First night at card shop earned mii a 1-2-1. I was always fighting from a major disadvantage in vard value, but my little sucklings fought hard asa team. I fought a fully maxed out control deck for 50 minutes to a single draw.

Legion's landing dint show up enuff to prove value, but Argul's blood fart sure did. this deck consistantly had enuff life link to draw big time. Not sure about Radiant Destiny, had it in hand a few times and din't play it over the vamps I had.

Skymarcher is a beast, as well as Vanguard, just the threat of making him invincible was enuff for easy early hits. Forerunners and profis were awesome.

Settle the Wreckage saved my game a few times, I may have to play 2. Dusk/Dawn worked once, and failed cause guy had little creatures also. Brought back 7 vamps the one tim eI got to cast Dawn. Baffling end worked real good, kinda want 4 as it's one of my only creaute removals.

I  think 2 Vanguards, and 2 Voratious is how im gonna go, next week, but I am likely to waffle on that.

Arguel's Blood Fart. Haha.

Profane Procession could be a sideboard addition; gets you instant speed removal in your colors, is another enchantment that ends up ramping you, and gives you access to your opponent's threats. In later games, this is more card advantage.

I will consider PP. I don't usually put spendy cards like that , but every game last night went long and i routinely had 6+mana. I'm thinking of 2 Fragmentize for sideboard as well.

That last game was amazing to watch. For the first time that night, I finished early enough to watch closely. The back and forth against a really good control deck (I played against the control player round 1; i got a close win and Control had to Mulligan more than once, so I know odds were on my side).

The interplay with your evasive lifelink flyers feeds adanto vanguard and arguels blood fast to put pressure on; the flip on blood fast gave even more life lategame when control drops their endgame. You playing an aggro / token strategy when your opponent has 2x authority of the consuls on the battlefield, that was wild. I think if you had more instant speed reaction to the few threats a control deck presents, you would have had that 2-0; you had to give him 4 life a turn to reload for attack - or, at times chump blocking a torrential gearhulk. As it was, card draw seemed like it hit what you needed.

That's not taking away from your opponent (let's call him Fred). As I said, Fred and I faced off round 1, and I got good draws and he didn't, so I got away easier than you did.  Cool story: he was one of the awesome players who helped me at my 1st prerelease; let me ask questions during the game, offered gentle advice on making a deck from a sealed pool after our round, etc. Just the best kind of person to play with.  I probably owe my first LGS win to listening to Fred's advice. It was his first time at the shop in awhile, he said, and everyone watching it thought it was dope; you gave him a great game even if it was a game 1 draw.

Yea, I was out dollared each time and held my own in all but the first round. It feels real good to work a 250$ control deck helped by a good player with only 45$ worth of cards.

I felt like I had sufficent lifegain in every game to dra cards and use Vanguard's power.

2nd night at LGS. 2-1. This deck lost hard to a tuned up red deck. Bad draws made a sustained effort impossible. 2nd and 3rd rounds I played 2 very different ecks with ssame result, drew out the game with bigtime lifelink, timely removal and good draw. Blood Fast, Recover, and Forerunner add alot of vampires to my hand. Vanguards were a problem for opponents every time, and the Aura I added worked great both times I played it. WOndering if I should add in one moar big finishing vampire to fish out with Forerunners.

Had another mixed night with Ws and Ls, but had a blast in the last round. Beat a top notch approach deck in 3 games. I had added a Sanctum Seeker ona lark and it ended the rubber match 3 cards fromo his 2nd sun. I side boarded moslty good. Beating a deck like that with a great plaer behind it is a big win for this pack of SuckMonkeys. Gonna go to 2 Sanctum Seekers at the cost of a Sky Marcher. not sure yet if im gonna add a 3rd Recover. Side boading up to 4 Recovers saved me against control. Won 2 packs and a showdown bonus pack.

[SereneTsunami]

Im gonna set my control sideboard in writing so im not guessing every time im at the LGS.

I can take out
3 Baffling End
2 Authourity of the Council
2 Gifted Aetherborn
1 settle the wreckage

I will add:
2 Ixalan's Binding
2-4 Fragmentize
1 Lost Legacy
2 Recover
and or 2 Sword-Point Diplomacy

Turn 1 is a kind of dead spot in your mana curve; of course, every game I've played against this deck you've gotten legion's landing out t1. You wanna put pressure on right away, and a turn 1 removal spell fits the bill. Maybe fatal push can make sure your aggro creatures plan gets through and stars the bloodletting early with an open field; in the late game you have chump attackers/blockers to turn on the higher end and allow push to hit 4cmc creatures. Best to have it early, but it's decent whenever you draw it.

If I was gonna squeeze in 2x push, I'd move settle the Wreckage to the sideboard (bring it in against aggro/token/tribal decks game 2) and cut 1 baffling end, down from 3 to 2. To make room in the sideboard for settle, you could trim the 3rd lost legacy. I can't see a time I'd want to give up 3 of your mainboard for all 3 lost legacy if I were piloting post sideboard.

Then again, your lifegain potential means the few cheap shots you take from an opponent's unchallenged t1 play are of less concern. Just thinking of ways to use t1 better. Authority of the consul x2 in the maindeck is going to be good against 60-75% of the deck's being played, so maybe 4x 1cmc spells is enough for your aggro suckmonkeys to prevail without juicing your removal package.

Adding a third Legion's Landing is about top of my list. 2 fatal pushes would likely be worth it.

[SereneTsunami]

Did another SNM I lost to R/G creatures, bad mana. I forced 0-1-1 draw against a elite level scorpion god deck. Im pretty sure he had several turns where he played cards worth more then my whole dock. Itwas a great game. Blood Fast was awesome. 3rd round was a control Hailfire thing. I won one, but then he played 2 carnage Tyrants ina row, Had vampires to stall, buthe had removal for everything. Were great games, learned alot, and my 3rd Legions Landing I bought was wprth it. I cast one on urn one in prolly 75% of games.

[SereneTsunami]

I have removed a Baffling End and Moved Authourity to the sideboard. There is too much Control out there. I am thinkging of 3 different cards for the 3 slots.

3 Martyr of Dusk. A 2 drop with some value if he does.

3 Skymarcher Aspirant. Quick pressure, something I dont have a ton of. Im not sure how often I git Blessing. So this is iffy.

3 Arterial Flow. Seems like this is a good one vs. Control. This could really cut down on removal of vampires.

THoughts?
