First FNM in a while

[Coffee Vampire]

Recently I have been busy making the switch from junk aggro/weird things to mbc...so instead of going to FNM I have been waiting for cards to arrive and testing my new deck on cockatrice.

Today I decided that I would go to FNM and just fill in the missing spots I had with other stuff. It turned out pretty good. I got second place, and can't wait for the rest of the cards to come!

Here is the summary of the night for anyone who might be interested:

Round 1 I was pitted against UW control. Games 1 and 2 went quickly. My hand disruption got rid of most of his threats. The only one he got out was a {Batterskull}, which I did not care about...and neither did my {Vampire Nighthawk} that had 2 {Lashwrithe}s equipped to it. Stats: 1/0 with 2 wins.

Round 2 was me vs. an infinite myr mana deck. Game 1 he only managed to get one myr out before I killed him. Game 2 he actually got his combo to work, and made a 2-billion/2-billion {Mikaeus, the Lunarch}. I killed the lunarch, but the field was flooded with myrs and he destroyed me. Game 3 my opponent got mana screwed with 1 mana the whole game. Combined with my hand disruption it was too much. Stats: 2/0 with 4 wins and 1 loss.

Round 3 I was set against the one guy I didn't want to face. He is really good and was running a B/G control deck. It plays like MBC, but has added perks like {Thragtusk} and whatnot. Game 1 I got {Liliana of the Veil} out turn 3, which he said is the one card his deck can't deal with. He was right. I won game 1. Game 2 was very close. I started with the upper hand, always either killing or making him discard his thragtusks (yes I had enough removal for the tokens too ;)). Eventually, I had out 3 {Staff of Nin} and a {Phyrexian Metamorph} that was a copy of staff of nin. He had one staff himself, and 2 {Pristine Talisman}s to keep my staves from destroying him. And then it hit me: I was going to destroy myself by drawing myself to death! It was 7 to 5, in my opponent's favor. I was drawing 5 cards a turn, and had 5 in mu library. I casted {Lashwrithe}, equipped it to a germ token another lashy had made, and swung for game. His next turn he would have cast {Sorin's Vengeance} for game. Now I know that too much of any good thing can be bad, even the card I swear by: {Staff of Nin}. Stats: 3/0 with 6 wins and 1 loss.

Round 4 I faced the one deck I though I wouldn't see when I showed up: werewolves. This guy was really good, and was also undefeated. Game 1 I had an answer to everything he cast. Wait until his human transforms into a 5/5 and then cast {Tribute to Hunger}? Yes please! Game 2 he got out {Garruk Relentless} t4 and killed my nighthawk to transform it. He had an enchantment out that gave his creatures haste. I used {Black Sun's Zenith} and everything else I could find, but it wasn't enough to stop garruk from using all the creatures I killed  against me with his ultimate.
Game 3 was the deciding factor. The moment of truth. I started out well, with a great opening hand. And then that moment came. I looked down at my hand and saw nothing there but a black sun's.  I killed the two creatures he had and he casted more. I swear I would have killed him but I drew SEVEN SWAMPS IN A ROW. That's right, {Sign in Blood} didn't help me; I just drew 2 swamps. When I lost, I drew another card. IT WAS A SWAMP!!! And next card was lashwrithe. As if it mattered. It was a good match though. I learned to be prepared for any deck type, and that I should shuffle my lands into my deck evenly after every game. Whatever. My deck isn't even ready yet. I am glad I made second.

I won 4 packs. I got 2 INN and 2 M13. Only notable was a {Primordial Hydra}. But yeah I had fun. And I love MBC even more now :)
