I know the meta game at FNM can be really shifty " especially if players like to brew". Some weeks I go 4-0 easily other weeks it's a struggle to go 1-3.
I think Competitive tourneys are actually easer since the meta is usually known and predictable.
Noobplayer, reading your first post I'd be more surprised if you ran away with gameday and came in first than trip and fall. Usually, if a meta allows a new player to simply play with a single deck and win with barely any practice, it's something like the meta we just ran through where Saheeli cat combo and Mardu Vehicles were running around. I played spirits and made first last summer at fnm with only a few basic practice runs at my house.

3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
The decks I played against weren't homebrews or bad players. I actually didn't expect to beat half of them with what I played (check it out in link above).
Oh I wasn't inferring anything negative about your experience. It sounded like your games went well.
