After playing in my first FnM last night with an unfinished version of this deck my friend and I came to a couple conclusions.
-
Haste is what this deck needs. I will be switching out Primalcrux for Gaea's Revenge.
-
Mistcutter Hydra is amazing for the reason above.
-
Beast Within is about the only answer to Planeswalkers and other pesky permanent's...so far.
-
Mass GY hate might be a needed thing. Ground Seal??
-
Shuffle more, and change up how I'm shuffling. By the last match out of three my first game went really well, after that I was running into major initial card draw problems.
-
Board wipes suck, and playing around them sucks too.
I didn't take the best notes because I was getting really frustrated but here is a basic recap of what I faced.
Match 1 - Tron reanimator with Gifts Ungiven
Game 1: By turn 4 or so I couldn't play any more green spells due to an angel I was forced to make him put into the graveyard.
Game 2: Went a bit longer but he got an eldrazi out of the GY and I conceded shortly after. I couldn't get a good opening hand or draws.
Match 2 - Played my good friend and playtester that went with me. I beat him by turn 4 or so game 1 and then lost to Kiora's ultimate G2 and then Venser's ultimate game 3.
Match 3 - Played a robots deck which got really good draws on both games we played, I couldn't block due to flyers and protection from colors.
Pretty disappointing overall but I know I could have played better and I learned a lot. We needed an 8th person and I let someone borrow my r/u delver deck, he placed 3rd and did really well. Go figure :D
