FNM results:

I had a ton of fun with the deck and find crazy lines of play I had not see in testing so many thing to do haha.
So after a fun night I ended up taking 2nd place out of 31 on the deck's first night out, it did really well no real problems other then the last round but that's just a matter of learning what hands to keep and which to mul.

Round 1: vs G/R Land Destruction 2-0,
Game 1 was a win, hit a {Reaper of the Wilds} just before he blow up all my land and I just slowly bet him to death.
Game 2 was a win, hit 3 {Sylvan Caryatid} before he could start blowing up lands I also sided in my 2 {Mutavault} so I would have more land.

Round 2: vs Bant Hexproof 2-0,
Game 1 was a win, he drop 3
{Gladecover Scout} one with {Aqueous Form} but before he could do any real damage I played my {Golgari Charm} (luck opening hand vs his) and slowly took over the game be put up a fight but I got {Kiora, the Crashing Wave} to ult twice.
Game 2 was a win, I sided in all my answers to his deck and ate it up.

Round 3: vs B/W Midrange 2-1
Game 1  was a win, he just didn't know what I was doing and I bet him to death with a {Reaper of the Wilds}.
Game 2 was a lose, I kept a iffy hand and he curved out perfectly it was crazy.
Game 3 was a win, this was my hardest game of the night it was so close I was on 6hp no cards in hand, he had 32hp and about 5 cards in hand I thought I was done. It is to long to go in to with this post but in one top deck of {Jace, Architect of Thought} in one turn went back up to 11hp drew 5 cards and took back the game. it is crazy the plays you can make with this deck.

Round 4: B/R Midrange 1-2(funny thing is was a mate playing my other deck so I got killed by my own deck haha)
Game 1 was a win, it was my deck and I knew was was come and when so it was easy to play around.
Game 2 was a lose(here is where it gets sad) I had a iffy hand only to scry lands I thought that's ok I'll dig in to something nope got to 3 lands held him off for 8 turns.
Game 3 was a lose, see game 2 haha I put in 2 {Mutavault} so I had more land, I still only hit 3 lands all opening hand non scry, it hit turn 7 and I just gave the game to him he had 2 {Stormbreath Dragon} out haha.

Deck update after FNM before Sunday torny:

MB:
-2 {Scavenging Ooze} I have found that every time I draw this card I wanted something else so it's gone for now.
-1 {Hero's Downfall} love this card dose a ton of work but I found something better haha (it will probly end up in the SB).

+1 {Mana Confluence} I found that 23 land wasn't that bad but could be better and a single {Mana Confluence} is right at home here.
+1 {Courser of Kruphix} it is just such a good card I was never upset to see it so one more made it back in.
+1 {Extinguish All Hope} this card is just amazing! I want 2 in here but I am still feeling out the meta.

Nothing for the sideboard yet.

Edit: torny results up soon.

Sunday tourney results: 2nd out of 17.

It was a big one with only 3 rounds it was good fun and looking forward to taking this to games day.

Round 1: vs R/W Burn 2-1 Win.
Game 1 was a lose my opponent got first and he just went hardcore burn I was on 7 life on my trun 4 I decided to just not try so as to show him nothing of my game play.
Game 2 was a win, i played {Sylvan Caryatid} > {Courser of Kruphix} > {Courser of Kruphix} and he just couldn't burn me fast enough.
Game 3 was a win, using my {Devour Flesh} on my own creeps gave me a enough life to say ahead of the game and pull out the win.

Round 2: vs G/R Monsters 2-0 Win.
Long story short this is my easiest match (IMO) I killed most of his stuff and fogged down the rest then bet him with krakens game one and with is own monsters game 2( I love {Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver}).

Round 3: vs U/W Cotrol 1-1 Draw.
I will be honest I was not ready for this one no one in my local was running U/W (I thought foolishly lol) the games where both great! Game 1 was a lose, he just keep control all game nothing I could do with all my spot removele haha.
Game 2 was a win, I got a {Jace, Memory Adept} out after he had used most of his answers and I just milled him ( that was a first haha).
Game 3 never happened we had no time, he ended up 1st be course he had gone 2-0 both rounds before(at lest that's what we think haha).

So all in all this deck is going really well I think I may need {Thoughtseize} or {Duress} in the SB vs control and burn I will need to test this out .
