To be fair, there is at least a decent chance we know each other and don't know the screen names. I'm Lucas Greene (not Greive). I have come in a few times for FNM, but for Commander. I also come in on Sundays to play Commander and Vanguard sometimes.

NinjaBunny01 says... #4

I typically don't play FNM because I work during that time. I honestly haven't been in for a while either. But when I am there I typically play Commander.

raefgall is probably right. I'm Ryan and I'm at FNM almost all of the time. I usually play Modern and EDH. I'll see you there

raefgall sorry it's been forever since I talked, but lol it's not spelt Lucas Grieve its Lucas Grief and he's my cousin. He takes me to FNM whenever I can go and he has me play Splinter Twin (now it's going to be burn since twin is banned). My names Michael (I'm not comfortable with giving out my last name on the internet but out of the list of people I think I may have run into kriggi before.

I think you can figure out who I am based off of my Username. Happy to see other locals on here.

MikeNovak I don't go to FNM nearly as much as I'd like to just because I'm so busy with school, but you may know my cousin Lucas Grief. I'm really big on this site and am always active so if you need me to help you with any decks I'd be glad to.

April 30, 2016 11:08 a.m.

MrWOO says... #12

Tyrannosary Yep, sure do! And Yeah, I don't FNM as frequently as I'd like to anymore. Still do the prerelease events and some occasional EDH games here and there, though.

April 30, 2016 11:51 p.m.

Tyrannosary says... #13

Ah, When I go I usually play modern MikeNovak

MrWOO says... #14

Tyrannosary I used to play Modern heavily

Tyrannosary says... #15

MikeNovak what deck did you use?

May 2, 2016 7:59 a.m.

raefgall says... #16

I've been playing Modern semi-regularly recently. I'm the guy who plays 8-Rack.

May 2, 2016 10:13 a.m.

Tyrannosary says... #17

raefgall are you Ryan Gibney or are you someone older?

May 2, 2016 11:42 a.m.

Tyrannosary says... #18

I think I know who you are

MrWOO says... #19

Tyrannosary Most recent Modern FNM I'd have played in (like 3 months ago) would have been Monogreen Stompy. Before that it was MonoU Tron, Merfolk, BW Hatebears

May 3, 2016 1:52 a.m.

Tyrannosary says... #20

Yeah I don't think I've ever played or run into you MikeNovak I used to play splinter twin but after it was banned I began playing naya burn since I had the cards for it anyways (I play burn in legacy)

May 3, 2016 9:01 a.m.

MrWOO says... #21

Tyrannosary Eh, hard to say.

May 4, 2016 12:47 a.m.

MrWOO says... #22

If anyone that frequents this site wants to play EDH/Commander, quite a few of us play on Mondays all day. I typically show up around 4-5 due to working 3rd shift and sleeping during the day, but figured I'd throw that out there. :)

May 10, 2016 2:07 a.m.

Tyrannosary says... #23

Awesome! MikeNovak if I can ever find time in my insanely busy schedule, I'll try to make it. I currently have baseball conflicts with Mondays until the last month of summer vacation XD. I don't play it competitively at all, I just play it because some other people play it (I just don't like how games take so long). I use Purphoros, God of the Forge as my general and you can look at my deck on my profile page. I don't really plan on buying cards for the deck at all since I prefer to use it on building competitive decks in modern and to finish my burn deck in legacy.

May 10, 2016 8:02 a.m.

MrWOO says... #24

Tyrannosary No prob. I have quite a decent selection of decks, as do the other people I play with if you'd ever want to borrow something different and get political.

May 11, 2016 3:06 a.m.

Tyrannosary says... #25

Thanks! I think I might try to build a Mikaeus, the Unhallowed EDH deck. That way If I don't want to use purphoros (mainly because having him as a commander makes me a big target) then I'll have another deck to use.

May 11, 2016 7:44 a.m.

MrWOO says... #26

Tyrannosary Don't forget your Triskelion!

May 11, 2016 11:42 p.m.

Tyrannosary says... #27

Very true MikeNovak, that card combos nicely with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed.

May 12, 2016 12:52 a.m.

MrWOO says... #28

Played my Kaseto deck tonight at FNM and went 3-1. Very pleased with how it went :)

June 11, 2016 4:12 a.m.

Tyrannosary says... #29

what were your match-ups like? MikeNovak

June 11, 2016 7:19 p.m.

MrWOO says... #30

Tyrannosary if you go to my profile and click on my Kaseto deck, look at the newest update. Fairly in depth review

The first two rounds were both against the new Jeskai Control deck with Nahiri. Bridge shuts down their win-cons pretty hard. They run 1-2 Kolaghan's Command mainboard and 1 Wear/Tear sideboard, but I don't think more than one landed. Took both of those games 2-0.

The third round was against …

Another successful 3-1.

Match 1 was against Merfolk and I ended up losing 1-2. We have played before and the pattern is pretty much: I win before sideboard if I get a bridge down, she sides in Hurkyl's Recall and Echoing Truth, and she has more answers than me more …

So I finally got to bring this deck to an FNM and I was not disappointed. I ended up going 3-1, and the 1 was definitely close.

Match 1 was against Naya Zoo, which was one of the harder matchups with my mono-black deck. I took the game pretty quickly …

Last week I went 2-2. This week I went 0-3 (with a bye in the last round). Every deck I played was a control variant, and I can't seem to get a win against decks that can keep my board state so clear. I guess the local metagame shifted away …

Finally got to test the decks at an FNM. Ended up going 2-2. The big problems I kept running into were: random mana issues, and having too many big cards in my hand. Most of the time when someone beat me, it was because I couldn't get off the ground, …
