Played three tester games last night
First up a 2-0 a blue black.... Midrange control? Not sure what the plan was but I think he wanted to get mill going with Ashiok and night veil. The first game was very quick with the mangler and ooze comboing with all my removal to zoom across the board for lethal quick smart. Second game went long and it ended up being essentially a wiped board until we slowly raced but I was able to drop vraska and get Ashiok then built her up again to take out a key blocker and a few others with removals and I got through
Second game I played against a bant beatdown which I again went 2-0 the games went a little longer but the removal did its job well and I swung through without much worry apart from a few bounce and removals he played against me
The last game went horrible, a different dimir deck, and I was 0-3 I would have side boarded but I hadn't thought of what to put in as this deck isn't something I'd normally look at running I just wanted to try and expand my skills anyway, not trying to make it a straight up excuse but for two games I was mana screwed and probably kept hands I shouldn't have because I was feeling over confident. Anyway the deck was based around Whispering Madness and Notion Thief with Lifebane Zombie managing to stay around longer than he should as I only had doom blades and no creatures to battle early. By the time the combo went off I had no board presence and pretty much just got beat down. I made the adjustment of adding in one more heroes downfall as abrupt decay couldn't touch the thief and neither would doom blade. I was thinking maybe Gaze of Granite but I'm not sure if thats the direction a deck like this should head in, or even what type of deck this is.
Anyway thanks for looking and even tiny hints would be appreciated as that last game left me baffled as to what I should be trying to do with this deck
