Friday Night Magic Results For August 20th 2010

Alrighty then it's been a while since i've done one of these FNM wrap ups for the usual week i tend to go to these things, so let's get started with the basics, it's been about 2 months since i've been there and such, so i was bound to get a bit rusty since of course i had not played in so long, so let's go.

The draft deck itself was a Red/White based burn aggresion strategy, with some small creatures and of course big bombs with burn and such, with some red creatures being very powerful for a cheap cost, i felt it was good but the matchups were a terrible choice since i faced nothing but control and a mirror match the entire night.

Let's now go over the rounds that were played on this particular night in question so let's go over each of the rounds one by one in order too

Round 1 Vs Green/Blue Control/Aggro

Game 1 this was fun, i managed to get all three hawks on, with inspired charge, swinging for the win in the air with no major threats, not bad, not bad 1-0 round 1 so far, Game 2 was a more close one, got none of the hawks, got some beaters in, but not enough damage to win the round entirely meaning my opponent made me scoop due to this fact i was on 4 life facing down 8 power worth and only 1 blocker, not good 1-1 at this point. Game 3 was the best thus far, both of us pushed our decks to the limit, he getting his combos off, me dealing damage and destroying him, bringing it down to the final minute of the last round before i said Good game and scooped leaving my opponent with a victory

0-1 at this point, round 2 was a bye so i got a win automatically, not complaining here onto round 3.

Round 3 Vs Red/White Aggro

Game 1 total blowout, got screwed via land and ended up scooping rather quickly once he got 2 serra angels down, literally only 4 creatures the entire game, not good, 0-1 at this point, if you followed my twitter i ranted on this match due to the fact the opponent declared i was stacking the deck, aka cheating when i was shuffling normally and refused to let him cut, the match ended shortly after because i refused to let him cut, so 1-2 was the record up to now, not a good start to FNM again

I decided to drop round 4 because frankly i wasn't gonna win nothing, as well as it was getting late so overall a eventful night, i only rare drafted one rare overall and it was a mana fixer for emergencies, i felt i could have done a bit better in the draft, there is always next time right, anyhoo this is vergil signing off for this one
