FNM Tourney Report: 1st with Sligh

By Mikee Dalton

Hey ninjas, this is everyone’s favorite article writer man person and I got another deck I played at FNM for you guys. The idea first hit me when me and the Fresh One were talking about how broken blue is. Now a lot of you think no way! Blue isn’t broken and I reply with this...Yes it is! Any who, I played T2S and that stands for Type 2 Sligh and here is the deck list...

T2S

Creatures-
4x Hell-Bent Raider
4x Grim Lavamancer
4x Mad Dog 20/20
4x Mogg Sentry
4x FTK

Non-Creature Spells-
4x Firebolt
4x Fiery Temper
4x Violent Eruption
4x Sonic Seizure
4x Rites Of Initiation

Lands-
19x Mountains
1x Keldon Necropolis

Sideboard-
4x Molten Influence
4x Price Of Glory
4x Lightning Dart
3x Pit Trap
Super Tech!!! Here is how FNM went down...

Round 1: Sligh - Some 10 Year Old

OK check this out. No one, and I mean no one, plays mono color decks where I live let alone another T2S deck, I was tripping. I out burned him, out played him, and beat the hell out of him. He did drop a Worldgorger Dragon when I was at 7 though but he was at 5 so I Seizure him and madness a Temper. Record 1-0

Round 2: Counter w/ Guiltfeeder - One of the Good FNM Players

This guy won last week's FNM so I was more serious when I played him but still laughed and carried on about stupid crap like I always do. Game 1 was rough but he couldn’t stop the early creature rush and lost. Game 2 I sided in Price's and Influence and kept a starting hand of 3 mountains, 1 sentry, 1 temper, 1 influence, and a price. I dropped the price to lock him down when I had 3 creatures rushing him and I really don’t mind burning him on my turn :) Record 2-0

Round 3: Wonder Dog - Kellogg

If I haven’t told you before...I HATE WONDER DOG! But the guy playing it is cool, Kellogg he is pretty good for being like 9 and I joke with him all the time. During game 1 he dropped a mongrel and chucked 3 rootwallas at the end of my turn so I hid behind my cards and let my mad dog take the brunt of the attack but I managed to pull out and win game 1 and 2. Record 3-0

Round 4: Birds? - Bird Dude

In this round, Me and Birdman play to decide who wins the tournament. Who would have thought Sligh and a Bird deck make it to the finals with decks like Monascary, Psychatog, Wonder Dog etc. falling short? Well that’s how it went on Friday night and this dude's birds got huge. Game 1, sun tail hawk and second turn Aerie, he played battle screech twice and flashed both of them black making ten 2/2 birdies, but only 2 to block and he didn’t know I had 2 tempers and a violent eruption in my hand and a hell-bent down in play. He died 5th turn game 2. Record 4-0

YAY YAY! Mikey wins tournament and I turn 5 bucks into 10 packs. he he go me. Doug took like 6th I believe, sorry freshness it’s all good, you'll kick their asses next week at Mcdougles he he. Any who, Sligh is my favorite deck ever even if it’s T2 and that’s my 2 cents about it.
