FNM 5/25/18 - Return of the Bogles
Tonight was a night I was looking forward to: the night I take my Bogles deck out for another spin. Since it’s Memorial Day weekend we didn’t get as big of a turnout as we did last week for Modern but we got six players which is enough to fire even though there were only three rounds.
First round I went up against mono-green Infect and won that pretty easily. The first and third games he just drew all lands and no spells which made winning easy for me. Second round I went up against a Tron-like deck and won that one as well. I was super happy about that because Tron is another deck I’ve never beaten before and even though it wasn’t pure Tron I still won. I haven’t played against it since the last store I went to so it was good to find out I can (sort of) beat it.
Third round was against my dreaded foe: Storm. Whether or not it was the same guy I played against last time I don’t know but he won the first game and I won the second. I kept a hand with ZERO “bogles” in it but had a Leyline of Sanctity and a Rest in Peace so as much as I didn’t want to keep it I had to and I’m sure glad I did. Then the third round I started out strong and had Eidelon of Rhetoric in my hand (the 1/4 Enchantment Creature that makes it so each player can only cast one spell per turn) and thought I had a chance at winning but then he cast a Blood Moon and completely screwed me up so I lost. I won second place though so I got a promo (Cast Down) and three packs which I didn’t get anything that good out of.
Overall I had a good night and went 2-1 which is better than average for me. Now that I’m back to playing Modern again I can get used to the different decks and find strategies to beat them. Next week I’m leaning towards Draft to test my luck again.
