Fuck Wolf Run

I played in a Friday Night Magic tournament tonight at Knightfall Games. Result: 3 wins, 1 loss---finished in 4th place behind Ryan E, Adam B, and David---all of whom scored 3-1. In other words, I once again lost on tiebreakers. My only loss of the evening was to Ryan E in the second round. Ryan was piloting a "Haunted Humans" deck he’s played before, while I piloted a Wolf Run deck with Slagstorms in the main. The games were rather one-sided and Ryan crushed me without receiving a point of damage in return. I have to say, Wolf Run is a fun deck to play, but the deck seems to consistently fail to win first place. The deck usually scores well, like 3-1, but never seems to get to that 4-0 mark. Still, my objective at FNM isn’t really to win, since the prizes are often shit anyway, but rather to enjoy the competition and the deck itself. Mental note for the future though: If you are aiming to win the tournament, Tempered Steel is probably a better choice.
