I went to Gotham Comics in Westminster, MD for FNM.
This FNM was Commander, and the prize was the ability to purchase the arsenal at MSRP. Twenty people showed up (Actually more than that, but due to seating registration was capped to twenty)
We would do two rounds. The first round is five four-person pods. The winner of each of those pods would form a five-person pod for the finals.
I took my Degenerate Hermit Druid self mill deck. Progenitus is my commander.
Round One:
Me: Progenitus
Tyler: Mangara of Corondor
Chris: The Mimeoplasm
John: Child of Alara
The guys spend their first couple of turns building up their board. They are all tapped out when I go off turn five and kill everyone.
We then played another game where I switched decks to Grimgrin.
Round Two (The Finals)
Me: Progenitus
Rob: Karador, Ghost Chieftan
Jordan: Zur, the Enchanter
Paul: Ob Nixilis, the Fallen
Josh: Animar, Soul of Elements
This is a pretty stacked pod, with at least two other decks (Zur and Animar) being combo decks.
Paul (Ob Nixilis) gets a pretty threatening board state immediately with a turn 3 Skithiryx and begin infecting people for four. I drop a turn two Survival of the Fittest. I sit quietly and play no other spells, nor do I activate Survival. They are unprepared when I combo off again on turn five. (It turn out that the person to my left was also going to combo off on turn 5)
So, I end up winning both games by going off on turn five. The deck is completely dirty and I imagine very unfun to play against. Since it accomplished its goal, I will be disassembling it.
Until next time...
