control
4-1 GW Hexproof. Would've won if I remembered that Ash Zealot had 1st Strike lol
3-0 WNM R/G hyper agro deck with white splashed for {boros charm}
Notable match ups were selesnya enchantments (brought in all the {skullcrack}s, in response burn the 1/1 lifelink enchantment creature)
and junk midrange (not fast enough, brought in a 4th boros charm)
4-0 with Selesnya Hexproof Auras (standard)
The best match was against a Jund deck that I completely shut out, he didn't even make me lose a single life or kill/make me lose a single thing. All he did was play creatures that did nothing for him because we couldn't use the 4-5 removal cards that were in his hand every game.

I too run GW Hexproof and I just laugh at Jund oh you're trying to kill my .poo. too bad I have Hexproof or even a T5 Mortars. Too bad my Gladecover scout is a 7/7 lmfao
Bantchantments took 1st lastnight. 5-0
Haha I ran baby defender and went 2-2. First game was against red white tempo and won with a mind grind for 32 xD second game got smoked and 3rd was ætherling FTW. Lost to selesnya Agro and then naya Agro. Won against black blue control

I didn't. I brought in the skullcracks to counter the life gain and get damage in to wrap it up fast. I used {Lightning Strike} and {Magma Jet} to burn their coveted {Hopeful Eidolon} in response to their buff enchant
Went 4-0 with Esper Control. Barely beat a R-G midrange for first.

My LGS gives store credit. Its a $5 entry fee and you get a pack when you sign up. $2 goes into the prize pool. First place gets $1 for each person and the rest is dived among second and third. For example tonight first place got $18, second $12 and third $6
My shop does 1 pack for playing, 2 packs for 3-2, 4 packs for 4-1, and 7 packs for 5-0. A pack can be turned in for credit instead at $3 a piece. $5 entry.
We do top 4 split cash 20 $ a head unless we have more than 20 players
2/1/1 with u/w heroic last night
5-0 with Golgari Midrange last Friday.
1-2 with my WRGB agro deck. Needs to adjust more to the new meta.
Valuable Lesson of the Week: {Magma Jet} is no good period. {Shock}'s many many times more useful.
Notable Matchups: Esper Control (1-2), GW Midrange (0-2)- magma jet can't take out {Fleecemane Lion} and it's almost a waste to use it on {Soldier of the Pantheon}. Bring in the shocks and {Lightning Strike}s and you'll be alright.
Just went to FNM,lost to a black deck. It killed off everything I had. I was running my new Bant Counters deck.
WNM 2-0 so far with my Naya Heroic
Went 2-1 vs BU {Gray Merchant of Asphodel}
And just got through Blue Devotion 2-0
www.twitch.tv/gamersparadise7
EDIT: 4-2-1 overall
2-0 vs a homebrew {desecration demon}s and {stormbreath dragon}s
Lost 1-2 vs Rakdos Agro; lost the dice roll, and just got outgunned
2-1 vs Broros Agro
Lost 0-2 vs Black Devotion; bringing back the {plumet}s

Nice I went 3-2 damn you MANASCREW!!! Lol what deck did you run/lose to?
I took a shameful homebrew version of mono white one drops 5-0 tonight. It goes against everything I play...
5-0 5 colour control
3-1 with junk reanimator. Was absolutely pooped on by esper control. The look on his face when he thought seized and saw 3 cards in my hand: {angel of serenity}, {lord of the void}, and {ashen rider}. Or the look on my face when my wincon against control was self-mill and {deathrite shaman} for damage. Got 3 shamans out, he {detention sphere}ed them away. I was at 2, he was at 30 with {blood baron of vizkopa} on board. I draw {naturalize}, which he {dissolve}s. He then {dissolve}s his {dissolve}. He then {dissolve}s his {dissolve} which is targeting his {dissolve} targeting my {naturalize}. Man, that was a match.

