This deck has gotten me pretty far at FNM so far with my matches usually 2:0 or 2:1. The only real troubles I have are RDW and Jeskai Tokens which are both, at least in my meta, underplayed. My best match up thus far is against Temur where Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver shines and counter and kill spells keep the game lasting a lot longer than your opponent expected. The control match up is also pretty interesting, generally that comes down to who can get a Pearl Lake Ancient or Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker out first. Keranos, God of Storm is an easy side in for these matches because if he resolves, they're put on a pretty fast clock, especially if Prognostic Sphinx keeps scrying lands to the bottom. Basically counter, burn, kill spell, repeat until the opponent is out of steam, then let one of the few win cons take the game and the match. Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
