Deck Statistics:

FNM (4-7) Bad match-ups all day and it was my very first FNM EVER

FNM (5-5) 3rd @FNM Beat all the RDW's in the shop, it was my first time going against a MUD deck though (lost to it in the last round). Overall, a good match.

FNM (2-5) The new build (MBed Pithing Needle build) just failed me miserably. I'm pretty sure it's not the deck build itself, it's more of the deck didn't cooperated with me well. Pithing Needles and Far//Aways worked like a charm but most of the games I kept on mulligan-ing (mulliganed 5 on PLAY at one round, went 0-2 with him) for either having 6 lands at hand or no lands at all. One game I managed to pull with only 3 lands up until turn 8. Pretty depressing night overall.