I think its current with my deck here, u/w heroic.
Dem hidden strings triggers.
I wish there was a ponder type card. If I get all creatures and no spells it doesn't get me there. Especially if I'm running vs aggro.
2-2 with my jund midrange...2-0 on the ones I won and 1-2 on both of the losses...lost to golgari and mono green devotion
p.s. Bad lily isn't bad at all...she did a lot of work for me
I know eh? "Bad" Lili is one of the few ways that Black can deal with a God
Quote from: Mattao19 on November 24, 2013, 08:02:05 PM

And she mana fixed for me and pumped my hydra to take out a xenagos that was bout to ultimate
Oh yeah...her ultimate was very nice paired with {rakdos's return} as well ;)
Xenagos' ultimate (like every PWs Ult.) is just fantastic!
5-0 white weenies.
5-1 playing Kurama's BUG control. (Tweaked it a bit, 1 more abrupt decay, and replaced dissolve in the main with nightveil specters). Was a ton of fun to play, got to cast an opponents sphinx rev from the nightveil/caryatid duo.
Note: I feel Polukranos needs to replace something, had my back against the wall against Mono red devotion. Reaper and prophet were deffinetly the all-stars in the deck. Only loss was against Esper, I just played poorly at the end and never resolved a jace memory adapt.
2nd last night with {W}{G} Hexproof. Lost to Esper control 2-1 in the finals. I played against: Selesnya Tokens and two Esper control decks.
5-0 5 colour control
6-0 with {G}{W} Hexproof. My toughest matchup was against a Boros Heroic who T1-{Favored Hoplite}, T2-{Madcap Skills}, T3-{Titan's Strength}. Luckily, with lifegain I was able to stabilize.
3-1 with Kalio's mono white variation
Played 2 blue devotion, and 2 Esper control decks. Dropped a match to blue devotion. No answer to mutavault,
Edit: {Pithing Needle} I have an answer now :)
Legacy burn tomorrow night!
Turn 1: {Rakdos Cackler}
Turn 2: 2x {Burning-Tree Emissary}, {Firefist Striker}
Maaaan that game was fast lol B)
2-2. No sideboard=no go...

Can you bump your list?
Ima start doing what DudeCore was doing!
FNM 1/18/13
-what decks are you running?
-What's your meta look like?
-How do you predict you'll do?
-How do you not rage on {Aetherling}?
-Izzet Skies, if I can finish it.
-Mostly Johnny Aggro stuff, very cool and hard to SB against.
-{Pithing Needle}?
-Homebrew Esper
-A lot of control or gruul..
-I'll lose to gruul like always
-I counter theirs then play mine 😉

-3-2?
-You don't.
Went 2-2 with orzhov enchantments
After tonight, gruul just seems so... incredible
4-1 27 angry one drops. I need the credit so nothing creative this week.
3-2 with arcanist infinite combo died to RDW both rimes
Highlight of last night was turn 3, 3x {Ethereal Armors} on a {Daggerdrome Imp}. Throw in {Angelic Blessing} and it was over.
4-0-1 with {Hundred Handed One} the Deck. My meta is a lot of aggro so....
4-2 for second with Rakdos Agro - lost to Esper (2-1, I misplayed his Jace -2 early on to lose for 1st place) and BUG (2-1, all really close games) but beat that same BUG deck in the top 4.
FNM 1/31/14
-what is your meta like?
-what decks are you using?
-how do you think you'll do?
-will I ever recover from accidentally spilling water on my freshly-pulled {Voice of Resurgence}?
I ran a blue white Deck build around Daxos of Meletis with a ton of clones and enchantments. It tended to wreck the Monsters decks and the mono blue decks, but I had a little trouble with mono black. I got swamped by pack rats twice. Its not a fun way to lose. My overall score from the night was 8-2

Nice! Also you play UW try to add some {Supreme Verdicts} or even {Detention Spheres} :P but awesome job! 8-2 is great
Thanks. The detention sphere did some work against a monsters deck. And Supreme Verdict wipes out all my enchantments which is not a happy wya to do it
First tonight. Won 3 rounds, 6-1. Only game I lost was to {W}{B}{R} because he {Slaughter Game}s me, double {Thoughtseize}d me and triple {Rakdos's Return}ed me. I managed to beat him games 1 and 3 though.

Yeah, but I changed it around quite a bit. Most notable changes are 4x {Selesnya Guildgates}, some {Gift of Orzhova} and some {Holy Mantle}s.

