FNM Success with Gruul Monsters

FNM-Gruul-Monsters
I finally got first place in Friday Night Magic after months of drought of winning the said event. The deck I played is Red Green Monsters: the current archetype I am testing in preparation for the PTQ this February 15th.

My matches went with Boros Midrange in Round 1, BW Control Round 2, Mono Black Devotion Round 3 and finally Blue White Control in the last round in which we just drew. My recent changes in the deck list was the addition of 3 Magma Jets as per advised in this article. The card proved useful in two important situations in my game matches earlier, scrying down the two useless lands in the late game and did some mini combo with Domri’s +1 ability.
