Just got to finish up my first FNM. Had a good start that dropped off fast. Couldn't get my two last Vensers before the tournament so I was still playing with two Leylines in their place. My first two matches went wonderfully, winning both 2-0. First was against a red Koth ramp sort of deck that I think ran a little slower than intended. First game I ended up with one of his Inferno Titans, a Frost Titan, and a Precursor Golem in my Mimic Vats at the same time. It was excellent.
Second round was against mono White control, a match up I clearly excelled at. He had some land flood, but I essentially had an answer for anything he had.
I didn't win another game the rest of the night. I played against a Boros deck third round. First game he dropped me low and then killed me with a top decked Spikeshot Elder right when I was about to come back for the win. The next game I didn't have enough answers because I only drew one Day and couldn't stop Squad Hawk with Sword of Body equipped. I probably could have won second game if I had done my sideboarding better.
Round four was against mono Green Eldrazi. It was an unbelievable stomp. His turn four he cast Emrakul first game, second game he summoning traps into an Ulamog about fifth turn and cast Emrakul the next turn.
Last round was against mono Red Kiln Fiend deck. Cool guy and a decent deck. Made my come back first game by getting both of his Cyclops Gladiators into my Mimic Vats, but he burned me to four and then top decked a Fireball for the kill. Game two I was just setting up my position when he plays two Pyretic Rituals, two burn spells to kill both of my Oracles, and hits me for 26 with his two Kiln Fiends. Bravo, good sir.
Looking into improving my deck's speed and possibly having Journey to Nowhere to prepare for Eldrazi.