Definitely. The deck is going to be changed around a lot because I love Born of the Gods so I am going to be screwing around with all sorts of heroic/aura/aggro/hexproof builds.
Went 1-3 with my blue/green deck that I've posted its v2
Went undefeated with a tie and. Scored 2nd last night at joint fnm / game day
Went undefeated with my Naya Hexproof Enchabtments Friday and got second to a guy I didn't play :(

Went undefeated with my Naya Hexproof Enchabtments Friday and got second to a guy I didn't play :(
Bummer!
Hopefully he didn't get past you with a bye round
Went 5-2 with my mono white enchantment deck
Went 1-3 with my mono green deck
Ugh. At least I did better than last time.
I went 2-2 with my blue-black mill deck. Who knew it could kill someone in 5 turns?
Got second with my Nayachants deck. Mostly if they couldn't kill my creature on turn three I beat the crap outta them. I lost only to Esper control. 4-1
2-2 with a crappy Boros Aggro.
1-2 at 2HG draft. Opened 3 temples....

None were in our colors, but we ended up with 2 anyways.
Unfortunately not enough people came for standard so we did a chaos draft. The 6 of us each chose our own combination of current rotation packs. Only $8 too didn't hurt.
I totally rare drafted and got my money back. I really wanted to play standard, and fortunately my griping about traditional theros/bng draft led to this chaos draft.
Council of the absolute
Temple of abandon
Young pyromancer
Syncopate
Underworld Cerberus
'twas a silly draft
8-0 with Nayachants. I sideboarded against the control deck that kept beating me.
What all did you end up side boarding in?
With my naya I end up only bringing in:
+ 3 {mending touch}
+ 1 {revoke existence}
+ 2 {selesenyea charm}
I used to run one of {glare heresy} in the sideboard which dubbed for white weenies or brimaz decks/fm still messing with the sb. Honestly depends on how many boros burners I spot around playing the one mindless deck that finally got them top 8 :P forcing Te three {gift of orzhov} in.
7 ways of a turn three scoop to ruin their day :)
I took 2nd so stoked ran my white weenie splash blue for controll and green for strength.
Shocked me that I made it that far. I went
10-2-0 my only loss whas to the guy that took 1st he destroyed my deck tho first matc against azorious controll
2nd against mono black
3rd a boros burn( couldn't Handel my fiendslayer paladin)
4th bant
That's what got me into the top 4
Took all those down
1st round of the top 4
Played against a selesnya token deck I used
My {curse of swine} combo with {detention sphere} borde wipe swing for game won
Moved onto the top 2
Played against another mono black lost cause I mulliganed due to off color lands and than got smashed by desecration Demon didn't draw a single d sphere or fiendslayer fabled hero helped me stay alive a bit but it couldn't save me still had fun tho.

BaBa : what's wrong with the Boros Burner deck ?
I ended up top 1, two times out of the last four FNM at my store, and in the top 3 one other time. It is not as mindless as you think it is, I beleive. During the first few turns, there is a lot of decision making, choosing to burn the opponent or it's creatures. Making the right choice then makes all the difference in the world. Also, I discovered recently that I'm usually better burning my opponent for 4 with Boros Charm, rather than protect my Young Pyromancer with it, in response to any removal played against him (even early in the match). And I use agressively a very concentrated sidedeck (4 Peak Eruption, 4 Anger of the Gods, 3 Chained to the Rocks, 2 Fiendslayer Paladin, and 2 Fated Conflagration). I made the choice of running main deck 4 Skull Cracks, a card that most others don't see in that position. I think I crafted a very competitive deck, using absolutely no deck lists, but just good thinking and a lot of trial and errors.
Some opponents are very frustated losing to this deck. Frankly, I don't know why...
There's a fairly good deck the owner of my LGS made where he makes tons of tokens and burns the opponent to death using {Purphoros God of the forge}. It runs searing bloods, skull cracks, lightning strikes, molten Rebirths and Massive raids alongside cards like young pyromancer and satyr Firedancer to remove threats and deal loads of damage. It's top threed the last 6 FNMS

