Friday Night Magic 2: The Infect Deck

So - Two friday night Magic's down.

Game 1: Played a 17 year old lady who had only bought her deck that day and hadn't really had chance to play with it (it was the empires Intro deck).  I won 2:0 but spent lots of time on education.

Game 2: Won the first round, but lost twice to terrible short mana.  The deck was mostly the bloodthirst Intro deck with some cool twists - this guy came 3rd/4th.

Game 3: This was Vs the combo deck from last week & I lost the first one then won a turn 2 super infect and drawn out regular infect. 2:1 and 2:1 overall.

Game 4: Played against the same deck as game 1 but with massive modification. I won a fast game 1, lost to empires in 2 and won on turn 3 in the final game.  3:1 and into the top 4 (woo!)

I chose Auramancer foil as my promo and gave it imediadly to a friend.

Game 5: Against the organiser again!! To revenge last weeks loss I won two straight games with infect to grab a Tormented Soul promo for myself.  Super Woo!

Game 6 - the Final.  We relaly only had time to play one fast game and after Mulliganing to 5 I still had nothing and had elected to play.  CAW living weapon made short work of me.  2nd is still amazing though.

Deck was
4x Titanic Growth
4x Giant Growth
4x Groundswell
4x Mutagenic Growth
as the engine

4x Glistner Elves
4x Phyrexian Myr

as the courier

with plenty of other evil tech to help such as the infect spider and corpse cur to pull it back.

Next week I'm thinking blue.  Maybe...

I got another Pharoh in the booster which is amazing for the black deck.

My First Friday Night Magic

Wasn't expecting much in the way of victories expecting all to be running tournament level stuff.  Turns out it was all friendly and similar to our own little game group. I'll happily go again next week.  Here are the Tweets from the evening.

I'm at my first #fnm about to get my ass handed to me by teenagers.


most have yugi out which is apparently sick... Not sure on numbers yet.


I see two black and red, and one illusions and lots of yugi. Nothing happening yet. Not sure what's happening!


Not sure what the kids in this internet cafe are playing but I want a go.  (Turns out it was League of Legends - looks good).


If you rush down you'd be top 8 and fifty fifty on a promo card. Thinking max 9 players. Non of the yugi lot are playing!


Game 1 against organiser. Close loss, fast win, close loss. Really fun final game, many creatures eaten. #fnm (I think I should have actually won the last game as I forgot to resurrect Vengeful Pharoh for free - killing his creature in process - winning this would have changed the whole evening :( )


Game 2, good player with odd, borrowed elves. Won two. Once I had control it was straight forward. #fnm (Turns out this guy had 4 Planeswalkers which never saw the board!)


Game 3: Red black burn. Obliterator won game 1, almost won a close game 2 which I'm not sure how I lost. And game 3 I was toast from opening (Think i messed up my creature attacks game 2 - could have got the extra damage.  G3 was a quick and messy affair...)


Game 4: guy hating his blue black deck from the start but it did lots but nothing deadly. 2 nil. #fnm (Opponent hadn't won all night and the deck seemed OK, but pushing in too many areas).


Overall I was joint third, but on opponents win percentages I was 7th! Still top 8 tho. ;) (yes - there were 8 players)
