Ahh. Feels good to be able to sit down a write this after so long.
So basically, I don't want to delve (heh) as deep as I did last time, so I'll just do the past month of events. (Which includes Game Day and a Two-Headed Giant event, for value!)
I have been playing Green Devotion, splashing red for Crater's Claws and Xenagos, the Reveler. This past month I have been playing exclusively that deck, and loving it. Here is the list I've been using.
FNM 2/06/15
Off to a good start winning the first round, I was humbled by my second opponent to go on to win the rest of my matches, winning a Gruuling devotion mirror in the finals.
FNM 2/13/15
Went completely undefeated, not even losing a game, to face my father in the finals. He was rocking a B/R brew featuring Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, attempting to grind out opponents with small, aggressive deathtouch creatures. Luckily, I didn't have to have my Arbor Colossus(s) trade with his Typhoid Rats, as he conceded the match to me. (We share a card pool anyway, so the prize split didn't matter.)
Fate Reforged Game Day 2/14/15
Ah, Valentine's Day. I hate it. -_- It didn't hate me, though. I went undefeated once more, facing devotion mirror in the finals AGAIN to pull out and win off a Barrage of Boulders. Ladies may not want to be with me, but Ugin does. <3
FNM 2/20/15
Round 1, I played against Nick, who has been down on Magic for a while, but has returned, ready to save the day with... 5 Color "Lucky Charms"?! Either way, Temur Charm proved to be almost worthless once more, putting me at a good start with a win.
Round 2, I was pitted against Jeremy, playing Goblins. Usually, I have an OK matchup against various red decks, due to Theros block all-stars Courser, Caryatid, and Polukranos. Unfortunately, it didn't work either game, putting me at a humble 1-1.
Round 3, the computer paired me against Lane, piloting Villainous Wealth. Unfortunately, I was able to use Dictate of Karametra better than him, allowing me to Crater's Claws him out in our 2 games. 2-1
Round 4 saw me playing against Ben, rocking an aggressive Jeskai brew featuring Shaman of the Great Hunt, Mantis Rider, and Goblin Rabblemaster, backed up with a bunch of burn. Losing game one, it triggered my Temur Battle Rage (of which I run none), allowing me to crush him game 2. However, this Jeskai student would not be put down, so it was off to the races. Unfortunately for him, I have big creatures, he had small burn spells. Also, WINds of Qal Sisma did a good number on him, leaving me at 3-1.
Round 5 had me against Kaleb, cruising (not literally) with Gu Devotion. Unfortunately, game 1 was over with just under 15 minutes left on the clock. He was able to Aqueous Form his way to victory game 2 on turns. 3-1-1
In the top 8, I was playing against Tyler, playing Gr Devotion as well, but with Rabblemasters. I Crater's Claws'd him to death from 21 with 3 lands in play game 1, which he was impressed by, to say the least. Game 2 I kept a loose one on the draw, eeking out a victory after triple-Rabblemaster beats.
On to the top 4, I had played against Ben once more. Winning game one boosted my confidence a little too high, keeping a loose one games 2 and 3, with me facing death while barely putting a dent in his life total.
While I still have to speak of this most previous Friday Night's adventures, along with the fun of 2-Headed Giant, I believe I shall end it here, as I have to get ready for school!
Until next time,
