I played in a 4 round FNM. Here is how it went
Game 1 I was against UW deck. Game 1 I won with well timed
thoughtseizes, in game 2 I lost to double aetherling and a bunch of
detention spheres. In game 3, it went to time, and I was able to get a
draw but really I would have lost because I thoughtseized an aetherling
from him, but then he used elixer of immortality and got one off the top
on his next draw that I couldn't deal with.
I don't know, in this match, it just seemed like I had to hope to strip
aetherling and elspeth was very annoying but managable with whip of
erebos.
So I drew in round 1.
In round 2 I played against RG devotion. I went 2-0, I basically killed
off as much stuff as possible early and was able to hero's downfall or
attack his planeswalkers, making sure his board state never got out of
control.
In round 3, I played against an esper deck. I lost game 1, but after
boarding in erebos's and duresses and LBZ I was able to strip BBoV and
keep him from gaining life with sphinx's. Game 3 I drew timely
far/away's to deal with BBoV and won.
In round 4, I went up against mono red devotion. I barely won game 1 off
of whip of erebos regaining me life and nightveil specter pulling
mountains and then additional blockers for me. In game 2, I drew 3
pharika's cures which helped me stall for such a long time and let me
win.
So I ended up going 3-0-1. I really wish I would have considered
gainsay. I think it might have been nice at countering detention sphere
and aetherling. I don't know, those feel like the worst cards for me to
play against.
I have been thinking of going 4 temple of silence and just playing sin
collector. But I'm not sure. I don't like the fact that I essentially
have 8 CIPT lands (watery grave, I feel like I usually want it to CIPT).
I really like splashing a color because mono black, while powerful,
feels like it has glaring weaknesses, but I don't like the inconsistency
of not having blue or so many different lands that pain me or cipt.
Maybe I'm just hard to please haha.
However, I do think that I will try out gainsay. I hate that I feel that
UWx feels like my hardest uphill matchup every time all the time. I
really just want my SB to be 4 duress 4 gainsay but I know that I need
the SB slots for other things.
