Went to FNM on September 7th at Gotham Comics in Westminster, MD.
I bring the one and only Naya Midrange (same deck as always in Standard)
Round 1: Steve with Budget Green/White Undying.
Steve starts out pretty strong with Strangleroot Geist and Young Wolf. Sadly, he burnt all of the gas out of his hand and I was able to get Thragtusk, Huntmaster, and Inferno Titan going to beat him in game one.
In game two, I played a turn 1 Grafdigger's cage. He was not able to remove it until it had already claimed two Strangleroot Geists and a Young Wolf.
(2-0)
Round 2: Chris with UW Delver.
Chris played a delver turn one and blind flipped it on his two showing mana leak, on to game 2.
In game two I had to mulligan kind of low. Chris played and blind flipped two delvers by turn 4. I got 3 lands the entire game, rout on!
(0-2)
Round 3: Mike Morgan with a UW Delver deck he borrowed.
I got mad control in game one but got smashed in game two.
In game three I got Sigarda going, who easily controlled the board thanks to hexproof. Mike did a TON of digging in this game (probably for Phantasmal Image), but was unable to deal with Sigarda.
(2-1)
Round 4: David with GR Werewolves
Lots of Mayors of Avabruck, Full Moons Rise, and cheap Werewolves. In game one, David came out swinging, emptied his hand pretty quickly, but could not draw a finisher before I was able to take control of the game. It helped that I played a spell every turn and was able to keep his wolves from flipping.
In game two David got a bit of a mana screw in color. Thundermaw Hellkite asserted himself in spectacular fashion.
(2-0)
So, I went 3-1(2-0, 0-2, 2-1, 2-0) with my only loss to a 3-0-1 finisher (the top two drew round 4).
Sadly, I was unable to place third (I got fourth) and missed out on the foil alternate-art Lingering Souls.
However, a good evening overall.
Until next time.
