FNM Outcomes —Nov. 29, 2013
Although this deck has gone through some heavy playtesting, I have yet to update it since no one is following this deck. It would be very appreciated if you could upvote this and provide some feedback. Anyways, I have made some changes to the deck, mostly to reflect the meta-game at the store I play in. I removed an Akroan Hoplite for another Boros Charm
since there is much more board sweepers to worry about, and giving my creatures indestructible can save them. I also aquired an Ogre Battledriver, which has filled in a spot opened up by removing the two Spear of Heliod. The other card to fill that slot was a foil(!) Archangel of Thune which I pulled out of an M14 pack I won at an FNM. I also did some serious retooling of the sideboard, moving a Brave the Elements to the mainboard from the side. I cut one Banisher Priest to incorporate Ajani, Caller of the Pride since I saw him do pretty well in Chris Barone's Red/White deck in the SCG Open Series. The new sideboard consists of Aurelia's Fury to do anything I need it to, Spark Trooper because I have always wanted to try them in a constructed list, Wear / Tear for any pesky enchantments or artifacts, and finally a Pithing Needle for planeswalkers. This new version has performed much better than the original, with the Ogre Battledriver and Archangel of Thune to help in the later game and some board insurance in Brave the Elements and Boros Charm.
My last FNM games have been relatively successful, winning more than 50% of the time. On the 15th, I managed to go 4-1, winning two matches 2-1 and the other two 2-0. The one game I lost to was a mono-black devotion deck that top decked extremely well. On the 22nd, I went 3-2, losing to only mono-blue devotion decks and beating an American control deck and two mono-black devotion decks. The deck can't deal with the onslaught of tokens from Master of Waves and I only won one game against that deck after I sweeped the board with an overloaded Mizzium Mortars and a subsequent alpha strike. The only additions I can still se are land, namely two Sacred Foundry and another Mutavault or two. Any feedback is once again appreciated and thank you.
