I finally did my first FNM! It was really fun and I got to meet some...interesting people lol.
First round lost to delver with 0 wins. Almost had him the second game but he managed to pull something out of his butt for the win. So good for him I guess.
Second round I won 2/0 against a human deck minus the human staples. I felt no pride beating this, but didn't feel the need to hold back either. First game I won with 41 life due to elspeth. Second game I won with 3 planeswalkers out, 2 sorin emblems, sigarda equipped with body and mind, and a whole lot of tokens.
Third round I faced more humans, except it was a better human deck. Still destroyed it though with 2/0 wins. Basically I just O-Ringed whatever he got out and just kept beating him down to the ground.
Fourth round I faced a W/U/b spirit deck. I got good hands both games but was so busy defending against buffed up flier tokens that I couldn't even cast my bombs. In the last game I had a 5 mana out by turn 3 and a vorapede and a sorin. By the end of the game I also had an unused sigarda in hand. So sad...but that guy was good. I feel no shame with the zero wins.
Fifth round I played against a pod deck. Both of us had the same thing going on: mana dorks ramp ramp ramp! His deck, however, was simply better equipped than mine. He just exiled all but one of the 4 mana dorkies I had out. I could only tane out one of his. Missing a land drop didn't help. I never saw a pod which was funny, but he didn't need one. Again I feel no shame because I know this guy...he is my friend. And I know he invested more in his deck than I did. And he is just a better player than me.
So yeah I won 2 matches and lost 3. I can't wait to go to next FNM after improving my deck a bit!
You only played 2 rounds?
Accidentally posted early...had to edit. I played 5 lol
Which deck did you play
Congratulations dude on making your first FNM. I know it sux when you lose but u gotta think of it this way. It only makes you stronger Brotha. U just gotta keep at it. I will be the first to say welcome to the World of FNM
You had two sorins out at the same time?
he said two emblems
Three planeswalkers out.
Lol I'm surprised his opponents let tht happen.
As opposed to scooping at that point? yeah I could see that. once two planeswalkers are out you're already on the backfoot.
Yeah it was sorin, elspeth, and garruk primal. The first sorin died because I used up his loyalty.
The guy wasn't too good. He thought that if his 2/1 blocked my 1/1, his creature lived. I had to tell him about first strike...lol and yes he did not scoop. No idea why. I just kept gaining life with elspeth until I was bored.
The deck I was playing is a G/W/b deck with plainswalkers and big creatures like vorapede. I also have some doomed travelers that I can use {Beast Within} on if I have nothing better to do. I have tokens too (4 lingeries).
I am putting in some lambhold champs and a couple somberwalds. Also another vorapede (I only had 1).
An elesh would help in my deck but I have none. Same with gideon.
So you use beast within on your own creatures?
Yeah...on {Doomed Traveller} it actually gives you an advantage.

I've used it on my own land sometimes. I liked it on {Ichor Wellspring}
