I don't think I'm the only one surprised at the lack of success by faeries last weekend. That said, as a faerie player the outcome couldn't have been better for me. If people lay off the Riftsweepers or switch to 'lark things will look pretty good come regionals. I do really like the five color control deck but won't consider playing it at regionals because I can't test it on MODO and I have countless faerie matches under my belt.
Speaking of my playing faeries it has been a bad week. Last friday I picked up the first loss with the deck at FNM loosing in round two to Revelliark, 0-2. It was quite frustrating but what can you do. FNM faeries record: 16-1. Last night I went 4-6 on modo with faeries, by far my worst performance with the deck. At least half of my game losses were to mana problems, usually never drawing a land or black source. I did get "lucky" one game and draw 18 lands. I cut back to 25 lands as it seems I'll get mana screwed ether way so might as well try and get lucky.
I'm starting to play around with the maindeck, I tried Ponder as per a SCG article but honestly in the six or seven games I played with that list I was unimpressed. I'll try and get more testing in with it but can't be sure. I think I will next try maindeck Thoughtseize cutting the three Nameless Inversions for a trio of the sorcery. This means I have to juggle the sideboard around I'm thinking:
1 Thoughtseize
3 Damnation
3 Razormane Masticore
2 Nameless Inversion
2 Slaughter Pact
4 Flashfreeze
In paper I do like the Murderous Redcap tech and will probably cut the Slaughter Pacts for them along with a Flashfreeze for a Nameless Inversion.