Yeah he's not cheating it though. He's not even to one who runs FNM
Finally...went 3-1 with my grixis midrange deck...wasn't completed due to needing a few jou cards but glad it wasn't...replaced the missing cards with {master of cruelties} and he did so much work for me...after last night I switched my deck up a little keeping him in ;)
Went 2-2. I saw a deck almost a lot like mine get 4-0. I'll be changing it a bit to look more like that one. Which means no {Desecration Demon}s or {Pack Rat}s, and hello {Courser of Kruphix} and {Reaper of the Wilds}
Ok. I tried running the old version of B/W Midrange and got stepped on by a Kruphix deck and an awesome mogis deck. Ended up beating a Minotaur tribal deck and a poorly made deck based around Kiora
I went 3-2 with red boros burn deck, list my first two but next 3
I like to say boros reckonor is a game stomper when u have 2 on the field
Final game was one like this .
Opponent is at 10, and is tapped out
Cards in my feild , young pyromancer, 2 Chandra's Phoenix
So I tapped one for shock for 2,
Tapped 2 played searing blood for 2
Them swung in for 6,
Game over
Seems to me that it's crazy to tell someone they shouldn't play a deck that beat you. Sounds to me like "I don't want to lose to that again, stop playing it!" :P
4-0 last fnm with my Naya Hexproof ☺️
I have been trying to make bant dominate but it's really hard. I will post my deck later this evening and I'll ask anyone for some recommendations to changes I would need to make it tournament worthy. I would really appreciate it. Thanx
4-0 with a weird version of RDW. No reckoners, mutavaults, fanatics, burning trees, of Phoenix's! I wasn't planning on playing standard, but a buddy of mine asked me to come along late the night before. So I built one (entitled Red Deck Does Win!) and went 4-0!! Ended 2 games on turn 3, by swinging for 17 once, and 19 the other.
Just saw this thread and figured if share. I played Naya Hexproof and went 2-2. I beat a really cool variation of green red monsters. I also beat Boros burn. I ended up losing to American control and launch the fleet aggro murderous death. It was pretty cool
Won 4/3/0 placed 2nd out of 12
Was a really great night
4th out of forty. Got there with Naya Hexproof. Lost only to burn but got forth due a tie against control

20/20
Went 4-0 Esper control 2nd place;)
3-0 with Azorius Control. 1st Place
Game Day. Rabble Red. 3-2 Swiss 5th on Tiebreakers. Won the entire thing. Game Day Mat, the two promos, and 21 packs. Zero play testing on the deck, was pretty much learning it on the go. People say that it is a mindless aggro deck, but it isn't. There are a lot of minute combat tricks and interactions with-in the deck and with the opponent. One misplay with a skilled opponent, and you will suffer... But its a fun deck :)

Of only my gameday was only 5 rounds xD, I did not attend this year but mine is 7-8 with 80-120+ people.. Ranging from 6-8 rounds with a top 8 cut. But luckily now I'm used to a lot of rounds from SCG opens, iqs etc. but I did do a launch event with 50-70 people and went 5-1 and tied the last round to get into top eight. I did not make it very far in the top eight but won a fat pack worth of packs;) first place got 25 packs :( I was playing boros burn, hopefully you did not run into that considering that is a verrrry bad matchup for you:(
Past month been 4-0 with BUG walkers

I would have loved to go against Boros burn!!!
Round one: Esper Control 1-2
Round Two: mono-blue devotion 2-0
Round Three: Izzet Pyrocaster 1-2
Round Four: GW aggro 2-0
Round Five: UW control splash red 2-1
Top 8: Esper control 2-0
Top 4: GW Aggro 2-1
Finals: Jund Walkers 2-1
Round 4 was against a State Champ and Top 4 was against a guy who had qualified for a Pro Tour. It was a good tournament.
Just went 3-1 with Boros Burn at Wednesday night magic. I lost to a mono blue devotion 2-1, because of terrible draws/mana screw
After being in the middle of the pack and my local shop the last two weeks i have gone to take 2nd place twice with WG aggro, only persons who have beat my deck is a BUG control and abzan midrange(t5 end hostily hurts)
3-2 With Jeskai Combo. Only real trouble was Mardu Aggro, which also won the night.

