Friday Night Magic @ Above Board Games

FRIDAY NIGHT MAGIC

Well...so much for RDW, turns out a ton were playing ti last night and I was forced to play Jund.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Match 1: Played against a Vampire Deck.
Game 1: Got a decent opening hand, 2nd turn Leech, 3rd turn Thurinax, 4th trun Garuuk, and lots of burn and 2 Blightning. Me-19 Him-0

Game 2: Mull down to 6 and still had turn 2 Leech and 1 blightning. I had answers for what ever was played. Thought Hemo'd Tendrills, next turn Blightning to seal the deal. Me-16 Him-0

I won 2-0.

Match 2: Vampires AGAIN!
Game 1: Lots of removal in opening hand with Thurinax. Pretty much goes the same way as the 1st match-up, Blightning seems to screw Vampires hardcore. Me-18 Him-0

Game 2: Mull to 5, kept a hand with 3 mana and terminate/ thurinax. I held on as long as I could. Couldn't get enough answers...lost to Lacerater's. Me-0 Him-12

Game 3: Decent hand, leech and Bloodbraid and pulse/LB. Drew into a thought hemo tendrils, (seems that tendrils and bloodwitch malikir are the win factors for vamps) unfortunately he had bloodwitch in his hand along with 2 Vam Noct. I put up the best fight i could. But in the end, I ran outta fuel. Me-0 Him-5

I lost 2-1

Match 3: Esper (basiclly UW Control)

Game 1: I started strong with thurinax, leech and bllod braid. 5th turn I got a Garuuk up and making 3/3 beast tokens confirmed my victory. Me-20 Him-0

Game 2: I sided in 2 Thought Hemo and Jund Charms and 3 Runeblasters. This game was too close for either of our liking. Sejiri Refuge single handedly won him the game, who would have figured that turn 2 land +1 life would make that much difference. IT DID! I got him down to 7 life and he had gotten me down to 4 life. I top deck a Thought Hemo and I had nothing on the board. I played it and named Day of Judgment. He had 2 in his hand and I had nothing else to play and I lost that one. Me-0 Him-1

Game 3: Mulled to 6 and probably should have went down to 5, but against UW control, that would be too much of an advantage for him. No creatures in opening hand, few burn and a pulse. When his Sphinx got on the board and Luminach Ascension. He just had to sit there and wait for my creatures to counter and remove. Him-18 Me-0

I Lost 2-1

Match 4: Would have been a different version of RDW

Game 1 & 2: The guy I was playing was trading cards outta his deck and gave me the 2-0 win.

In the end, at least I got a door prize, a FNM Foil Oblivion Ring

After reading everything I wrote, I only wrote mostly what I played. Next time I will try to remember more what the opponent was playing. Until next time...keep side-boarding.
