2nd at standard FNM —Oct. 26, 2018
Had some interesting results at FNM this week. Below I will explain some of my matchups.
I had some fun matches against this deck I've never seen before. I've had the most trouble against Trostani Discordant because it was out of Deafening Clarion range. but when my deck was rolling there was no stopping it and I just outvalued my opponent.
This was a really hard match to win because he always had answers against my creatures or enchantments. Though I could overwelm my opponent with too many creatures if Sunbird's Invocation stayed on the field. I also had a bit of luck in our last game because my opponent didn't have any black mana until the late game.
Like I said in my previous update, the flyers in this deck like Thief of Sanity are really hard to deal with. I adjusted the sideboard a bit with some Flyers so I wouldn't lose my entire deck to Thief of Sanity.
This deck was just amazing to see in motion. He used Experimental Frenzy to just throw whatever he had to my face and if the top card of his libary wasn't what he wanted he used Wand of Vertebrae to mill the card. I won the first game because I had to many dinosaurs when I popped off but the second game he just burned my creatures to death and outvalued me. Last game I ended up mana screwed because of Goblin Chainwhirler killing all my ramp. This made me consider to replace Drover of the Mighty with Thunderherd Migration because decks that deal with my ramp destroy my entire plan.
No matter the result I had a lot of fun playing this deck at FNM and I'm still looking to improve it. I think I'm going to give Thunderherd Migration a shot next FNM and hope for better results.
