Last night this deck went 3-2!!! Just to break it down:

-

Round 1: 2-0

I was playing a mono-black discard & Waste Not deck. Didn't have much trouble here as I emptied my hand quick dealing damage to him, at which point he was low on health and I had no cards to discard.

Round 2: 1-2

Played a boros burn deck. Game 1 I was in the clear until an Assemble the Legion hit the board on his side and I was overwhelmed. Game 2 I was on my game with an Underworld Cerberus on turn 3. Assemble the legion hit the board later, but it was too late, and I burned him for the game. Game 3 we were both at 7 health when I double Lightning Strike'd on my turn to clear his field but he used Boros Charmfoil in response and swung in for the game next turn.

Round 3: 0-2

Played a mono-red devotion deck, where a combination of bad hands, Fearsome Temper, and Fanatic of Mogis killed me.

Round 4: 2-0

This round I was playing The Doctor's BUG superfriends deck. Game 1 went pretty fast as I got a good start and he didn't draw into much removal. Game 2 it got really close when he had Cyclonic Rift lined up to clear my board of an Underworld Cerberus and 2 Stormbreath Dragon's. Luckily, I top-decked a Duress and used it pre-combat for the win.

Round 5: 2-0

Played a rakdos deck with multiple single cards and a lot of burn spells. Not much to say here other than even though I got bad hands my draws were still more consistent and synergized better than his.

Overall, the deck did pretty well, even though I consistently got paired with mirror-matches. In response to this, I've already added more burn (and a bit of removal protection) to the deck. I'm also really siked for 2HG this coming Friday to really test this deck against other deck types.
