FNM and post competition deck edits —Oct. 3, 2014
FNM I went 2-1-1.
I lost round 1 to RW Soldier Aggro. Their field just got wider than mine plus the tricks of Titan's Strength, Launch the Fleet and Coordinated Assault
round 2 was against Jund Walkers. We ended up going 1-1 because game 1 took 30 minutes. I should've conceded around 20 minutes to have time to go to a game 3, but made the stupid decision not to. We sat with a stalled field state for too long and I couldn't push through enough without losing my creatures in trades to hornets backed by a Soul of New Phyrexia. game 2 went without a hitch and Thassa, God of the Sea was the mvp letting dig under his Hornet Nests to wipe his walkers and kill him.
round 3 was a win vs UW lifelink and he couldn't put up any disruption so I out board presence him and pushed through with trample pretty quickly
round 4 was a win vs vanilla abzan, she got mana screwed both games and the third fun game afterward so she got stomped pretty hard
Deck Edits Afterwards
the deck ran too slow. I've decided to try speeding things up a bit and add some more disruption against general removal threats.
-2 Temple of Mystery, +2 Yavimaya Coast
-1 Genesis Hydra, +1 Sagu Mauler
-1 Rattleclaw Mystic, -1 Sylvan Caryatid, +2 Stubborn Denial
-1 Temple of Abandon, -1 Mountain, +2 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
these edits should hopefully give me a bit more speed to the board for the presence that this deck is built to provide.

@mysticatt
I run the Wooded Foothills because I can both fetch for Forest and Mountain cards. If I use other fetch lands, I can only grab 1 of the 2 lands possible and therefore feel better served by running the basic rather than paying 1 life. Additionally, because Misty Rainforest and Scalding Tarn are not currently in standard, I am not running enemy colored fetches.

@Weisemanjohn well that makes perfect sense thanks for the reminder about Misty Rainforest and Scalding Tarn .

I don't quite understand your mana base, is there a reason you only run r/g fetches? You can't use them to fetch the temples so why only those fetches?
