Played in the standard showdown w/this deck. It still had in Rise from the Tides.
0-3 on the day, but never got swept. This was a small victory in my eye. I had misplays for sure, some of which cost me games.
First game was against Gideon / Glorious End deck. He never got the combo going, I kept trashing his Baby Gideon with my Grasp of Darkness, so this in effect shut that down. However, he had 4 Baby Gideons, 2 or three Big Gideons, and Nissa's. I didn't have enough answers for the P'walkers, and it cost me. The only other creature in this deck were mana dorks, and a Glory bringer, which really stole game two and three. I never felt I had a chance once G'bringer hit. 1-2.
Second game was against an old school Mono black eldrazi deck. Lost the first game to his multiple reality smashers...played catch up, and it cost me. 2nd game was over in a matter of hands. got my things turned, and that was it. Third game I played sloppy, it cost me, I fell into the trap of being impatient, and not playing in his turn. 1-2
Third game was agains some Bant Mid Range deck, which I handled like a champ first game, second game he boarded in 14 cards, and turned his deck into a control deck. Again, some misplays, went down 1-2 in a marathon match.
Standard showdown was fun, and I see where this deck is weak. I really need board sweepers in here, whether it be Engulf the Shores, or Yahenni's expertise, even a splash for something in red would be ok.
