UPDATED INFORMATION(3/25/2013):

played at FNM this past weekend. still a little trouble against aggro. lost hard to a naya humans but held out for as long as possible in game 2. drawing both my feelings of dread in my opening hand and like my turn 4 draw. just had no board wipes coming up to try and dig me out of the whole.

overall i was 3-2. i should have been 4-1. In my first match however, i got mana fucked in both games. after he reported we played again. this time game one i was able to terminus on like turn 3 to clear the board which became mine thereafter. game 2 went much the same way with a supreme dropping turn 4 and me just staying in control from then out and milling him down with drownyards and jace.

the one real interesting match was when i played against a orzhov extort deck. game one he was up to 65 hp and had hit a clutch Elixir of Immortality to bring him back from what would have been a next turn mill out. i somehow still managed to mill him out AGAIN after wiping the board of his like 13 creatures. game two wasnt nearly as bad health wise. i brought in ghost daddy and got him out on turn 5 and was able to keep his stuff in check. thankfully the worst he got out were 2 Rhox Faithmender's that kept his life going up and just some bascilica guards for defenders so he kept himself alive extorting for awhile, then i miracle'd a terminus and was able to clear and drew my second obzedat two turns later to finish him off. it was pretty sick.

overall i like the feel of it now. theres a lot more control, the Nephalia Drownyard s give me the ability to keep him guessing as to whether or not im going to counter something or just mill them at the end of their turn. it gets real disgusting when i have all 3 running and its basically hitting with a Jace, Memory Adept every turn and they cant stop it.

Edit

played it at FNM tonight(2/22/13) -

went 3-2 overall. it definitely should have been 4-1 if not 5-0.

my first match up was against azorius control. he 2-0'd me. he milled me out the first game after finally getting rid of my Jace, Memory Adept when i was tapped out and couldn't counter and then he dropped his own. i didnt draw shit afterwards. game 2 was a bad hand that i knew i should've mulliganed but kept anyway. game proceeded to like turn 15 when we each had out like 10 lands and there was a huge counter spell war with 5 or 6 spells played between us. i came up 1 mana short for another dissipate :(.

second match up- 1-2 vs bug with it coming down to literally 2 card left in his library in game 3. game 1 went decidedly in my favor when i dropped Supreme Verdict and wiped out 2 Corpsejack Menace and a Prime Speaker Zegana with 12 counters on it. game 2 was another hand that started off looking good but my mana was clumped and i didnt draw anything so i went like 8 turns on 4 mana and not being able to play much. game 3 i had my Jace, Memory Adept out, combined with Nephalia Drownyard and got him down to 2 cards left in his library. he had brought in Psychic Spiral after game 1. there were 2 in the deck total. i saw 1 get milled out for sure, but couldn't remember if i had seen the second one. i end my turn not being able to do anything else with 2 mana free for my Azorius Charm incase he attacked with the four creatures he had out. he top decks the other Psychic Spiral i got milled for 39 and i scooped after that. it was so disheartening.

match 3 - 2-1 -was a weird gruul deck with defenders. i won game 1 countering everything and milling her out. game 2 i didnt draw as well, playing a 2 mana hand that ended up getting me no where and game 3 was decidedly in my favor. played a 4 land opening hand with a Jace, Memory Adept, Negate, Dissipate. drew an Azorius Charm turn 2 and lands the next two turns and she just couldnt do shit. the deck worked exactly as it should with me milling her out 3 turns after jace came out.

match 4 - 2-1 - was a weird deck that i had never seen the likes of before. it was g/r dragons with some enchant that allowed him to flip at his upkeep, if it was a creature of a type you had out, you could play it for free, if not bottom of the library. game 1 went to him. i had to mulligan down to 5 before i even had a decent hand and it was just down hill from there. game 2 and 3, i was able to Supreme Verdict and then mill him with Lazav, Dimir Mastermind out becoming a Balefire Dragon and wiping out his creatures. it was great because both games ended with finishing blows from him. Blind Obedience was a godsend in this game because i drew one with every opening hand and just bought me so much time versus his low cost dragons.

match 5 was some ridiculous 4 color deck with upwards of 800$ in it. 4 Thundermaw Hellkite's with Snapcaster Mage and some lich that let him play creatures from the graveyard with a 2 colorless ability. game one ended rather quickly when i had a turn 4 Lazav, Dimir Mastermind and then she played a Thundermaw Hellkite the next turn which i Ultimate Price'd and transformed lazav into. only went another 3 turns after that finishing with me bringing out Obzedat, Ghost Council for the 2 damage win. game two finished with me bringing her down so quickly i didnt even realize i was swinging for the kill with Duskmantle Seer. for some reason i thought she had more life than just 4 and i had just gotten out Obzedat, Ghost Council drawing my second Duskmantle Seer that turn. Jace, Memory Adept saw play both games milling for 2-3 turns before i won out.
