so after the changes i made, i went 4-0 at FNM. The shop was not as crowded as usual because of Halloween. But only one of the people that almost always beat me was missing.
Round 1: i was up against jeskai aggro 2-1. i won game 1 just because he couldn't handle outburst into butcher into another butcher. game 2 we both got mana screwed. he had the wrong colors and i had not enough. he got the ball rolling on turn 6 and it was all over from then on. game 3 was much like game 1. it was a good game, but i just had better draws.
Round 2: was mardu tokens/aggro 2-1. game 1 i got stomped. i didnt have enough removal to deal with all of his little guys and he had plenty to deal with my few big guys. after sideboarding in all of my mass removal, i won games 2 and 3, even though i drew none of my sideboard cards. whip of erebos came to the rescue game 2 and liliana to search for whip game 3 game me enough life to keep up and seal the deal.
Round 3: R/G monsters 2-0. game 1 was really slow. i got a turn 3 master of the feast and he got a turn 4 stormbreath. i kept the master back to block until i could get the dragon out of the way. it took a bunch of turns, because he kept playing more pressing threats for me to use my removal on. he eventually ran out of threats, and it was over. game 2 was no problem. master on 3, butcher on 4, sarkhan on 5. he couldn't keep up.
final round: i was paired with the only other undefeated person. jeskai burn. we decided to draw so that we could lock up 1st and 2nd. i took 1st, just because of the way tiebreakers worked out. we decided to play just for fun to see who would have won. game 1 he kept bouncing and killing my dudes, so it took forever, but i eventually got 2 masters to stick and it was quick after that. game 2 he kept bouncing my dudes until he got narset onto the field. then he would counter any spells that could kill her. she took over with ease. game 3 was interesting it was outburs, then butcher, then another butcher, and then an elspeth all in a row. it was a quick game
