Playing on Xmage so far and have beaten Affinity and Thopter Midrange. Fairly easily. Nahiri is never a hindrance, she tends to draw the attention of who I'm playing against long enough to pop off a Scapeshift. Also when I ultimate her it depletes their resources with Emmy so pretty much a free Scapeshift following that. Not too sure how I feel about the Leylines tho. I may remove them for sudden shocks and an extra dispel.

Unfortunately not so well.

Round 1 VS Assault formation Abzan- lost game 1 horribly to hand disruption. Games 2 and 3 had a leyline of sanctity opening hand to stop disruption and was able to board wipe till the win. 2-1

Round 2 VS jeskai burn- won game 1 pretty easily, lost game 2 the lost game 3 because the judge ruled that I couldn't respond to the reveal trigger by tapping his creatures down with cryptic thus causing his 3 delvers to flip and hit me for 9 2 times for the win his reveal was a remand. I did hold them off but had I had the extra turn that would've bought me I would've won by drawing the Scapeshift next turn. 1-2

Round 3 mothafreakin soul sisters- just a bad matchup. Lost game 1 she had like 58 life and I misplayed by not countering a ranger of eos early game. I was distracted then said okay and realized what I "OKed" and immediately regret it. The version she was running had {Serra ascendant} and {martyr of sands} so basically a t2 6/6 flying lifelink 1 drop. Just rough. Won game 2 with Nahiri. Lost game 3. The problem with this game was it was a woman who was forgetting all her triggers and me being a decent player decided to help her a little then there was this dude sitting beside her calling her triggers for her as well. Had I been a jerk I could've won by simply saying you forgot your trigger basically the whole round because she was forgetting everything. Just bad. 1-2

Round 4 Grixis- lost he just controlled perfectly. Lost game 1, won game 2, lost game 3. He pressured me with 2 delver flips game 3 and a tasigur. Drew no stalls and just flat out lost. May have had something to do with me siding out my Nahiri package here and my single wrath of God for another anger in the board. I'm actually going to purchase two {teferi, Mage of zhalfir} for control matchups. 1-2

All in all I love the way the deck plays, today I was a victim of bad matchups and bad calls. Online it's solid and easy to win. There are just a few changes I need to make to the main deck and the side board but I truly do believe the deck has serious potential and will most likely be the list I run at GP Dallas in a few months. :)

Another note: dropped the second anger in the sideboard for a single {ghostly prison}

Always sucks to lose for being a nice guy. Seems like you learned a lot which is always great. How're the {Fog}s treating you?

Fogs are amazing lol probably the best card in the deck with the format being so aggro
