So I played tonight in the FNM touney at the store nearest me and, to say the least, it was fun and interesting...

M1: 1-2 LossThis round was against an elf deck, running the Vengevine and Fauna Shaman combo... Ironically I was going to play my elf deck, but I ended up playing my quest deck...

G1: Completely ad totally owned, had to mull down to 4 cards in hand and then completely beat down by vengevines...

G2: First turn Quest for the Holy Relic , beat out the elves and Vengevine s...

G3: So horrible, thought i hd him, but he ended up natualizeing my Argentum Armor then beating me with Vengevine s...

M2: 2-1 WinThis round was against a UB control deck, this was actually one of the most fun matches I played tonight...

G1: So I started out pretty good, I gad to mulligan donw twice to just get a playable hand on top of getting Mana Leak ed and Doom Blade ed several times, he one with a steel helkite beatdown...

G2: After siding in a Blazing Torch and 2 Jinxed Idol s, we started the second game, in which i started with a first turn quest, then a double quest, after several trading blows (including me annoying him with a Blazing Torch equiped Kor Duelist ) I won with and armored Glint Hawk

G3: Quickest game of the match:t1: Questt2: Quest, memnite, glint hawkt3: Glint hawk, searched for SoBaM and Armor...He couldnt recover after that...

M3: 2-0 WinThis match was against a RB vamp burn...

G1: Normal quest win, after several times getting burned... But eventually pushed through...

G2: Pretty much the same as the first game, but for some reason he didn't sac his [[vampire hexmage] before I cracked my Quest for the Holy Relic , odd but whatever... Also completely reflected his archtail with a Refraction Trap ...

M4: 2-0This match was pretty stupid, no offence to GW quest decks, but this was just playing sad...

G1: He starts out with Fauna Shaman and does the usual discard Vengevine to Vengevine routine, but I end up beating him to the win with a first turn quest to Argentum Armor

G2: Same thing, except he gets mana screwed early on so he cant get anything off, so another win with an Argentum Armor

Overall: 3-1This deck is too in consistent IMO, and has several flaws, it needs a couple Stoneforge Mystic s to finish t off, and it had no answer for Elves persay...

Was a free night and small play group. WAY FUN. This iteration I ran on 18 land and either won or got crushed. 20 may be the optimal number here. Adding more fetches to accommodate the color balancing. Giving serious consideration to cutting Monastey Mentor for the Geist of Saint …

Wow, how do I even begin to describe what happened tonight!?

First off, this deck way out performed my expectations.

Round 1 went to my opponent. I...actually am embarrassed to say I can't remember what he was running, but I know my guys had trouble hitting him. This was before …

2 Losses, 1 Win

One of the fun things about this deck as the amount of surprise people had when they saw no creatures. Not a lot of people at my venue play with blue, they run a bit more aggro style or green/black combos.

The first round played went …
