I entered Friday Night Magic this week with a Green/White/Blue Human Tribal deck, that should have been good, but if felt so bad after round three, that I probably wouldn't have thought twice about dropping if Jaime had needed me home.

I started the night having lost my last 8 rounds of Magic in a row...which started with round 4 of the Release Party after last weeks FNM, and through 4 rounds of a second release party on Saturday, and 3 rounds of Draft on Tuesday. The deck was just very inconsistent.

I had a chance to win round 1, and stalled horribly...round 2 was so bad, that I had a hard time congratulating the other guy for a good game. Round 3 was such a horrible mismatch against pod, and a deck that just stalled yet again.

There's a reason I don't play aggro...I'm horrible at it! I'm horrible playing with it and against it...

Then came the kid in round 4...the little kid born in 2000...and I almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory...I let it go to game 3, and had to get the bonuses and flying angel token to manage to win that game...but it stopped my 11 round losing streak. And that made me happy...

Round five, found my deck working with a win over Freshwater and his blue deck, though even that went to three games.

So I ended the night at 2-3 at FNM, which is the block I'm kinda in - 2 and 3 to 3 and 2...that 4th win is so elusive.

Draft followed with a first round rematch against Freshwater who I managed to win games 2 and 3 against, followed with a game 2 and 3 win against Aaron, to put me at 2 and 0 and playing for first place in the pod...well that hurt to lose games 1 and 3 and finish third, due to a another player going 2-0-1 and just edging me out...

I started 0-3 but went ran 4 straight wins and with a loss at the end I finished at 4-4...

I really need to work a little harder to get over that .500 hump.
