Round 1: UB Mill
W 2-1, And the player went 3-1 after 4th round. Me being the only lost.
Went after his life total fast has I could;Tarmogoyf, Grim flayer andseismic assault getting the job done. Still got me to one card in library in third game. We agreed it was a fun round.
Fun fact: conjurer's Bauble,cast Life from the loam, sacrifice conjurer's Bauble to dredge Life from the loam and throw 12 damages for 4 mana in one turn is fair.
@Mazereon: I took a more aggro path, leaving the combo secondary but still finished at least half my game with Seismic Assault kill. Conjurer's Bauble is maybe not optimal in every meta, but it filled its roll in my fnm beautyfully. Dredging Life from the loamfor free so casting two times for 4 mana is great value for me. Or the worse is you draw a card, boosting weather goyf or flayer. I am going to put fourth assault, cutting third Thoughtseize, but getting 3 red is relativly easy IMO. LFTL gets there pretty easy withFaithless Looting,Grim Flayer, Dark Confidant so don't know what I could cut for a fourth one. Let me know if everything make sense to yall. Thanks
ok, so hear me out: Conjurer's Bauble does so much of what my game plan is going. First, cheats a graveyard removal like Surgical Extraction, Scavenging Ooze and others (wich is a bummer in my metagame). Second, and most in my opinion, Draws ( So dredges ) us a card at instant speed if on board. Third, pumps Tarmogoyf and Grim Flayer. Fourth, it says ''up to one card''. Sidedeck is coming in later this week, but will include 2 Blood Moon. Checking in later, thanks!
Round one: Esper Death's Shadow
I Suprised him withseismic assault on third 3, throw enought damage next two turns to kill. Win first game easy
Lost the next two against negate, spell snare,and heavy pressure from tasigur, the golden fang, Gurmag Angler and abviously Death's Shadow.
Still Could have won third 2 times. I had him at lethal once (8 lifes), but he Collective Brutality drained 2 life and he finished the game at 1.
So The Gitrog Monster will hit the shelf for a while, concentrating on a more Jundish deck I'm use to play. I'm going to list another more aggressive deck this week, looking on @Killer_Manfred 's advices. I felt like sideboarding him out each game because I needed every land in hand to destroy early threats, almost never going to 5 lands in play. Or maybe pratice a more late game playline? Maybe more Fatal Push would have helped?
Big week ahead so I'll be reading the primer for the next friday night magic
Hi guys, and girls. As I said, my fnm Gitrog list is very at its beginning. Please comment keeping in mind I want to play The Gitrog Monster, Dakmor Salvage, and Seismic Assault combo. So if something most go, please tell me trading it with what. Plus help for sideboard is VERY welcome. Thanks
Hi everyone! Just tuning in this primer, and I cannot find no one talking about [The Gitrog Monster]. Isn't it a real thing or am I in the wrong primer. I have great fun having a way out when I top deck this big guy. Thanks

round 2: Rg Ponza
W 2-0, on the draw both game
He managed to castPrimal Command turn 3, putting my second land on top. But to get stormbreath Dragon, which I Terminated. He had a Inferno Titan in hand, but could not cast after I used Seismic Assault to killBirds of Paradise and Arbor Elf.
Conceded second game one a turn 5 two land, sorry Gerry.
round 3: Eldrazi D&T
First game one way; me getting Leonin Arbitered on one land, second land was a fetch, and never got third land to pay the cost.
second: He went 15tarmogoyf,10[/card]tarmogoyf[/card],7,2Tarmogoyf and closed with a Destructive revelryonaether Vial, nice.
Third got screwed keeping a one lander with aAether Vial, which I Kolaghan's Command. He dropped a Rest in Peaceafter having to Ghost Quarter is own Eldrazi Temple, meaning he missed lots of land drop, to late to stop Grim flayers andseismic Assault over Eldrazi Displacer left with the third round 3-0.
round 4: Esper Delver
L 0-2, But for my defense I usually am awake for the 16th hour of the day.loll
Still really close games, the Lingering Souls,Delver of Secrets flew over my defenses. Plus didn't thraw no Seismic Assault. Got Inquisition of Kozileked like three times first three turns on game one losing Seismic Assault,tarmogoyf,tarmogoyf kinda hand.
