Last night went for an FNM at SS14. Bought 4 Rune Snags and 3 Faerie Trickery. I had no confidence in my millfolk so I changed back to merfolk aggro.

1st round - Fought with Blue black deck, with riftwing cloudskate hitting me with loxodon warhammer. only 3 lands came out, couldn’t last long enough to kill and Mana screw. Second match. Good hand, and then no creatures came out, lots of counters came out but no creatures. Only lands. 0-2. Should have shuffled properly and mulligan. 1 table shuffle and the combining shuffle thing. And judge of currents to keep me alive. Right now games that stretch doesn’t seem favorable to me.

 

2nd round - Dragonstorm! I have no trickbind. Killed most of my creatures with direct damage and finishes off with Dragonstorm. 2nd match.  Good hand,  and opponent have bad hand. Killed him off before he got any combos going. 3rd Match. Good hand, but my timing was off, I shouldn’t have cast Mirror Entity early (should wait until I have enough mana to boost all my creatures to become 2/2 and attacked). If I waited with mirror entity in hand, he would’ve been more relaxed and gave me a go and I could’ve killed him with one swing. He killed all my creatures with direct damage and grapeshot storm (sorcery). 1-2

3rd round - Reveillark. Infinite life combo and infinite bounce combo. I felt both. Lost 0-2. I should’ve put more counters especially Declaration of Naught to lock down all his combos. 1st lock down Venser so he couldn’t bounce my DoN. Next, lock down reveillark / body double whichever I see fit and lastlyl mirror entity. Faerie Trickery should be used to lock down reveillark. And tormod’s crypt (after DoN have come into play and named Venser).

After 3 weeks in a row without any wins. I felt fucking depressing. But hey, "I get knocked down but I get up again, you’ll never gonna keep me down!" (Chumbawamba). Keep up the professional attitude and keep on playing!