3W 1L. Lost to UW heroics
This is probably a dead thread but hopefully I can spark some interest in it. I was playing UW heroic. My results:
Round 1: Playing against the only deck that beat me last week, chromantiflayer but it's main plan is be the sidisi value deck and if things go late you have chromantiflayer to fall back on. Game 1 I was able to get right out of the gates with a hoplite T1 and then get to the point where it's a 5/6 unblockable threatening to kill him while I have a gods willing back up plan in my hand. I was able to snag victory game 1. Game 2 I mulled to 6. My first threat was a battle wise hoplite. There was some solid back and forth but it eventually came to the point where it's a 10/10 flyer, and he drops a crux of fate. I untap and deploy a seeker of the way and do a quick pass back to him. He almost had it when he tried to cast chromanticore (not soulflayed) but I was ready with a disdainful stroke. I sealed the deal a few turns later. 2-0
Round 2: Playing against Esper heroic. Actually I'm not even sure it was heroic. It was esper aggro with some random pump spells and heroic creatures. Game 1 He gained absurd amounts of life but I was able to just stabilize with a threat and keep protecting it. I was just beating in every turn and when he drew possible creatures to kill me with he kept blocking so he wouldn't take 5-6 damage. Just resulted in beat down, I had more protection than he had removal. I was able to win game 1. Game 2 was the WORST game I played all night it dragged on for about 30 minutes, when he could've won if he put his auras on seeker of the way instead of Bloodsoaked champion. Sadly for him, he didn't. I was able to get down to about 5 life, and he was presenting lethal. He decides to swing all out, and I drop a few combat tricks so he loses all 3 of his guys and I lose one. I untap and cast an ordeal of Heliod, I started bashing in with him and got back in the game. It was a really close game but I was able to win it. 2-0
Round 3 I'm paired against dimiroverlord playing GB constellation. Game 1 I had hand the was able to go wide and just started bashing in with 3 battlewise hoplites and a favored hoplite. I got game 1. Games 2 and 3 consisted of me having my hand thoughtseized away, and all of my threats being killed. Lost 1-2
Round 4 I'm up against jeskai tokens. Game 1 I'm still sad about, he was on 2 lands the entire time and couldn't do anything noteworthy. I sealed the deal playing solitaire. I think I was more mad than he was that that happened. Game 2 was really long but there was a lot of back and forth but I thought I had him dead on board when he drops an end hostilities. Post combat he casts hordeling outburst and I'm on a 3 turn clock. Couldn't get what I needed to win and lost to goblin tokens. Game 3 was awesome. I came out of the gates with a hoplite turn 1, into t2 defiant strike leaving up gods willing attack for 3. Untap deploy an ordeal of thassa and attack for 4 still holding up protection. He was able to stoke it and the wildslash it to kill it but gods willing was there, he was ready with a negate but didn't see that it put a heroic trigger on the stack, which saved my hoplite. He untapped and tappedout for a few different token makers and elected not to swing, trying to make me not want to swing into his wall of dudes. Fearing my hoplite would die. I had an aqueous form I had been waiting to use for a while and just deployed that. He untaps, goes to combat, attacks me and post combat drops end hostilities. This time I was ready with an ajani's presence. I untapped swung in and put him at ~3 life. He did the thing where if you have an out it's on top of your deck so you flip it and he windmill slams a flooded strand and scoops it up. I won it 2-1
Top 8 was next but I had to leave, I was 3rd going into top 8, luckily for me dimiroverlord was in top 8 too and paired against me. Worst case scenario ONE of us would win and make 4th at the worst so I just conceded and we agreed to split the 4th place prize which was 4 packs, 2 apiece. Final record, 3-1
Did anyone see any fun decks now that DTK is legal?
I played standard on Friday for the first time in 3 years. I played a narset combo deck
Well first time at an FNM since RTR first came out; I went 1 and 3. I ran an Esper Dragon control deck and I am fairly happy with how it preformed. I'm going to tweak it a bit as far as what's main board and what's in the sideboard, but really all the matchups I had I felt as if I could've won.
The hardest matchup was against a 4c whip deck which snowballed out of control when my {Utter End} was negated while targeting his {Death mist Raptor}.
I made a few errors over the course of the night, but I look forward to playing again :D

It's quite simple. You walk up to them and say something horrible about their mother, then you prepare for battle.
