Just got back from a great FNM night. Here is the breakdown
Game 1 2-0 . This wasn't much of a matchup. I went against a rakdos deck and beat him down fast. First round was all about reverant hunters and nylea. Turn two 4/4 hunter lead the pace followed by nylea then another hunter for 7/7. Finished the game by turn 7 due to Rakdos's Return causing a hiccup otherwise would have went faster. Those Rakdos Cacklers just couldn't keep up. Second matchup he used Pithing Needle and declared my hunters, however I was running dragons HAHA my strategy worked from the start! The little hatchlings pumped up with nykthos every turn won the day here. By the time I dropped a scourge domri had set me up for the win by pit fighting a 8/1 hatchling against desecration demon with two +1/+1 counters on him
Game 2 2-1 . Esper control; I had some issues with Obzedat, Ghost Council blinking in and out. I kept in the savage born hydras for all three rounds because a double strike hydra I can dump mana in at any time was where it was at. Scourge of Valkas did some work when utvara came out and kept dumping dragons everywhere it was awesome. What killed me on the second round was Elspeth and her token army. I think this is why I took second place. Third round she was mana screwd so it was an easy victory, I'll take it. Oh and P.S., Ruric Thar really makes esper mad
Game 3 2-0 . Domri Rade was my all star here with his -2 fighting a Golgari control deck. I saw Vraska hurt my Kalonian Hydra the turn he came out but that was the most threatening thing. Well other than Deathrite Shaman hitting me for 6 health overall on the first round. When I overloaded Mizzium Mortars with 5 devotion to nykthos, shrine to the nyx on turn 4 it wiped the board and then it was strictly a boxing match with domri throwing hydras to Desecration Demon. Round 2 was a little more tough because of hero's downfall killing domri twice but he had no answers to scourge of valkas since he used all his removal on domri and BTE by turn 5. This left the air wide open and when I put out a storm breath and made him monstrous on the same turn the attack was enough for the win as I sacked a Elvish Mystic to Desecration Demon so he couldn't block. Is everyone running black?
Game 4 2-1 .
Blue devotion is soooo annoying! Once again domri saved my ass with his +1 keeping ahead of dissolve and essence scatter. Side board dragons didn't change the gameplay as much as ruric thar did but he kept the spells at bay. Mizzium Mortars cleared his Master of Waves
and once Ruric hit the board the only spell on my turn he did cast was dissolve at Kalonian and took the six damage to the face. Next turn I top decked a mistcutter and he won me the game. In fact Mistcutter Hydra won both games. Now I am thinking of adding two more permanently just to deal with blue or possibly witchstalker, but either way, I rocked the night as no one was playing gruul at my local shop and I haven't seen any of it.
Next FNM may be different though as everyone loves esper/devotion to black/blue there but now that I crushed that idea I may not do so well next time. I am almost thinking of splashing white for Fleecemane Lion and Chained to the Rocks. Maybe Boros Charm?
Now it's beer o'clock w00t w00t!
