I am going to my first FNM tonight...probs going to get my (explicit deleted) handed to me but w/e. Any advice?

Also, should I bring another deck? If so, will people mind if it isn't standard? (I only have one standard deck.)

Most fnm's are standard only, no cards not in standard are allowed (most fnm's, idk about all). If you use a card or cards that aren't in standard they will (hopefully) kindly tell u to remove it. Be on the lookout for uw delver decks and rg wolf run ramp decks. Those seem to be pretty common now, as well as a few infect decks and mono white humans and rdw/burn decks

Hah noo I mean just to play casual while I'm not doing a match! ;D

And thanks for the advice I will plan for those!

Make sure to tak plenty to trade. And yes, having other decks for casual is fine.

Glad I don't go to your store

Mine is two-headed giant legacy. This is nice. Well today it is. Usually standard or modern.

What you bring really depends on the local regulars. For sure bring your trade stuff, and if your FNM is constructed, your deck for the event (and your sideboard) for whatever format it is. Usually standard. I do a draft every FNM, so don't need that deck. I do however bring a Commander deck, because there are lots of people there who like to get in some commander fun before and after the draft, or some silliness between rounds.

Also bring your choice way of tracking life total (dice, phone, or paper/pencil), counters for +1/+1's etc come in handy, and a pen is usually good to have.

Good luck in your first FNM! Hope you do well!

Dude I'm at my first FNM too.

Coffee Vampire

I didn't make it...I had to run a flag ceremony for an organization on behalf of the Boy Scouts. It ran from 5 to 7 and FNM starts at 6.

>:(

I thought it was "Friday NIGHT Magic"...not "Friday late afternoon-evening Magic"!!! Oh well. Now I know so I can go next Friday. Thanks for all the advice and I will post results next Friday.

I'm 'bout to leave mine, nobody is really playing a format I play or want to play right now. Legacy and such I can't afford, or draft which I don't want to pay to do. I don't have my standard decks really finished anyway.

If its five rounds it would get done at 11 or 12. So it is Friday night magic. It takes a long time. Each round is an hour long.

Hot daaamn...didn't know it takes that long! Wow...well thanks lol

My shop is doing draft again, it gets a huge turnout as opposed to any other format. But I show up to trade and catchup with people, and make fun of {Vexing Devil}.
