'ello!
It's been over a month since I've posted about Magic, and I'm sorry. But, I'm back, and ready to get to it!
I don't remember my exact decklist for pre-DTK FNMs, but it was very similar to the list here. I also wasn't able to take note of my exact match results, so I'm going to have to wing it off of Planeswalker Points. With that, let's get it!
FNM 3/6/15
Going 3-2 in the swiss, I was on to top 8. Winning with tech Rabblemasters from the sideboard against UW control in the top 8, I went into the top 4. However, I was shut down in my rampage across the land, losing in 3 games to, I believe, Gu Devotion.
FNM 3/13/15
Once again 3-2 in the swiss, I made it all the way to the top 4 again before getting stopped in my tracks.
DTK Midnight Prerelease 3/21/15
I chose the dragon brood of Atarka at the only prerelease I went to, being rewarded by a promo Dragonlord Atarka, a foil Atarka's Command, and a Dromoka's Command. Unfortunately, I didn't even make it to top 8 with my pool. However, I suppose I can't complain, by the fact that this event kicked off spring break for me.
FNM 3/27/15
Being wise enough to save 7 Fate Reforged packs from previous weeks' winnings, I was able to trade them in for Dragons packs, with the only notable card being a Narset Transcendent. With the fact in mind that some people opened upwards of 2 boxes and didn't get a single planeswalker, I counted my blessings.
I do remember the list I ran this time.
Going 3-1-1 in the swiss, a few matches that I recall include winning 2/3 games against a deck I will dub as a 'budget' dragon deck of the Atarka colors. I wasn't even mad losing the second game with me getting stuck at 3 lands and not finding a 4th until I was facing down a Thunderbreak Regent, Savage Ventmaw, and a Foe-Razer Regent.
In the 5th round of the swiss, I was up against a sweet-looking GW Warriors deck, sporting cards such as Surrak, the Hunt Caller, Hidden Dragonslayer, Den Protector, Avatar of the Resolute, and Dromoka's Command. Games 1 and 2 went quickly with a win to each of us. In the final game, I was quickly beaten down to around 10 life before I was able to stabilize. At that point, we both built up an impressive board state, with him deciding enough was enough, swinging all-out. He had forgotten that I had Winds of Qal Sisma, however, losing the majority of his forces, dying for exactly enough on the crack-back.
Top 8, I was against a Temur anti-control deck, crushing it appropriately.
In the top 4, I faced my bane, David, running his usual UW control. However, I was able to back-to-back-to-back Crater's Claws him out, with the second sucking up a counter, giving him the confidence to tap-out for an Elspeth, giving me ONE chance to topdeck the third Claws for the win before he locked the game up.
With my head high, I went into the finals against Lyndsey, running Esper control. Game one was grindy, with me winning it. Game 2 I was stuck on 4 lands with 5-drops rotting in my hand, getting pummeled in card advantage by an opposing Narset. With the sight of an Elspeth, I packed in, heading for the final game. She never hit a 4th land, however, resulting in a guilt-ridden win for me.
Well, I suppose I will call it quits there for today, leaving you guys on your toes about last week. The main reason for doing so is that I'm being yelled at to get into the car to go to school, but I digress.
Until next time,
